What are the categories? It is difficult to find the difference b/t Catch Phrase One & the second edition

I don't know what the deal is with the 2nd edition.. it says Copyright 2004 on the box.. but the other catch phrase game doesn't say 2nd edition, yet it says Copyright 2009.

The second edition Catch Phrase is simply more up to date in terms of phrases, people and places. The people are more current. I like it.

Buy the one that from Hasbro that has two white buttons (above & below LCD) and 2 small blue bums just to either side. It has a blue edge on the lower left & upper right. This original version it has 11 categories; these ones with 4 buttons have only 5 categories! The older one is much better.

I bought this for my nine year old son. He asked for this particular game. He does not have the 1 or 2 versions. He loves it and plays it a lot. I don't believe you need the other two to enjoy this game. We got a used version, it is fine and was half the price.

I think I have the second edition Plus the factions expansion I think they are out with a fourth edition this year and a new expansion is coming out DEC this year. I don't think the faction expansion is worth it I hardly ever play it. If you need more info go to www.boardgamegeek.com

I don't know if it's the newest edition but I can tell you my game was made in 2011. I hope this info helps you.

In addition to what others have said, the first edition had a lot more monster tokens, while the second edition had fewer, but more generic tokens. IMO, this was an improvement.

I received the 4th edition recently when I ordered from Amazon, small board misprint and all. :) One of the rocket markers had a broken fin, but game salute replaced it for free. djm

Hello, you do not need the original version as the gold edition has the complete original game. It is a lot of fun and provides lots of game time. I highly recommended it both for those who enjoy battle games and city building as it is a blend of the two.

I believe my edition is the 3rd addition 2008, and I have wooden blocks for my animals. Look at http://boardgamegeek.com/ for discussions on the editions. I know they are up to the 7th edition but it is in German only and from what I hear the German edition need a few changes that were already in the other language translated editions. Hope that helps.

The one I purchased was the first edition of the expansion. I don't know of the second is out yet.

I believe this is the second edition of the game from Eagle Games, not sure of the differences from the 1st to 2nd, but as far as I know the one they are selling is the 2nd edition that was released in 2010.

The second edition has a larger board with more territories, and a somewhat more complex rule set. It is designed for a more advanced gamer, and removes some of tha advantages the Allies had in the 1st edition game.

My thought on this is you want to look at reveiws first. But if the used game is about the same price as a new game you are better to go with new. hope this helps.

You do not need the first edition to play the second edition =) Both are 100% stand alone games.

I don't understand that - I just got this Scrabble game and a new laptop last November (2012), so it's not that old. Since I don't have the box that the game came in, is Encore the game manufacturer? If so, they probably have a newer version, but trust me the one that I bought from amazon works - I have a Dell laptop - not that it should make a difference.

I recommend purchasing the newer version. I own and love the old version and the new version has the option of adding a twist but you can just chose to play it the traditional way. The biggest reason I would recommend purchasing the new one if the words and people are more current and relevant to today.

I would say that, no, it isn't. Two reasons: 1) The price on this product has been steadily dropping for the past couple of months to move them out of inventory. 2) The 2nd edition box art is slightly different than what is pictured, here. On the new box art, there is an alien character wearing red in place of that blue guy in the lower right. While images are not right 100% of the time, I think in this case the image for the box art is not misleading and that this game is, in fact, the first edition.
