Hi, is this the revised version of the game?

I could be wrong, but it's my understanding that AH is the "vanilla" version, and the "revised" versions are Eldritch horror and Elder Sign, as they are games with the same premise but more streamlined gameplay (takes less time, fewer pieces, etc.). ES is, from what i've heard, by far the shortest and simplest, and mostly comes down to rolling a bunch of dice, whereas EH is considered to be the "lite" version of AH.Hope that helps?

The copy I purchased in December 2014 says revised printing and the copyright says 2005.

Yes it is and there is a vast array of modules that you can use to further your game.

You need the original game, unfortunately. Sorry for my late response, this one got lost in the mail.

They're right, it is deceptive advertising. The one they send you is actually the newer version of the game, no the one you see pictured here. The prompts on the card are situated differently. As far as it being "worse", that is the personal preference of those who said that. When I got mine, I was disappointed that it wasn't the older version pictured here. But I looked through it; it isn't terrible or anything. It is just fine. The terms are updated for our digital age, but I don't find anything inherently wrong with it.

Yes and no. They're different versions of the same exact game. They each have some minor, version exclusive content that the other game does not. This is to encourage player interaction and sharing. But you are not missing out on anything if you get one version and not the other.

This is not the 4th edition. The one I received was the first edition from the original Kickstarter campaign. I still had to purchase the factions pack 1 and the upgraded plastic components. (The plastic domes, rocket VP trackers, and the three plastic components for the repulsor field, isolation field and the positron field) However, there is a new kickstarter campaign that includes the new 4th edition with the new Rocket dice. You might want to check that out! Hope this is helpful. I really do enjoy this game. Simply a fantastic system and enjoyed by all whom ever I teach it to.

I have never played the original version. I would bet that they are all new.

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

It's an entirely new game. Better in some ways. They haven't released expansions for this one yet.

The second edition is a full game with an updated rules set. It does not require the first edition.

Yes it was the latest version. The only thing I have to complain about is the display stand. It's a piece of craps that barely holds up the ship. Other than that I was very happy

Hi,It appears to be an expansion game. You may not understand the game story without the original. I will buy the new game and use it as an expansion. Do not wait. This is a wonderful game! Hope this helps you.

Be very cautious. I thought I was buying the original and got the new game. I complained to the vendor(PJ Books, I believe). Said they'd find me the original and send it. It was very used. More used than my game(I was buying it for a member of my family). What a mess

Yes. I wondered why you asked that so I looked up the listing. No idea why the one image shows those plain playing pieces. Must have been an older version. It's a very fun game. Good for learning strategy.

Ive played both versions and yes I definitely recommend buying the new one... Its a good addition to the old ones, plus a good updated list for the words they've kept which is good so young kids could relate to.

Revised is the reprint with full color art. Apparently the old version didn't have full color. Also may have some rules changes.Source: http://www.sjgames.com/general/press_releases/100514.html
