Are the colors in the 4 player game the same as the party pack? Can you be sure you wont be duplicated?

Every thing I have seen says that the colors of the dice are randomly selected so there are no promises. I will tell you that the party pack I got has the exact colors that the one pictured has in it.

I don't own the 4-player pack but they do make sure you have all different sets of dice. You can't play otherwise, though I have to say some color combos are easier to play with than others. I think they'd have been better just to put white or black dots on colored dice than to put some of the combinations together that we have on our set!

Don't know, we ended up having fewer people than expected and only needed to open the 12-player box. But I strongly suspect they overlap. In the 12 there were two packages of cards, one of which was marked "extra" or "bonus" or something like that, so I'm guessing the other, bigger pack is common to the 8 and the 12. We bought the second game so we would have enough of the pads for everyone.

I believe they are all unique. Opened 1 of the 2 packs (each has 50) played a cover all game and only had 1 winner. The only thing I can think of, if you have more than the 100 card set there may be an issue of duplicates. I think they are a great card set, I'm sure they will be around for a long time. Hope that helps

The ones I received were only blue or red packs. I think it was an equal amount with 6 red and 6 blue. Hope that answers your qeustion.

Yes, it is compatibility, but not exactly. Only the backing of 6 optional cards will look different from the original game. You can buy card sleeves for your cards that costs like $1 or $2 and that would solve the problem. But if you don't care about the back of the cards, then it won't matter at all.

Sort of, you still have a big probability of getting duplicates even on one pack, its all random

No, there will most likely be duplicates- especially for the energy cards. If anything, expect duplicates and then you may be plesently surprised with the random deck you order. In fact a student told me that if you are looking for a deck to play a real game- you are better off buying the smaller packs or trading cards- I don't care about the game in general, so the more cards the better worked for me.

Yes, generally there is a noticeable difference between the 3rd and 4th editions of Catan in two ways: 1) The artwork is very different so your tiles will not look the same, depending on how much that matters to you. Personally, I'd rather have them match. 2) And this could present a more series problem. The 4th ed. of the base game has a different border which locks together. I know it doesn't work well with the 3rd ed. of the base game so I'm guessing you could have some problems here as well. It is a nice improvement to the game in that it holds things together nicely, but it does present compatibility problems with earlier editions. Hope this helps!

We play this game with 3 players, as well as 2 players. There isn't any difference - just use the 3 player rules and instructions.

Have not looked at all the cards & it has been awhile since I played the To Go version but want to say that yes the cards are different. I cannot say with 100% certainty because I did not line the games up next to each other, there may be duplicates I have not seen on plays yet.

Absolutely YES!I played it with my friend for over half a year. We did not change any game rule. We just played it in 3 VS 3 mode, chose 3 Houses by random at the beginning of the game. It's funny and the balance is good.The difference between 2 players and 3-6 players is the time on thinking. For the reson that you should make plans for 3 Houses all by oneself, so 2 players game will be much longer than 3-6 players.

Good question- I've had some games with that problem, but this one has quite a few cards and has an extension pack you can buy. I play with the same group each time and we have not had much trouble with this.

There were a couple of duplicates, but I'm not sure if they send the same colors to everyone every time.

I bought all of mine at the same time although that meant several packages. For mine, they are all the same color. I can't see any variation at all.

Sorry, Christine, but I've only seen this white box. The questions and answers for the black box indicates the black box is the same game but with different cards. You could order both sets and play them together to form one huge game or separately.

We can only guarantee that the cards in each pack will be different from each other, the same may not be said for multiple packs. You would have to manually check to see if there are duplicates, unfortunately.
