Great update of an old classic

As noted in the title, this is an update of Bob Scott's classic book on Lacrosse technique and coaching from the 1970's.  Coach Pietramala has provided the best of both worlds in this edition.  He has retained much of the old school, tried and true techniques and instruction from Coach Scott's original, while adding new techniques and strategies from the last thirty (!) years.  I have played the game for 35 years and coached for six, and I have referenced the original edition countless times.  Having Coach Pietramala's updates and observations included make this an invaluable reference and a must-have in any Lacrosse coaches library.  It's also a great history of the legendary Johns Hopkins program for any fan of the sport.

This is a great update of the original rules, expanded both for Episode II, and also for all the suggestions Wizards of the Coast received for revamping the game.  One minor odd thing is that some of the character and creature descriptions differ slightly from the ones in other sources, like the DK Visual Dictionaries.  But all in all worth the investment if you enjoy the game.

This is a great remake. I remember the original and it could have used a bit of touching up. Now, this game is not better than Final fantasy 15, which I must say is in my top 3 final fantasies, if not the best. This is a nice trip down memory lane and all the changes they made are pretty amazing. I love the class customization thing as I'm the person who spends a long time planning out what I want my party to look like, I feel like I made an amazing party. Anyway, the game is great, the graphics update is really good (not quite ff15 level, but still good), and all the overall polish to the gameplay is welcome.

AD&D has changed a great deal since WOTC acquired it from TSR. For myself, First Edition AD&D needed no revamping.

This book is a classic. While new players are being sold 4th or 5th edition, us old school folk (read: old people) will not be assimilated. For us, Amazon fulfillers are a godsend, such as the seller who sold me this timeless edition, complete with hand written, personalized thank you note =). Thanks Amy! I'll look to you for future purchases and replacement copies of the ONLY edition of AD&D worth playing!

Newer version of an awesome old game.  My husband played this game with his Mom when he was a child and now she's playing it with our 7 year old Daughter and us.

I was a great fan of the original edition of this book and this new revised edition is just as good. The story moves along at a good pace. The characters are well thought out and and as always the humour is spot on. It's another great addition to the Platoon F series and as always I'm looking forward to the next instalment.

This is an update that has been long awaited. Many new features await the purchasers of this book. Included among them are:

* Larger typeface
* Updated entries for time-sensitive clues (Oscars, Tonys, Nobel Prizes, etc.)
* Free annual updates available by email (registration required)
* Easy-find tabs on the page edges
* Plus, the quantity and quality of entries that made the original Million Word Dictionary my go-to source for the morning crossword

So, by now you're probably wondering, "Why only four stars, it sounds great?" The problem is with those easy-find tabs. Through the entire letter "H" the tabs on the even pages are all the same. I have contacted the author about this issue, but have yet to receive even an acknowledgement of the priting error. Even with the priting glitch, still a very worthwhile purchase for die hard crossword fans.

Very nice book - I have wanted to read some of the old classics and I am enjoying this one very much.

I love this bok. It's not exactly up to date since the book is well from before 2010 and the game has since been crazy awesome.
 but it's a good nostalgic book for anyone who played the classic version of the game before HD graphics.

The update to this good is great. I am a Master Gardener in GA and the older version was my go to resource. I love the idea of the DVD put not the idea that you have to download an app to use it.

This is an excellent re-implementation of 7 Wonders for two players. It retains all of the elegance of the original, while adding some new mechanics to balance the game for two players and add some interesting decision points. If you're familiar with the original 7 Wonders, it's very quick to learn and plays in about 30 minutes. (If you're not familiar with 7 Wonders, you may want to pick that up first, though it plays best with 3-7 players.) 7 Wonders has a two-player variant that was pretty decent, but a little clunky in that it used a third "neutral" player. This solves all of the problems of the two-player version of the original. There is no drafting anymore. Instead there is a card tableau, where cards on top are available and some of the cards are hidden. Now you have to consider not only which cards are best for you and your opponent, but you also must consider what cards you are giving them access to when you choose your card. You can peruse a scientific victory or a military victory (which happen as soon as certain goals are met), or go for the most points at the end of the game. The game so far seems very well balanced, strategic, quick, and fun. Everything I look for in a two-player game.

I bought this version as an update to a very old version that I had been using. Being familiar with the program helped, but the updates are good. I like the help menu. This version is a little more user friendly than the last and much faster. The graphics are easier on the eyes too.

I really love the new 4E cosmology, much more than the previous editions. It is so much better organized and more creative than the old messy Great Wheel. Reading through it gives me that 12 year old giddy fascination that got me into D&D in the first place... A must have for fans of 4th Edition.

This expansion is great and I would recommend it if you like the original game:

Firstly it comes with another set of Meeples (gray) so a 6th person can play. It also has 18 more playable tiles. While the set does not change basic game play and does not alter the flow of the game, this set also adds two new ways to score (6 Inn and 2 Cathedral tiles). It also adds a large Meeple that counts as two normal sized Meeples. This makes it easier to win contested fields or roads and encourages strategy changes as those pieces are played. These expansion tiles are also marked with a the small outline of a Meeple on the front of the card, making it easy when separating the sets for storage after the game.

the only issues we had:

The backs of the tiles in this expansion are a slightly different color (a slightly darker gray) than the Z-man version of the original game, while the fronts of the tiles are also slightly more vibrant than the original Carcassonne set, it doesn't ruin the game in anyway but it is an odd aesthetic choice for the new publisher of this game. I understand they want them to be marked so you can add or remove expansions easily, but when the backs are face up to be drawn I've noticed people drawing more of the original tile set and leaving the expansion to the end. I would recommend a bag or something else of that nature to place the tiles in to keep people from actively or subconsciously picking based on the colors of the backs. Just as an end note, while the tile backs don't match completely the new Meeples in this set match perfectly with the original set.

I've read my original copy of Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill so many times, the binding is literally falling apart. Why do I keep going back and reading it again and again? I quickly realized that every time I read it, I come away with some new "aha" about myself and about my ability to achieve greater financial success.

Needing a new copy, although I'm keeping my old one for sentimental reasons, I picked Think and Grow Rich: The Landmark Bestseller - Revised and Updated for the 21st Century. It was revised and expanded by Dr. Arthur R. Pell.

If you've read the original version, you know it is filled with outdated words and phrases. This edition by Dr. Pell was published in 2005 and is updated with modern language and less sexist language. I found it much easier to stay focused on Napoleon Hills' principles and concepts because the outdated language wasn't distracting me.

I applaud Dr. Pell for updating this classic book without changing the essence of Napoleon Hills' powerful and timeless message. This is definitely a good read!

Our family loves game night so I was pretty excited when chosen to host a Hasbro Game night.  One of the games in my party pack was Sorry and to be quite honest with you I didn't really take the time to read thru the instructions before the night of our party so I had no idea this was an updated version.  While I love the classics I also love when they put a new spin on an old favorite and that's what Hasbro has done and in the process they renewed my love of my old favorite, Sorry.  It's not that difficult to figure out the new game play and everyone really loved the new aspects of the game, especially the Fire & Ice Power Ups. Just make sure you take your time and read thru all the rules before beginning, it's not rocket science but it is different from the Sorry you had as a child, but just as fun.

Love the new Plus Points totals on these older, classic recipes. Highly recommended hard copy with excellent recipe choices for losing on WW.
