I'm commenting to hopefully help someone out. The new version of the game packages 3 decks of cards into 2 cellophane packs. I am not the only person who sent my box back, thinking the game was incomplete. There are at least 20 bad reviews on Amazon where people are saying they've bought more than one box and the game was incomplete. I'm sure people are thinking, "How could anyone think not to open the packs up?" Honestly, I am not sure why I didn't verify before sending box one back. It could be because it's implied there would be three cello packs when there are three slots and slot 2 has deck 2 and slot 3 has deck 3, and both packs are uniformly packaged (not being a fat cello pack and a skinny cello pack, making it seem more plausible that two decks are in one pack.)

When we have 2 cards left we use 1 and leave 1 in the shared area, what happens to those cards? Are they disposed or is there any further use for it?

Hey Rodney, had a question for a 3-player format. Thoroughly enjoyed the game but noticed when we got to the 3rd age, there was only 26 cards distributed between the 3 of us. Thought we were missing a card, but we counted the cards under the List of Cards section that had 3+ and it also added up to 26. Is this a manufacturing error? Or is one person supposed to be down a card every time?

Hi Ben, I am confident the video is correct, but I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, or are saying is the error.

That would be the opposite, and I'm pretty sure the video doesn't say that. Or are you saying something else? The last part of your comment seems to be asking if you can buy the resources from a player's starting board? If so, yep, you can! From the rules: Resources you can buy from your neighbors include: • The starting resource on their Wonder board; • Resources on their Brown cards; • Resources on their Grey cards. Hope that helps!
