Reprint date?
Does anyone know when this game will be available again?

The only thing I've seen is late summer, and obviously its already later than late summer!

Any info would be appreciated! Thanks!

Re:Reprint date?
This is a Mayfair reprint, right? Did they say late summer of which year?

i'd look for it used were i you. has become our favorite game after seeming a bit confusing or dry at first. the only game which has led to a regular weekly session.

the german graphics are better -- i'd buy a german version if i were doing it again.

I emailed Mayfair about this and they said that they would be back to full stock by December and possibly sooner. They said that they are waiting on a shipment of wood from their supplier.

Stateside, it's back in print in limited quantities. Mayfair has "a few" in stock, and is expecting the full reprint done by the end of the month.

Getting my hands on one here soon :-)

Is this just a reprint or will they be fixing the board to make clear which are and which are not river tiles?

I imagine just a reprint, but am crossing my fingers.

Is this really such a problem? Having taught well over a dozen different people how to play the game I've never once had someone mistaken that space as a river tile.

Unfortunately, I've only ever played the game in cyberspace. Looking forward to my first experience with the genuine wood-and-cardboard article, so even when I get the game next Wednesday, I won't be able to say if the problem has been fixed.

Having taught myself T&E, we all assumed that it _was_ a river tile until I played it here on BGG and learned better.

I emailed Mayfair this week about Tigris & Anno 1503 & they wrote:
"Anno 1503 will be announced when the contracts are completed and the product has finished pre-press prep and the print windows are set in stone.
Tigris should return to stock in mid-January, it was delayed by a printer error."

I talked to Mayfair a few days ago. Apparently the new production run had a defect ... the tiles did not fit the board! Its supposed to be yet another couple of weeks until the new print is available .. and yes, they did change the board/tiles, though I am not certain how.

I actually have this new version with a defect map. Mayfair has promised to send new boards as replacements, but I wonder how long it will take?

Do you mean that you have the old board (with the "defective map" including the ambiguous non-river space" or that the map was defective because its too small for the tiles in the new set? Are you able to comment on any differences in the artwork ON the tiles?

Dunno, but see the pictures I took of the board and tiles yourself =)

Ups, the second url I posted points to a former BGG picture, but the other ones are from my copy.

It appears that the tributary was fixed, thought I don't know that I care for all the extra "noise" drawn into the board.

Ick. This is ridiculous - I've been waiting for the Mayfair reissue because I prefer their design to the German version, and then they go and make a board that's even worse. :(

I dunno. That looks pretty much like the old Mayfair Tigris board, (sans the tributary). Pretty much the reason I prefer the German version...

Your dissent inspired me to break out my copy and compare. Seems you're right. Two things can be learned from this: the board looks even more gaudy in .jpg format and I haven't played E&T in too long.

Ick. It looks like Sasquatch wiped his ass on that board. Is it really that hard to design simple, nice looking graphics? All the fluff just makes it look like garbage.

I like the game enough that I want to buy it anyways, but it sure makes me less excited about it.

They replaced the wooden leaders with cardboard tiles?
