Well today I got my new game, a factory sealed copy of the 2001 AH game History of the World, something that I had been searching for. So after getting off work and rushing to the post office I was able to get the box, I was so happy to finally get a copy of this game but nothing could have prepared me for the biggest let down that I have ever had in my history with board gaming.

No empire cards...yeah...not a one, oh I have an extra set of minor event cards but no empire cards.

So of course the first thing I think of is that I can just talk to the publisher and see what they can do, but no, this is an 11 year old game and, from what I have read in the forums for this game, there are no spare parts from them. Game's to old, no parts left, bah! (interesting to note that I appear to be one in a small group that has had this problem).

So now what does one do? I have looked at the list of people that have parts from my version and it appears that I am out of luck.

And I really wanted to play it too...soblue

Bummer upon bummers - I weep for you and your game.

Any chance to get owners to post the contents of the cards (or email them to you)? IN this way, you can produce some proxies. It doesn't take away the sting of having an incomplete game - but it will be playable.

Best of luck.
