My copy is complete, and I've read through the adventure book to account for all the tokens/cards, but there are still a few things that concern me:

1) The 'holy water' card has a 'treasure' card back, but appears to be used like an 'adventure treasure' (one coffin token says to take the holy water card). Are you supposed to dig through the treasure deck during play to find it, or perhaps is was misprinted (ie. was supposed to have an 'adventure treasure' back)?

2) I can't figure out why there are 2 'wooden stake' adventure treasure cards. Perhaps one of them was supposed to have a 'treasure' back? Maybe the 'holy water' and 2nd 'wooden stake' card have their backs reversed (speculation only).

3) Howling hag (adventure 8) refers to 25 crypt tiles (they have skulls printed on them): 4 corners, arcane circle, 20 crypt tiles. However, I have 27 tiles with skulls on them. Another misprint, perhaps?

With this game's component issues, I'm just making sure my copy (though complete) doesn't have printing errors, or has the same printing errors as other copies of the game. Thanks in advance for any info!

I found some of the instructions not quite clear as well.

Also - they talk about 50 treasure cards in the component list. I have 45 treasure cards and 10 adventure treasure cards. I will have to do up a list of the cards that I do have.

This has already been addressed about a dozen times in other threads. They got it wrong in the book--the book says 50 treasure cards and 5 adventure treasures, but its really 45 treasure cards and 10 adventure treasures.

I may have to unsubscribe to this game...because of my inbox flooded with "-I have 45 treasure cards and 10 adventure treasures, but the books states 50 treasure cards and 5 adventure treasures..."

This is the craziest thing...sigh...

I have no tile sheet 13, so no strahd stats (i know i can download them) or no double size start tile and other bits.... great game, but as a production run, its a lottery...

I understand the complaints...I'd be pissed, too.

I just wish it could be consolidated into a thread or two. Having 50 different (and that would mean 45) threads on the topic...especially the same 1-2 general mishaps...is just bonkers!

absolutely - btw there is a poll for people who've had bits missing etc from the game, but misprinted manuals should indeed be a separate thing...

Has to be about the 5th time I have heard you say it.

We heard you the first time. I have had the same problems with FFG and Games Workshop. Guess what I do?

Post on a forum each time?

No!

I contact them directly and they send replacements.

Get a Clue!!!(and I am not talking the boardgame)

I am fairly certain you could have made the same point without being rude.

Can we please get back on the original topic.

I had the exact same questions. My copy also has two wooden stake adventure treasures and a single holy water treasure, so it looks like that may be correct. Still makes it kind of awkward to have to dig through the treasure deck to find the holy water though.
I didn't count the tiles with skulls, so don't know on that one.

Wizards really needs to come out with a card manifest.

Just make sure you only vote if you actually have missing components. That should help make the poll nice and statistically significant.

This would be an excellent addition to Gawain's unofficial FAQ. Perhaps we could help him out with this? I'll start typing up a list of cards... can someone else do monster tiles? Other bits?

My bad, it was actually 7 times before I said something. 7 times you told us you were missing the tile. That is not counting repeats in those threads either. Heck, I think I have even seen you over at Wizards complaining about it as well.

I'm looking forward to getting some clear answers.
In the meantime, I've also noticed there are 3 cards that are used in NONE of the adventures (Holy Symbol of Ravenkind, Sunsword and Tome of Strahd); does anyone know why?

Bonus adventures I think. If you download the bonus adventures from Wizards, they mention the Sunsword.

They are going to offer more in the future.

Can you confirm this? I have 10 adventure treasure cards, but 2 of them are wooden stakes (that have different collection numbers) and no holy water card with an adventure treasure back (my holy water has a regular treasure back).
Thanks for any info!

As was pointed out to me when I asked about verifying the cards, they are numbered 1 to 200 in the bottom-right corner.

I'm aware of the numbers, and my copy is complete; I'm concerned about possible misprints rather than missing pieces.
It might be time for some official answers or a full component list, including a full card name list, IMO.
