Just wondering if anyone had this issue:

Got my game and when we started looking at the cards, the colors aren't consistent. Basically, the yellows are not all the same shade and some of the browns are off enough along with the reds that the only real way to tell the difference in the type of card that you had was by the picture.

When I flipped over the card on the back, you can see the color differences there as well with the back, on some cases, being quite green in color.

Just wondering if I just got a deck that had some issues was all. I am enjoying the game but I am glad I don't have any sort of color blindness otherwise, without the pictures, there would be no way to tell the difference in some colors.

I only have a color issue with the starter cards. Especially the brown one is so off from the main brown cards that everyone playing always thinks it's a different color. The yellows are fine though.

My deck has some colour issues as well. I can clearly see colour differences in various cards.

I just played my first game with my wife. At a point she pointed at a blue card and asked if it was a different colour than another colour. To be sure we counted how many colours there are: 6.

Which led to our conclusion "I guess blue is blue". A bit later we spotted colour differences in brown cards as well.

My own experience with small independant print runs is that it's a lot harder to get printers to do their work perfectly right. Especially when the pricing needs to be competitive. (Remember this is a cheap game, if you consider the small print run)

It would have been nice if all the colours were exactly the same, but in my opinion the 6 colours in the game are different enough to not hinder gameplay, as long as you state brown = brown, green = green etc.
