Got my copy of the game today from Boardhaus and I must admit the quality of this game is not on par with what I'm used to buying nor was Boardhaus' care for shipping. First of all the game I received was damaged on the inside and the back covering on the board is torn. In addition, the game was obviously tossed around like a football and due to Boardhaus's poor packaging (they threw it in a larger empty box with NO PACKAGING) most of the chits had already been punched-out of the cardboard. Because Boardhaus did not properly secure the game in a box with peanuts, bubblewrap or anything for that matter, I received a game, gameboard and a box that looks like it's been stepped on and used like a coaster. Definitely won't be buying from Boardhaus or eggertspiele again. Hope the game plays better than the jacked up copy I received.

EDIT: One thing I will be doing is laminating the player boards because those are by far the worst offenders (or one could argue the money).

Not sure how eggertspiele is to blame, my copies arrived just fine. Although I bought from a BGG user and not boardgamehaus(I'm assuming you misspelled the name). A few tiles fell out of the punchboard on their own, but I considered that a good thing. The more complete the die cut, the less likely to tear the tile.

I was happy with the components in terms of quality and love the game. One of my favorites from 2010.

No problem with mine, although it was me who did the packing, to bring it back from Essen!

Sorry to hear that. Ludofact and Ludopackt take great proud and care in producing games and in securing and packaging games leaving their plant.
