I bought this four days ago. As usual, I checked the geek when I saw Cambria on the shelf.
The reviews were helpful, and accurate -- except that they talk about bad component quality. One mentioned that the box was thin cardboard.
I was holding the box in my hand, and I could see that it was anything but. Bad info? A new printing? At $19.95 (yes, I pay full retail as a rule), I took the risk.
And I'm glad I did. A good game that's small on the shelf and on the table, plays 3-5 (and 2, with easily-run "ghost player"), and at that price point I'd call the production lavish. Wooden cubes and disks, a wooden pawn for the Legion, and a sturdy two-sided board.
They even put in additional cube of each color, and enough baggies for all the bits. That kind of thoughtful production gets loyalty from me that makes publishers think about filing restraining orders. 
With the new release, this is a game that deserves a lot more love.

Thanks for the good feedback about the components. The reviews you saw were of the old desktop published edition from 2008. Obviously the art and production values of the new edition are a lot better. Updates to those reviews would be welcome, so I appreciate your bringing it up.
