I am interesting in getting Catacombs, but it seems a new printing is coming up. Anyone know if this is going to be a new edition with changes or will it be the same as edition 2?

I don't believe the 2nd edition had any production errors like the first print run, so I don't see why any changes would need to be made.

There is however, a new expansion due this spring though. Looking forward to it for sure!

There is a difference in that the holes are either larger or the "bumper" discs are smaller.

Either way it's more difficult to make bank shots as the "bumper" discs move and there by absorbing the kinetic energy of any shots.

Anthony, do you mean that it's more difficult to make bank shots in the second edition as compared to the first or that they are making a change for the reprint?

No content changes between 2nd and 3rd printing. A couple of award icons were added to the back of the box in the lower right corner - that's the only difference. Have added this question to the FAQ on our site.

The latter. Your shot essentially stops dead as the "bumper" shifts in the hole.

I've compared pictures from the 1st edition to the 2nd on this thread.

@Aron, could you mind commenting on the size changes and what to expect in that regard for the 3rd edition?
