I've been hunting for this for a long time, and I'm going to get a lot of enjoyment out of it. Many thanks to Tom S - auttiecat on TMP - who hooked me up.
Hi Jonathan, thanks for dropping by, and for being so complimentary.
I got the first edition because I haven't been able to find the second edition yet, and I reckon I'll be able to make it work well enough. I have a few other games in the series I can borrow pieces from as needed, and I know the rules reasonably well (he says hopefully!).
Regarding your son, I guess you'll be pleased to have him back! I hope he's had a great time and didn't get caught up in the Tohoku earthquake at all.
RE: TatC comes up on eBay and Consimworld marketplace quite frequently. BGG is a good place to find copies too.
RE: Tohoku earthquake. Yes, he did get caught in the earthquake. He teaches in Hitachi, Iberaki and that city did suffer damages, power outages, supply disruptions, etc. and of course a proximity to Fukushima. He made it through the ordeal and will soon be off for grad school.
That's a great game. Why did you choose the first edition rather than the revised second edition?
ReplyDeleteI have been enjoying your blog.
As an aside my youngest son is finishing a three year stint teaching English in Japan. He is returning to the states in August.
