- Well, I checked it out, and all it includes is a Map.(darn nifty one too)
- Apparrently Xeno was planning on it all the time.(or someone just thought it
- up one day while drawing on the game-board) They just released the first
- version to test and see whether making all those maps was a good idea(color
- printing isn't cheap) Its full color, not quite as much detail as the original
- but it has all the territories color-coded to the power that starts with it.
- (like all those French, Spanish,Portugese, and Chinese territories)
-
- The map is also sold seperately for those who bought the first version(without
- the map) Otherwise I'm pretty sure they are identical (the rules) Hmm, I
- believe I got the First edition for $6, the Map for $11, and I think the
- Deluxe edition was $15.
-
- Hope this helps
