Is this better than the newest 'deluxe edition'? I don't know which to buy or if there's much difference besides new art designs.

This game is more dependent on the moderator than anything else. The ultimate edition has a pretty extensive guide to help new moderators. However, I strongly believe that anyone can learn to moderate and do it well so long as they have seen enough games played or have been a part of them. It would be perfectly acceptable, in my mind, for you to get the most cost effect version for yourself so long as your group has a reliable, outgoing, and patient moderator. I hope this has been of some help to you. Happy hunting

This one has the urban legends expansion while the deluxe version has the wolf pack expansion. I personally prefer the urban legends cards. The art isn't truly that different either.

I am not sure if the newest deluxe edition is different or not. I do know the Ultimate Edition does included Urban Legends which is an additional expansion game. Our family has had a lot of fun with this game. You need at least five players, but the more players make it more exciting. We have made different decks for different amounts of people to play. So far we have had a great time with six to eight players. Hope this helps.

I believe the deluxe has a lot more individualized characters besides just a bunch of towns people. This one alone was tuns of fun. Every loves it in our group of gamers. If you like this also try Avalon.

I also already owned the game I am pretty sure it's just the expansion. To be honest collector edition of the game great, the expansion I would not purchase the collectors edition.

Ive played both versions and yes I definitely recommend buying the new one... Its a good addition to the old ones, plus a good updated list for the words they've kept which is good so young kids could relate to.

The differences are that the Collector's Edition doesn't come in a game case, like the Limited Edition, but unlike the standard. It is all one huge book. The art book is much bigger than the Limited Edition artbook. Has 40 pages where the LE artbook only has 24 and is smaller. The CE also comes with the soundtrack on blu ray and 5 lithographic art prints that are about the size of a sheet of paper.

The only difference is a few extra cards, it's just the newest version of the original. If you were thinking about getting a new fluxx game i would suggest getting one of the specialty games like pirate fluxx or Monty Python fluxx. That way you could play them separately or mix the decks together.

Go with the regular edition. Nothing really additional with the limited edition.

Have used both the basic and deluxe versions. I have found over the years that any of the deluxe versions of card s/w is worth every penny as there are more options as well as more cards. I literally created hundreds of cards per year, so options in design, wording, and creativity are appreciated greatly. As I said in my review of Hallmark's product, the upgrades with their many malfunctions are troublesome; but it the user can get past those problems, usage of the s/w is enjoyable.

I've only played two games. But I haven't made any additonal payment to play the games. That's why I bought the Deluxe Edition because I didn't know which game I was looking for. Treasures of Montezuma 3 I knew has more then one game by this name. I also don't buy games that I have to pay more money for. Besides I love these games they are how I take it down after work.

No, this is just the expansion pack. You could try looking for a bundle that includes both games. :)

I think you should be careful because it seems there's no such thing as a "deluxe edidion". I checked the webpage for Fantasy Flight Games and they make no mention of such a thing. Also the box art displayed here says nothing about it being a "deluxe" edition. Personally I'm passing on this one and getting the "regular" one.

From friends of mine who've had both (and also advised me to purchase this product. The number of upgrades are quite numerous and some of the best ones are subtle (like huge improvements to the interaction of strokes to emulate a real brush/pen feel for example.) From where I am sitting, I would say that it is very much worth the upgrade. In case you're still curious as to what all is actually different, here's a link to a list of what each version has. http://manga.smithmicro.com/comparison.html

The newer version is virtually identical to the old. It actually has more words (I think) because each card has 4 'Taboo' words. The only thing I didn't like about the new game were the card holders and the buzzer. The card holders are not separated, so that is inconvenient. The buzzer is no longer a buzzer, but rather it sounds like a dog toy when you squeeze it. So the game is the same, if not better. But the accessories are not what I would have liked. Hope this helps!

The EULA says you cannot use the Educational edition for commercial purposes, ie sell the art you make. So if you like doing this for hobby and projects for personal reasons, the Educational one is the way to go. If you're selling artwork like commissions and stuff, or a professional - get the retail version. There is really no difference in performance or limitations between the retail and educational edition. Educational edition has a splash page during launch telling you this is the Academic/Educational edition.

I recommend purchasing the newer version. I own and love the old version and the new version has the option of adding a twist but you can just chose to play it the traditional way. The biggest reason I would recommend purchasing the new one if the words and people are more current and relevant to today.

http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshopextended/ It says that it is two editions thus implying two different versions. Sorry that nobody replied to this. Kind of rude isn't it?

I think the Starter Edition was more simplified. It had just what required. The Deluxe has more categories than I needed. It will work on 8 I am sure. It should tell you requirements.

Yes, generally there is a noticeable difference between the 3rd and 4th editions of Catan in two ways: 1) The artwork is very different so your tiles will not look the same, depending on how much that matters to you. Personally, I'd rather have them match. 2) And this could present a more series problem. The 4th ed. of the base game has a different border which locks together. I know it doesn't work well with the 3rd ed. of the base game so I'm guessing you could have some problems here as well. It is a nice improvement to the game in that it holds things together nicely, but it does present compatibility problems with earlier editions. Hope this helps!
