How is this game different from the one with the same title that is #1 in travel games? look like the other is just a red box no board?

It appears the "box version" is a drinking game. The travel game is a card game to be played in a vehicle.

This does not match the original version of the game. The original did not have borders, this version does so it doesn't fit right and the pictures on the tiles are different too. This also will not work with the board you can buy to fit the pieces in.

No, this is just the game. The one you hide is in a box with a book. Have fun!

You have to make sure you get the "Deluxe" edition to have the raised board. I love the bigger board with twice as many tiles and bigger bonus options. It takes longer to play the game, but once you've tried this edition, you won't go back to the old board.

This looks like one of the other country versions. This game is available in English, as well as a few other languages i believe.

I don't see anything other than the box size different. If you look how the pieces are stacked in the box, you will see what I mean. Both have 10 puzzle boards (5 - 2 sided boards). The less expensive one will do just fine, that's what we have for our daughter and she loves it. My daughter absolutely loves puzzles though, so I don't know if my opinion will help when talking about puzzles! We have puzzles (panorama) that adults can't do and she does them....If your child likes puzzles, your child will enjoy this one!

It is actually a physical board like the original Scrabble just in travel size. You could play against yourself by turning the board each turn :). Otherwise if you want interactive this is not a one person game, you would have to go online and play electronically.

Amazon asked me to answer your question and I don't know why. I was not selling a Sorry game. I bought one for my Grandson. If you're asking is it the same game as the original, it is. However, the graphics on the front are different and the game pieces and board seemed roughly the same as well.

no differences in gameplay. just the design. it's an update from the company. that's all. the first edition will be some sort of an collector's edition now since it's out of print.

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.

If you enjoyed FI then you will be very happy with FD. They both play differently. FD has more moving parts, is more challenging and feels like a natural step up from FI. Here's a link that might helphttp://boardgamegeek.com/thread/973899/comparing-forbidden-desert-forbidden-island

I only played the original game once loved it but wanted the bigger board. In the Jumbo version the chips I think are bigger as the board is huge the colors are Blue, Red and Green. Hope that helps.

I'm not sure what the policy is regarding opened board games. If you opened it though, the language wouldn't really matter. You would be returning it because you didn't enjoy the gameplay. The game itself is language independent. There are only numbers and one symbol on the dice, and simple symbols on the cards. The characters have no special abilities whatsoever. The only reason you would reference the rulebook would be if you wanted to play a 2 player version of this game. If there are only two players, I highly recommend you play a different game. The symbols include arrows, food, coins, and cannons. I may be missing one or two. The only text on the board that I can recall is Port Royal, which is the starting position. This is a great game and I highly recommend it. If you open it and the rules are in french, watch a youtube video tutorial. Except for very rare technicalities, once you play through it once you'll never need the rulebook again.

This is the second edition, with the two new roles. The board I got has the connecting line between São Paulo and Lagos. If yours does not, Z-Man Games will replace it. The price keeps fluctuating, but the list price is $39.99.

It appears to be an updated version. It's a nice game, but not the original that we played when we were kids. It does look very similar,however.

Well i will say it is the version they say it is. it just isnt the one in the picture. cover art is different you get all the old tokens and uncles money bag the cards are like the old ones if that answers your question and the board is not the regular bifold its like in quaters. but still same monopoly fun and its great if u need replacement parts for an older 80's/90's version.

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!
