What color are the card backs? I only want to buy if the current shipping version has the orange design that matches the copy of the expansion I own.

They are a mix between orange red and a little yellow. They look like this http://www.monkeyswithfire.com/content/images/thumbs/0000560_jungle-speed.jpeg

I just received my copy. This is definitely the reprint as described by the Game Geeks website: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/611359/so-youre-wondering-about-the-reprint-of-railways-oHowever, even though I have the new Baron cards and Mexico Operations cards (from the reprint), I still received the pastel colored trains. Apparently, Eagle Games simply used up whatever they had left. It does explicitly state on the back of the box that the colors may vary from what is pictured.

This is just for the card shown. It originally came in a tin (retail package) of cards.

Yes. If I recall correctly, the number of the expansion (e.g. first expansion = 1) is displayed on the front of the card to identify it, but not on the back so as to allow interchangeability without cluing that the cards are different.

Thanks for tipping me off that Hasbro now markets Cariboo! I was searching all over for it around Christmas time and couldn't figure out what had happened to it. It looks as if Hasbro has Hullaballoo, too, which I understand is now better (level/speed adjustable) than when I bought one a couple years ago. On the amazon reviews here some people complain about the durability of the Cariboo Hasbro cards, so maybe that's the kind of difference we would see between the two sets.

I gifted to hubby. You will get an email with a set of codes for each expansion. I believe hubby went to play station store and had an option to redeem codes. You will get instructions on redeeming with your email. If you wanna package it cute, u can always write the codes down on a nice card :) I was too impatient lol just gave him the code off my phone.

The original game has the instructions and the majority of the cards. Buy expansions later on.

Different, only the promo cards are the same. The cards from the packs are different.

I have them. To me, the card is more of an off white with the writing and border a glossy embossed ivory. I think they look classy and will be using them for a while.

One side is blue and the other side is clear. There is a small, round, holographic Ultra-Pro sticker on the lower edge/corner of the clear side. Depending on the game, the sticker might block some info on the card but I didn't have that problem with my game's cards.

My friend bought two. None of the cards in the two packs were the same, but I can't certain it will be the same for everyone.

Hi William S. - We rec'd a sealed WTG product from this seller as expected when we ordered it. I don't understand why the search image shows the generic box and cards. But you can punish the seller for that as the box is available for less via other sellers. For us, there were no problems. Good Luck!

You get a few different black cards, a bunch of different white cards and some blank cards to create your own. There really isn't a theme to each expansion, just different white and black cards. Once you play through the original game, the expansions add a little more spice to the game as it gets repetitive without the expansions.

Expansions are all based on the original game. For instance, the expansion does not come with the game board, nor some of the original characters

On the back of my game it says you can get a box of additional cards anywhere toys and games are sold. Not sure how easy that will be though because I had trouble finding the game. Toys R Us and Barnes and Noble didn't have the game when I was looking for it but found it at Amazon. Haven't looked for the additional cards yet as the game has lots of cards and 7 questions on each card.

You could potentially get away with buying the expansions. I would buy the base deck for more options though. I have the base, plus two expansions, and want to buy more.

The cards come in a small black box that open like a deck of playing cards. There's definitely not enough room in the base game box to fit everything so you'll have to lug all the expansions separate.
