I guess I’ll by the 2009 version - thanks for the advice!

One last question - do you see any problems for applying the individual victory rules in the 2004 version to the 2009 version? I think it puts a really interesting spin on the game and it’ll help me introduce the game to my Risk and Catan-playing friends.
Thanks.

Hi Krieghund,
Thanks for the information. In your opinion, which version (Revised 2004 or Aug. 2009) would be better for new players? I’ve heard mixed reviews about both versions. The individual victory condition is important to us, but I guess we can just add that part if we get the 2009 version.
Thanks again!

I can’t seem to find a pdf of the Aug. 2009 version rules anywhere. Does anyone know if the 2009 version has the national advantages (special abilities for each nation) or the individual victory condition (to determine one winner as opposed to a team winning) of the 2004 version? Thanks.
