Review: Quality Euro from a master - Carpe Diem is one of the best games from one of the best designers in "hobby gaming", Stefan Feld. They aren't kid's games but CD is accessible and plays in an hour after you've played a game or two. I rank it in the top four or five of my 100+ game collection for 2, 3 or 4 players. I usually play 2, with my wife. This isn't a heavy game by "Euro" standards but if you like it, it will present near infinite "replayability", it's just as good after 30 plays as it was on the first. There's a bit of interaction in the tile selection and goal selection and there are many paths to victory for players to investigate. CD is not a deeply themed game, it's a player's game and I love it. Issues: there are shades of green to differentiate so it's best played at a well lit table. The set-up and take-down will take a couple minutes, too. CD featured a lot of inch square tiles to sort, either before or after the game. No big deal but it does take a couple minutes to set up and a game to two to really "catch on" to the flow and strategies. It's worth it.
Review: Great Stefan Feld game - This is a thinky game with alot of choices and and interesting scoring mechanism. Youre building various sites, collecting goods and coins to put towards the end of each round. If you choose poorly, then your round wont be fruitful. The games graphics are dull and drab, which is actually the type I prefer. Gives the old world feel. However I had to return the newest version and replace it with this one because the colors were so similar that we were making alot of mistakes with the buildings. The older version is much clearer and easier to differentiate the tiles. 100% recommend this game.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this the same version (1st printing) as in the picture, with the star drawn? For the second print run, they did away with the star.**
A: The one I received was the first edition with the star. However, I ordered it in December of last year.

**Q: How should I know if it is the newer edition?**
A: I ordered a few months back and it was the older version.  However, I did not find the colors a problem.  It was obvious to me....but understand how it could be a problem if one is color blind or has poor vision. This is one of my favorite games!

**Q: wish we could tell what print run this is? The first print run is bad.**
A: I believe mine is the first

**Q: It's currently April 2023. Which edition is for sale in this listing: the 1st or 2nd? (I'm fairly certain it's not the 3rd.)**
A: This is the second edition. It doesn't have the "star" movement track on the tile selection rondelle. This version has the rules change where your pawn will move to the next selection space directly clockwise or counterclockwise. It doesn't really change how the game is played.
