Starting Chess: 1

Q: Whats this game like with just 2 people?

Great! My 13 yr old son and I play this regularly, working together to try not to get wiped out.

Q: Has anyone ordered this and received a fake ?

Yes! We got a fake copy of this and played it without realising. there was definitely really obvious issues with it and had I known about counterfeit board games at the time I would have spotted it easily. the main thing is the disease cubes are square with sharp corners rather than rounded, the box has a very heavy texture to it and the colouring is a bit off, the bottle tokens have damaged texture on the underside and the printing is off Centre etc etc. Complaining to Amazon and I'm also reporting it to Trading Standards

Q: hi so is this the uk edition or not? looking at other questions it appears you sell both uk and German.

BEWARE! I got the German version Feb 2017. Said they only do German, had to return for refund. Why don't they state its German or have picture etc in German language. Complete pain as wanted for birthday present now have to return and await a refund.

Q: I have the 2013 version of pandemic, is this expansion the updated version or 2009 original manufacturing? also will i get an english version?

This is the current version of the expansion, for the 2013 edition of Pandemic. All our stock is English. Enjoy!
