Question 1

Are the rules and cards in English or German? I see the entire description is in English, but the pictured cover of the box is in German.

Accepted Answer

My copy is completely in English. The rules are actually very clear as well.

Question 2

Agricola vs Caverna if money were no object, which would you choose and why?

Accepted Answer

Agricola. Go to boardgamegeek, look up the game, click on ratings, look at around the 4-3 level.This is an almost 100 percent open info game, very little setup change, all tiles aka cards in Agricola are available from the get go, first come pickings. Feeding the dwarfs is too easy, rubies act as a wild currency to trade for anything and everything. The game has two many catch up mechanisms, as I recall you can trade in food I think to take what would be a blocked action in Agricola. Agricola is a game, one that beats you up, Caverna is a church activity for kids.You quick discover you just are play the same game over and over, 1 player is a joke, anything over 4 players a long down time drag, 4 being the sweet spot.PS, one should now ask the Fanboys of this game how often did it hit or is now hitting the table. One well known video reviewer took back his glowing review of it, traded it away because it just did not wear well.

Question 3

Is this the first or second version?

Accepted Answer

The way to tell is check the back of the box for price.In the U.S. the first edition is $89.98 then Mayfair Games jacked up the price to $98.89 on reprints to the U.S. The price is printed on the bottom back left of the box. Mayfair purchased controlling interest in Outlook games, the publisher, while the first edition was already printed. Other then an artificial jacked up in price, I believe they are the same except the box price on the box. Google "Floor Pricing" " Mayfair Games price fixing" if you are interested why this game cost so much more over the rest of the hobby. The first edition can be sold cheaper then prints after it. Mayfair Games Floor Prices, aka they tightly limit the discount to a very small amount at the retail end, it is based on the printed MSRP on the box.So, there are two version, the second an upgrade to the price and change in price printed on box. :)

Question 4

Is picture shown the actual cover of the box received?

Accepted Answer

Yep that's the box. The picture wraps around the left side of the box as well
