Ever had any great games not hit the table because of poor components?
I got Terraforming Mars right after it was released and loved it. played a bunch solo, played some with friends - but absolutely HATED the player boards where you track your fairly complicated economy and wealth with cubes that slid all over the place. I eventually put away the game, and every time I thought about taking it out again, to teach new players, I'd stop before I started, knowing the player economy boards are so bad, they'd really turn off new players (especially my kids)
fast forward a few years, and I play the big box version of TM (beautiful) and I was absolutely blown away by the improved, double-thickness player boards. and you can buy just the boards, without having to spring for the big box (very nice, but too much for me). how had I missed this? I just ordered a set, and now my life feels complete, lol
