I heard that there was a revised rulebook put out by the original publisher of this. Does anyone know if the FFG version has this updated rulebook?

It doesn't seem like it... It took me a long whole to figure out that the "Ducal Jubilee" card was the "Game Over" card...

It's posted on the Board Game Geek page though.

I really don't understand why they didn't seem to have the updated rules.

Thanks for the info. I just picked this up, but got the AEG version as they didn't have the FFG version. I read the new rules online and feel I have a good grasp on them.
