Want to buy - put off by errata

By MisterMT, in Mansions of Madness

I am very tempted to buy this game, but have seen numerous reviews complain at a large number of errata, misprints etc etc

I am not too keen on using and printing out long errata lists.

Are there any plans to put out a corrected version of the game soon?

Thanks!

Current FAQ is mere two pages, it's nothing compared to War of the Ring or Arkham Horror.

If long erratas aren't for you, I would suggest staying clear of pretty much all FFG products.

Well I got the reprinted cards in my box to replace the wrong worded ones...

Was only about 7 or so cards but anyway...

There are seven others, though.

So... I am a little confused. The box contains reprinted corrected cards?

Is this in later versions of the game?

I see the two page errata - while I imagine it is not as long as some erratas, it does seem some of the changes are fundamental, and I just know that errata list will somehow get lost - and people will get confused.

Basically, I was wondering if there were any plans to issue corrected cards etc whatever it is, to replace the bogus ones.

Thanks!

There were seven cards that were identified as needing errata before publication. The game came with replacements for these seven cards from the beginning. However, after publication seven more cards were identified as needing errata. There are currently no plans to replace these cards (though you can download a file from BGG that contains the replacements).

aha - OK... where is this file?

TY!

Thank you sir.

They are very nicely done.

What do people do - print them and stick them over the original card?

I also saw in one of the threads here that they were reprinting.

Are they likely to reprint with corrected cards? It may be worth waiting for me...

It's unlikely.

There already are a couple of reprinted cards. Additional errata on cards are minor - the major "bugs" are in the rulebook, and those can be fixed by putting a small sheet of paper inside to remind you, should you stumble upon an affected rule.

If you want your rulebook perfect, you'll either print corrected cards and rulebooks out yourself and use sleeves, or wait for a complete re-release (unlikely), a pack of corrected cards in the first expansion (somehow more likely than the re-release, yet still not very likely) or never buy the game.

Really, it's not like the complete system is broken.
