In Spain the decks were called: deck of Pepe and deck of Pepa! Memories…

[@petespacks]

@WalkandRideAdventure That's Awesome!!! I still need to track down the gift box version of it.

In Spain on holiday I bought my first premade deck it was 8th edition (2003) and he had English stock and Spanish stock it was interesting?? Did you guy's play the English version or was it because the hobby shop was near alot of holiday homes for tourists?? Always found it strange how he had stock in both languages (it was Alicante)

[@petespacks]

I've usually played in English, but I mostly played in the USA.

The only thing different about fourth edition and the European fourth edition is the font size at the bottom being small and the 1996 date. I don’t see any differences in the frames or the boxes.

[@petespacks]

I'll have to put them side by side, but I believe that they widened the text box slightly for the 96 printing of Fourth Edition to match the text box size of the Korean and Simplified Chinese printings.
