The rulesbook measures 26.6cm x 21.5cm and the painting guide measures 26.6cm x 21.6cm. The Casket Area in the Sorcerer's cave is marked.

I do not know if this example was an independently sold product or vended with the boxed set #3100.

When comparing available components, this appears to be an earlier printing than above. The rulesbook measures 27.2cm x 21.6cm and the painting guide measures 28.1cm x 21.7cm. The position of the print is different from front to back. The Casket Area in the Sorcerer's Crypt is unmarked.

It is still unknown whether or not the first sample was issued as a game only.
