This example appears identical to the one above except that the acknowledgements page is printed in black. Other examples have been spotted with the black acknowledgements page with the errata sheet folded and placed loosely within the book. It is unknown which version was produced first.

I've looked at four different copies of this game and it appears that earliest print would have blue lettering on the acknowledgements page and a light brown hex map with no printer lines on it. In all of the other examples the hex map, whether dark brown or black, has earmarks of being a later copy (dots, lines, etc).
