No boxes were physically harmed in the making of this comparison.

You’ll find that all pictures on this site are pictures of actual boxes in our collection. We believe we have every version of the Traders & Builders expansion in the Second Edition in the German language. If you are not sure which box you have, have a look below or contact us and we’ll be able to tell you!

First printing

2015

As the second artwork by Anne Pätzke made its way to the players’ tables, it was also time to release the expansions in this new artwork!

With new box art, designed by Chris Quilliams, the new printing of the Traders & Builders expansion expands on the new look and feel of the boxes. A bit more of a modern feel on the front box art; the back of the box follows the path set out by the last releases of the C1 base games and the C2 base games. The first printing of this box had darker brown in the cities, something that was changed to a lighter brown colour upon request from Klaus-Jürgen Wrede.

Second printing

2019

Although the box remained the same (apart from the year), the contents have changed! The cities now have a lighter brown colour in them. Due to this, these releases are also referred to as C2.1
