You're right. I did get the veteran version if that's what the $180 version was. It's just weird that right out the gate I'm clearly missing one of the figures in the figurine set and I pulled the box out that said "Robinson Crusoe: Collector's Edition." On the back of the box it states that there is everything required for play with 7 scenarios, etc" I'm not ripping on the game, It was always one of my favorite "thinking" games for my family to solve a ton of mini puzzles...It's great. I just feel like I should've just ordered the neoprene mat. The gameboard always seemed claustrophobic, and that mat is the bees knees for sure. The large beautiful figurines don't work well when you double up on an action. I feel like I need to spray paint each character their own color. I was so into this game 3 years ago. My whole family hasn't been into it for years now. It is what it is. They all got burned out on how difficult the scenarios were. In probably 20 games we beat 2 of the first 4 scenarios we played repeatedly. I played a ton of games solo, late at night, playing by the rules, and I finished one other scenario. I have a notebook of ever win, defeat, and reason.

You're totally right, it was just so long ago I forgot what the hell I even signed up for.
