Important Notes about Galaxy Trucker:

A Note from Jay at Rio Grande Games:
" We have just received Galaxy Trucker as expected. Unfortunately, the company that loaded the games loaded them incorrectly and we are seeing a large number of VERY small damages to the boxes. The damage consists of a small (1/2" to 1") minor crease along one of the smaller sides of the box. In most cases, I would imagine these to be not significant to you or your customers, but I wanted to alert you to the issue.
We plan to ship these without consideration of this minor crease due to the fact that many players have been long waiting for the game and we expect will not notice or consider this to be a problem.
I can say that as the second shipment has already left our warehouse in Germany, it is very likely to have the same problem. Thus, waiting for the next batch in the hopes the problem will be gone is not likely to produce the results you would want by doing so.
We apologize for the problem and ask for your understanding.

Please Note: We (TWS) have inspected our shipment, and we were pleased, considering Jays announcement. About 50% of them have only very slight damage to them with either a small crease or dinged corners. The others have no visible damage. We are selling ALL of our copies as "NEW" and not ding/dent.
