Well, it's here. And if I said I cannot recall a more exciting looking game, I would not be exaggerating. The bits are really, nice, especially the board, and the game looks really fascinating. 3 to 6 players, and I can't wait to play it. And you know what, even if it is going to have problems, it might even be a couple of games before I find them...

Further to my email letting you know that Age of Renaissance is here, I have since been advised by Andy Daglish that there is a widespread collation problem on the card decks. I checked mine, and with that reliable Siggins/Siedler luck, sure enough I had a duffer.
I therefore suggest you open the box and check before buying that the cards are okay (there should be no duplicate leaders, nor events, we think - a list is attached (it must be a CCG!)) otherwise face an interesting battle with your retailer/distributor or AH to get a working game for #50.
Good luck!
Mike

Because of the timing this letter has been lying around for quite some time. Avalon Hill has, no doubt, corrected the problem by now but you should double check your sets just to be sure.
