    Item was as pictured, New condition as described. Package was nice and securely wrapped in bubble wrap to not get damaged in transit. Very happy with purchase. Seller warned me it would be shipped in a large box because of it's odd size. I have been looking for this game in a complete set and I keep finding incomplete sets or pieces of it. Happy to finally track down a new set.
