greetings! just a couple of questions related to this booklet:

1) i bought a lot woth both Star Probe and Star Empires and all the counters were shuffled when i received it... is there anybodt so kind to tell me what is included in each of the games? i have a cardboard with blank counters as well as a small cardboard (roughly 5cm x 10cm) with starships on it (i presume it should be cut and used as counters...); it would be great if someone could shoot me a picture of the proper add-on to each game...

2) i already had a copy of Star PRobe and when i received the lot, i found that there was a noticable difference between the 2 booklet... one has a map made on paper and dated 1974... the other one has a map of a kind of canvas dated 1975... of course none of the booklet mention the printing or a date (a part from the date on the gzgax's foreword)... of to understand in this case which priting are these booklets?

tnx and ciaooo

Star Probe had several printings and I am guessing that the map was also printed a number of times.  I think I have 4 different prints of Star Probe starting with one with a GK logo so it is one of their older games.  Star Probe is suppose to come with the booklet, ship counters and map in a ziplock bag.

Star Empires was sold in a number of different ways:

1) Book by itself
2) Book, star map, white counter sheet in ziplock bag
3) Bundled with Star Probe together with a star map, white counters, ship counters in a ziplock bag.

As far as I can tell, there was only one printing of Star Empires but I did find one that was misprinted where pages 30 and 42 were blank.  I haven't seen enough of them to know if this was a one off or something typical of one of the prints.
