I've read the entire thread, and I must admit I am very confused. Does anyone actually have the new German "laser" Thoth? How does it compare to the regular edition? Are the changes that dramatic that it is a must، although it is in German? I've been waiting for this for years, but even this thread seems lukewarm towards it (unless, as I said I'm confused, and it hasn't come out yet).
This thread is long and perhaps unfocused, and rightly so, but maybe somebody could sum it up, and say whether it is released or not, and if so, if it is worth getting?
Please?
Yes, it's released. There are two versions; one released by Konigsfurt in standard and pocket editions, the other by Urania in standard and large. The Konigsfurt looks like the one I linked to in pocket size for LeFanu, described here by those who have it as slightly wider than previous editions and somewhat fuzzier in the printing. The Urania looks like all the previous German printings except maybe sharper, but I'm not so sure. Both cards and lwb are in German. The US Games version currently in print is an English language printing of the Urania version and is probably as good a printing as you can get in English.
If you're not a collector the US Games edition should be good enough for your needs. If you're a collector the Urania versions are nicely printed and boxed. I haven't seen the Konigsfurt so I don't know if it's worth buying; I didn't think so.
Since I'm doing this from memory I've probably got some of it wrong, so let others add corrections and revisions as they see fit.
