I was hoping for better "stat trackers"...

I have the original but it doesn't get out enough (much really) as my fun/fighty group is low on numbers and the euro group I show up with with higher numbers doesn't regards (well not all of them) games like this as worthwhile fun.
I've got the Betrayal Legacy game sitting unplayed for over a year due to the same numbers issue - I was just not going to waste it with three players when it has five characters, but our fourth player is returning after an illness so I'll probably have to play it with the four of us. And I'm extremely interested to see what type of game it leaves to be played after the 15 legacy games have been played (in comparison to standard Betrayal)

Ugh, this makes me want to sell my second edition version and pick this up... and that's after being burned by the Scooby Doo version. Damn you, Barnes.
