Arcadia Printing Errors

So far we've discovered printing errors for Lost! and Thomas, the Lame Brigand. After discussions with Moxtaveto, it seems like there are many more cards with problems. This doesn't mean that every copy of a card has the problem...for example, some copies of Lost! are misprinted while others are not. Below is a list of cards that Moxtaveto has found errors on:

1 error in KING IRONHEART'S MADNESS:


"Vigorous" (Ability): besides the correct version, there is also a version
with the text "EXHAUSTED" on both sides! This can easily be overseen,
because the front side has the correct image which differs slightly from the
one on the back side like on all cards.


2 errors in ARCADIA THE WYLD HUNT:


"Dragonkin" (Enemy): besides the correct version, there is also a version
with correct Dragonkin on the front side, but with "Redkaps" on the back
side!


"The Ruins of Plugrath" (League): besides the correct version, there is also
a version with the "Ruins of Plugrath"-text on one side, but with the image
of "Nowhere Junction" on the front!


Besides these errors, there are 16 Waylay cards from "ARCADIA THE WYLD HUNT"
which come in 2-3 versions. Different are the terrain icons in the middle
column of the card.


11 cards come in 2 versions:


Banek
Giant Slug
Gord's Knot
Pilgrim's Burden
Pirates
Quicksand
Rockslide
Spidereye Goblin
Spike Trap
Unicorn
Waterrunner


5 cards come in 3 versions:


Forest Spiders
Huntsman's Snare
Icarian Flying Skiff
Lost!
Thomas the Lame Brigand


In addition, Moxtaveto has modified my Excel file to include the variations of the cards. I have posted a link to this updated file over in the sidebar. Many thanks to Moxtaveto once again for all his hard work!

Suggested Errata for Lost! and Thomas, The Lame Brigand

In reviewing card data for Waylays Lost! and Thomas, the Lame Brigand, I think they are incorrect. Both show icons for Lake, River and Ocean Terrain. This makes no sense for Lost!, since the difficulty is based on the Terrain, which does not even list Lake and River, and instead lists several other Terrain types not symbolized on the card! And Thomas makes no sense thematically: why would a brigand be encountered on Lake, Ocean, and River Terrain, instead of Road, Ruins, etc.?

My proposal for Lost! is that it should be every Terrain type defined in the card difficulty: Forest, Ruins, Town, Border, Marsh, Mountains, Ocean, and Cave.

My proposal for Thomas is the same as Thieves!: Border, Bridge, Castle, and Town. Although a brigand is more similar to a pirate than a thief, the Pirate Waylay does involve water terrain, which distances itself from Thomas. Also, the text of Thomas, the Lame Brigand indicates he doesn't get around like he used to, so you would be more likely to find him hanging out closer to town, instead of wandering the wilderness...
