Default More info on the upcoming Pocket Box project.

We continue to move forward with our plans to create reproductions of classic Pocket Box games.

A serious question, other than the box and the old style sheet of counters, how much would the Car Wars Pocket Box differ from the recent Car Wars Classic box set (SJG1400 )?

Pretty big differences. The Car Wars Classic box (first released in 1990) was distilled from the 1989 Compendium. The Pocket Box was much closer to the original release.

There's overlap, yes, but the two are different.

That sounds cool, I never pulled out my old Pocket Box and ran a side by side.

The number of pages in each is the first big indication that there are dramatic differences between the two.
