I hadn't heard of it until Jon's email.  I'm not sure it was "hard" to
find, but it's certainly "expensive" to find.  Noble Knight Games has
one for $85 US.  Two people on BGG have one for what might as well be
that much between currency conversion and shipping.

It definitely is going onto my list though.

Which is also on my (long and growing) list for a completely different
reason.

Thanks
