"Bitter Woods 3rd Edition" was published and sold briefly in 2002 as a professional DTP effort by designer Randy Heller. Only 200 copies were sold before a contract to publish a Deluxe L2 Design Group version stopped further sales, making this one of the more desirable acquisitions among game collectors. The game includes a color booklet and full color 1/2" counter sheet, includes historical articles, random events, and game scenarios. This edition only supplies updated rules and counters, no other components are included therefore a copy of a previous edition is required for use!
