Is this game hard to find? I mean I guess it's probably hard to find in the US. I got my copy from Germany, it's an ok game, it very much felt like ticket to ride with auctions for tickets and wacky event cards German games had in the 80's (one of which is completely busted, inspection, it sends the game into an endless loop). Worth playing but I wouldn't go out of my way to get it (again).
To be fair, it could have been the translation I was using that caused the loop, and it in no way breaks the game if you know about it, you can easily rule it to make sense.
