About Scratch & Dent or Pre-owned ProductsSince eBay does not offer a "New Other " category for board games, we have to list our items as either "New" or "Used". Many of our listings are Scratch & Dent items that don't fit neatly into either category. They are unplayed, factory sealed, and NOT pre-owned. The boxes will have various blemishes from small dents to potentially having holes. All scratch and dent issues are cosmetic to the exterior box. Please check our pictures before purchase. "Scratch and Dent" items will be listed as "New" only if they are factory sealed. "Scratch and Dent" will be in the description and will have damages described. "Pre-Owned" items will be listed as "Used" and we will put "Pre-Owned" in the description.We generally do not sell games that are incomplete. If a pre-owned game is not complete but is playable, we list out any components that are missing. Grading ScaleWhen needed for more detailed descriptions on PRE-OWNED ITEMS, we use the following grading scale (this usually pertains to books):-Near Mint (looks like new)-Very Fine (some wear and tear, minor dings and dents)-Fine (noticeable dings, dents, tears, but nothing major)-Very Good (larger dings, dents, tears, scuffs, structure still intact)-Good (major dings, dents, tears, scratches, useable but needs some extra care)The Hare and the Tortoise ~ iello ~ OEJDescription from the publisher and/or Board Game Geek: Pre-Owned. Missing one goal stand piece (non-essential) The box is in very good condition. The Hare & the Tortoise, originally published as Royal Turtle, is a card-driven betting game about animal racing loosely based on one of Aesop's Fables. At the start of a race, each player secretly bets on up to two of five animals: turtle, rabbit, lamb, wolf and fox. One animal is chosen at random for each player, then after receiving a hand of seven cards, each player places one of his cards face-down (possibly the same animal) as an additional bet. Players then take turns laying down 1-4 cards, with all cards needing to show the same animal, then refilling the hand to five cards. As soon as eight total cards have been played or four cards of any one animal, the animals move (maybe). Each animal has a distinct characteristic that players can use to their advantage. The turtle always moves one space, but it moves two if four of its cards were played. The rabbit always moves two spaces as long as cards are played. — unless four cards are played and it's at the head of the pack, in which case it sleeps and doesn't move. The fox moves as many spaces as the number of cards played. The lamb moves one more space than the number of cards played — but if it reaches water, it stops moving to take a drink. The wolf moves 1 space if one to two cards are played, and one less space than the number of cards if more are played. The wolf also has 3 cards with a howl, if one of these is played no one but the wolf moves.(The track consists of eleven road cards, two covered with water.) After the animals move, players start a new round of card-playing. A round ends when three of the five animals reach the goal, after which each player scores points based on the ranking of the animals and how they bet. After three rounds, the player with the most points wins. The original title of Royal Turtle is a homage to Reiner Knizia's Royal Turf, another betting game about animals racing (albeit horses in that game).MESSAGES & E-MAILAll messages and e-mails will be answered within 1 business day.SHIPPING SCHEDULEThe post office picks up Monday through Friday.
