I picked up four new games this week, and when I cracked the shrinkwrap I found that three out of the four were missing pieces. Buyword was missing a Wild tile, Zendo was missing the entire bag of white stones, and Carcassonne: The City was missing two wall pieces. The latter problem is apparently widespread, as I've heard of at least three other copies that were missing the same pieces. I know that every now and then these things happen, but a more superstitious man would view this kind of shoddy convergence as a Sign of Ill Portent. Though it would probably get lost in the shadow of the whole Bush winning reelection thing.
