      Dominik, I sent an email to Game Salute, the fulfillment company who sent out the games to backers. They should be able to see what happened to your copy of Dragon Valley. I copied you on the email so, we can take care of this via that email thread. Thanks for your patience!

      Mark, you are right, a rules update should have been made to match the changed hue. I have added it to my list of improvements for future printings/projects. Thanks for the input!

      If the intent was to have them look light gray "not white", why not correct the rulebook to make it consistent before printing? William is right, the game still works but it is something that could cause many people to question it.

      They are definitely baby blue, but the game still works. :-)

      They are in fact, "Not quite White Knights." To me (and some colorblind cube proofers I showed them to during the color selection process) they look light gray which was my intent, but many people see them as light blue. They should be different from all other cubes for everyone.

      I got my game last week and going over the components I've noticed that my 15 White "Knight" cubes are actually light blue. Just wondering if anyone else got the wrong color cubes?
