Very cool looking! I just received the regular 2015 Deluxe edition this week. Been watching a lot of great videos on teaching the game. Board Game Review with Jason is the best video I've watched.
Quite a bit of the art is changed, I am surprised you couldnt see that you Twilight Struggle charlatan!. Also Brush War is incorrectly now labelled an Early War card now (it should be mid war). The box is amazing. The new board redesign is generally excellent. Nice that they added the May Not Be Held icon at the bottom of the scoring cards allowing you to easily show the base of your card hand at the end of the turn in tournament play, you should have shown a bit more detail about the Turn Zero cards :)
Me and a history buff and army buddy of mine tried this game for our first time. It was really enjoyable. And offcourse we have much to learn, because we don't know all the cards and he (Russia) beat me with a card I didn't see coming. I hope to get to play this even more with him in the future. It's a realy good game, but not a game I can pull out an play with anyone. Oh, and this edition looked sweet. Nice review :)
Seems like the sleeves don't fit the cards flush within them. They seem like the kind used for clipping IDs to a lanyard or your clothing, like the ones doctors use. Pretty ill suited to playing cards, and they look pretty thick too.
+John Smith I think they are fine in regards to how the cards fit in them. The cards actually sit in nicely. I actually like that part of it. They are definitely a "bit" thicker than I normally like sleeves to be. The deck gets kind of big and they will slide around a bit more.
+Drive Thru Review Wearing out the sleeves a little will get them to hold on to each other more easily so that shouldn't be a big issue. Weave shuffling them for a bit will fix that.

+daevv Ya. That one is fantastic.
+daevv Hi is the regular 2015 deluxe has the same artwork as before or new like the collector edition?
+Yifan Duan Not sure, but I think it's the old art.
Love the wooden box. Thanks for the sneak peak.

The Soviet token for the Space race is not Sputnik, is a Soyuz, the USA one is the Apollo CSM :)
+Kabutor dday Doh! The More You Know... Thanks!
+Kabutor dday ¡Trolako! XD
Nice, but the box could use a pair of lid supports to keep it from swinging open.
Man, this looks great. I wish it came with all this stuff but a standard box; I'd snatch it up.

+John Smith That's true. Good point!
I really should have splurged for this
needs a box insert!
+Joey Lucier I know it. There's a plano type thing at Target that supposedly works. There's a thread on BGG about it.
No no no, i MUST not by this one!
