I agree. The demand was way higher than they expected and they are probably working on something at this point for it.

The biggest thing the other comments have missed is compatibility: Century: Spice Road & Century: Eastern Wonders have a combined form (From Sand to Sea) which is pretty good and definitely a big selling point for the Century series. The third and final installment in the series (Century: A New World) isn't available yet but will also feature combined games (combining with each of the first two games and combining all three games, for a total of seven unique games).The hitch: Golem edition features gems, not cubes, and uses different colors. While you can still work around this and combine them, it removes a lot of the elegance. Save yourself the trouble and buy Spice Road (and buy Eastern Wonders while you're at it - it's a great game).

I do like this game, for the esthetics I put golem edition on my wishlist
I’m not sure the other games are an improvement to this game, I believe the elegance of the design shouldn’t be cluttered by extra rules and mechanics

I haven’t played the others, I did see some reviews of eastern wonder, and they couldn’t convince me to try it. It came across more like an average design where spice road is a great design

I have played it a bunch. My friend owns Golem Edition which is why I know how cool it is. I'm probably going to just go that route.

I think that Century: Golem Edition is the one that people get most excited about because it really has a solid theme that doesn't feel tacked on.

There seem to be a ton of people who prefer the Golem edition. I gotta believe they'll create the expansions for it also.
