<p>My family has an old edition of Empire Builder by Mayfair games, and the box I have isn't listed on Boardgame Geek's edition list. </p>

<p>I found <a href="http://boardgamegeek.com/image/457416/empire-builder">an image of the box on that site</a>. It is pre-fourth edition, as it doesn't have Mexico in it, and very little of Canada. The rulebook lists a copyright of 1982. It comes with a bunch of metal trains, the rule book is black and white, and the cards are black and white front with red 'M's on the back.</p>

# What edition of Empire Builder do I have?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2012-10-28)

My family has an old edition of Empire Builder by Mayfair games, and the box I have isn't listed on Boardgame Geek's edition list.

I found [an image of the box on that site](http://boardgamegeek.com/image/457416/empire-builder). It is pre-fourth edition, as it doesn't have Mexico in it, and very little of Canada. The rulebook lists a copyright of 1982. It comes with a bunch of metal trains, the rule book is black and white, and the cards are black and white front with red 'M's on the back.
