I thought it might be some trick or puzzle type thing, you never know what's a puzzle and what isn't when you're a perplexcityaholic!!

But if other people are managing to open them then I'm guessing it's some error with my browser or something. Anyone got any ideas?

The virtual cards are #056 Gravity and #106 Rickety old bridge, so chances are you have already solved them.

I saw these on the site before I saw this thread, and was so gutted when I realised they were old ones! When are we going to get Wave 3?

Cheers Don, I have done those cards. I was under the impression that they would be different, i.e. special cards only available online but it seems I was wrong!!

How would we get the full map / entire collection in our plastic folders then? Wink

It's an annoying aspect of the plastic folders that you can't fit them all in if you, like me, prefer to have one set of 4 per open page with all the borders nicely lined up. Grr.

Why not?

The folders hold 260 cards. There are only 256 in the game, which means you can miss the front and back pages out (which only have space for 2 in each) and, subsequently, place card number 1 in the next 4-card open spread...

no they hold 256 exactly. If you think about how the wallets are constructed, in sheets of eight pages, there could never be a 260 one, 264, sure, but no 260. Very annoying. I've decided to offset all my cards one sheet forwards, so car 1 goes in the 3rd hole, this means that when I open my folder I'll see cards 255 and 256, but all the others will be lined up nicely, and I'd rather have silvers on either side than reds.

The blurb about the starter set on the firebox site says that the folder holds 260 cards. The blurb is wrong, shame as I thought they were being so sensible Wink
