Weird - I would never buy a CE of this game - what's the point, I already own the game.
As for the thin player boards, I absolutely love these - they actually lay flat on the table and stay put, unlike Macao and Bora Bora where the boards warp slightly and then spin on the table whenever they are touched.
I also like the tiles - any bigger or thicker and they would take up way too much space - I love the fact that the game takes up quite a small footprint.
However I do agree with the hatred of the colour choices - the 'technology' tiles and the animal tiles are way too similar in colour.
