I picked up the Odyssey2 Master Strategy title Conquest of the World yesterday from the DP store. Looking through it, it's pretty much 100% complete, which is pretty awesome, although I think it may be missing a couple of the small magnets. I'm basing my estimate of the completeness on this page http://www.the-nextlevel.com/odyssey2/strategy/cworld/index.php. According to them, it should have 38 1x1 magnets of each color plus one 2x1 homeland marker of each color. However, I have between 40-43 1x1 magnets depending on which color it is.

So it seems that either I have a couple of extra magnets for each set, or that page is incorrect and I'm short a few. Anyway, I'm happy either way as the set is otherwise all accounted for. The game board and cartridge are beautiful, the manual cover is a little dirty but the inside is fantastic, and the box has a tiny bit of folding but still has the ribbon on the inside to hold the lid up. I'll post pictures below for anyone interested.

The board is almost flawless

All of the chips were accounted for

The only anomaly is the magnets. As you can see, yellow and green have 43 small magnets plus the rectangular home base magnet, while black, blue, and white have 42. Meanwhile, red has only 40 smaller magnets and the linked page lists a total of 38 each, so who knows?

Here are the magnets from my set (they sure look unused to me, but after looking at the page you linked, I don't know...):

43 White/Blue/Yellow + 2x1
47 Black/Red/Green + 2x1

Bah! 47?! How many damn magnets is this game supposed to come with? This certainly is a twist I wasn't expecting. If anything I was expecting the total to be either the 38 quoted from that link or the 43 that I seemed to have, but now I have no idea. It seems we have a mystery on our hands!
