Update to Edge of the World data

Hello,

For the Edge of the World section (Non-Official Cards section), additional known info could be added:

1. Donald X. Vaccarino went on to create the 2009 Spiel des Jahres winning board game, Dominion.

2. At the time of the convention, four known complete sets were in existence (2 to the executive producers of Manafest, 1 to a producer on Manafest and 1 to the creator of the set.) Two have since been sold to collectors, and two remain in the original owner's collections.


I figure #1 might be an interesting addition.

#2 is more of collector data, but might be of interest.

Best regards,

Raisnford

Oh wow! I was buddies with Donald for a while, and I never put 2 and 2 together that he made the set. I'll have to pester him about this at some point. :)

No clue when I will see him next tho :(

Considering how well Dominion and the expansion have done - I would hazard that Donald has been doing very, very well these last few years. :-)

Winning the Spiel des Jahres is like winning Best Director or Best Movie at the Oscars. It is not an insignificant thing. Add to that that Dominion is one of the best selling board games of the past few years...

It is great to see he has done well.

Best regards,
