[quote name=\'Matt Ottinger\' date=\'Jan 4 2004, 01:31 PM\'] The Third Edition was also in that "taller" box (for the record, 9.5 x 6 x 2.75), so the Fourth is the first one to change its shape (again FTR, 9.5 x 7.5 x 1.75). Aside from VERY minor color variations (some aprons going from blue to red), the box size is the only change in the new version.

Actually, some of the later produced copies of the Third edition of Password from Endless Games were packaged in the same size box as the new Fourth edition.
It also looked like some later produced copies of $25,000 Pyramid were packaged in a more square box like the new Pyramid game with Donny Osmond pictured on it. I haven't seen an actual copy like this, but the illustration on the inside apron of EG's Card Sharks, show the box perfectly square. Maybe they considered this, before releasing the updated version.
