Hey everyone, I just picked this game up via the holiday sale... and trying to read the manual available here is killing my eyes! I've seen other people post links to alternative manual downloads before without being told it was against the rules or anything, so for anyone else trying to avoid eye strain, another copy of the manual is also available here:

It's not exactly the same version of the manual (I believe it's for the base game only, not the expansion), but it appears to have actual text in the PDF, not just a medium-quality scan of a printed copy, so it is far easier to read!
