> The version of Streetcar that came out in ’95 was called Linie 1.
> Mayfair modified the rules and released their version, called
> Streetcar, in ’96. So technically, the eligible game is Linie 1, but
> it’s more widely known as Streetcar, so that’s what I called it.
> Similarly, when The Bottle Imp was released in 1995, it was called
> Flaschenteufel, but it’s better known today by its English title,
> which it didn’t acquire until quite a few years later.
