[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 8229164, member: 4348"] The core game is the same with the groupings of many of the games I mentioned. Each grouping (for example, Bridge, Hearts, and Spades) are all from the same root and the same game supposedly initially, though some of them you have to go pretty far back. In fact, some of them have MORE in common in rules and spirit than AD&D and OD&D does with 3e, 4e, and 5e. (though admittedly, some may be harder to see in their root, where as some are rather easy to see, such as the connection between the listed card games). As I said, if you consider 5 card draw and Texas Hold Em the same game (and, in fact, they are both the same game in theory, both being versions of Poker), I can see why you would consider TSR D&D and Hasbro D&D the same game. However, if you do not, well...Texas Hold Em and 5 card draw are probably closer in spirit and rules than the two different eras of D&D. The Newer D&D replaced the Older D&D...much like Monopoly has replaced the Landlord's game. [/QUOTE]
