Answer
Hi Ron,
Thanks for your question about this game by Aurora.  Without seeing pictures of your game it is very difficult to evaluate its worth.  Each person has a different interpretation of terms like good, very good, and excellent condition, especially when there are torn corners and such.  This game in almost new condition, meaning the box is without splits, punctures, or wear and the parts are in almost perfect condition can bring up to $100.00 or more depending on what someone wants to pay.  Most of the time when there is damage to the game, its value drops considerably.  You can get an idea of this if you check ebay.  Some games of these games sell for $50 or less and these can have various things wrong with them, such as missing parts, damaged corners, damaged parts, box wear, missing light bulbs, electrical not tested, etc.  Feel free to copy and paste the following link into your browser so you can get more information about the value of games in general:   http://www.donsgamecloset.com/01boardgamevalues.html
