Is this the first or second printing of the game?

To update the answer here, as of (at least) July 18, 2018, this is the forth printing, per the printing just above the barcode on the box.

The other day the shipping to australia was $19, in line with listed weight, but today it's $43. What changed?

Cannot tell from here, but sounds like your shipping address changed or the shipping method you selected changed.. No US retailer can ship a game that heavy to Australia for $19. In fact, even at $43, the retailer would be taking a significant loss. To us, those look like U.S. domestic shipping charges -- $19 for standard shipping and $43 for express or 2 day shipping. Buy, again, I am just guessing since I cannot see your screen. Respectfully, Robert S.

The foldable boards in the kickstarter version don't lay flat properly. Is this problem corrected in the second edition?

I have the 3rd printing, and it still doesn't lay flat straight out of the box. It will lay flat properly if you put something on top of it for a while (such as the stack of spirit boards). After you fold it up and put it back in the box, and take it out again, it once more won't lay flat until you flatten it for a while.

Is this the original board game? I am confused since item weight is 2 pounds and the original weights over 6 pounds

It is the full core game. I am not sure why the listed weight differs, but the product is complete.
