There are sites that still love the game (nothing seems to ever die thanks to internet). Some sites have downloadable printable files for all of the game pieces and board pieces. And the Manual. So you could create one of your own. The ones Ive looked at also have various player suggested add-ons (old world version of modding) which they nicely separated so that you can get the original game then later get the add-ons if you want.

There is also a SourceForge project trying to recreate the game as a computer game which I feel it is PERFECT for. But nothing has been done on that for a long time.
For anyone interested in Magic Realm, I strongly recommend the fan-made "third edition" of the rules, which are mostly a reorganization of the official "Legendary Lost Second Edition" rulebook.

I wish I could join in the recommendation of the game itself, but frankly, I enjoy setting up the board more than I do actually playing the game. I occaisionally shuffle and deal out the board tiles just to relax and look at the patterns the paths & passages form.
