Shadis 17.5
From The Acaeum Wiki
Shadis Presents is a "new publication, coming out bi-monthly between the rugular issues of Shadis" to better focus on individual sections of Gaming, whereas Shadis is a straight-up games magazine.
This issue came with a unique card for the Sim City Card Game, and Card Street Journal, a Magic: The Gathering card price guide. It also came with a Chessboard/card game board for the enclosed game.

You may notice that under the heading "Variants", the entry for Jyhad League on page 50 does not show up on the Table of Contents. An oversight? Editing mistake? Your guess is as good as mine.
