Title: Is this picture real? Winter Edition (2020) with River.
Post by: Bumsakalaka on October 09, 2020, 08:31:57 AM
At german forum was published picture of new Winter Edition.
It has River expansion but without Abbot and gardens.
I put it here, because this picture looks really REAL ;-)
What do you think?
About reedition of Winter edition was discition and rumors.
Maybe, SPIEL.digital is comming, it is real.

The design of the box follows the C2 design: Full image slightly framed. Game name over the top part of the image.

You can see the regular WE box cover here and compare:

(http://wikicarpedia.com/images/5/5b/Box_WE_HiG.png)

A member of CarcF found this while shopping in Stuttgart today:

https://www.carcassonne-forum.de/viewtopic.php?f=155&t=5126&start=15#p70695 (https://www.carcassonne-forum.de/viewtopic.php?f=155&t=5126&start=15#p70695)

Check the curve of the river: there something brownish resembling a garden, tight? But there is no mention on the box like you you said.

So it seems after all that HiG just rebundled it to add the River and get our money...

Will HIG dare to release WE I&C and WE T&B or even a WE Big Box?  :o

What abut a WE P&D with an ice dragon... I think I'm feverish...

The gardens are dead, so have no value.  The farmers can ice skate over the river, so it doesn't break up the farms.   >:D

Post by: DIN0 on October 09, 2020, 11:16:39 AM
The pseudo-garden will probably have no function. Certain non-base game tiles present in the old winter version had pseudo-inns, but those didn't have any functions either.

So wait, this new edition just has the river, otherwise it is exactly the same?

Oh boy I think I am one of the very few people who would actually benefit from this product. I have all of the winter edition mini-expansions but not the winter edition base game itself! So to get said game with a new River included, sign me up!

I have copy of the original version, so now it's time to get a new copy so I can play double base-game games plus river. Isn't it awesome?

I'm wondering if the animal tiles will come with rules this time...  ^-^

Since it has the River included and it seems the new H&G came with expansion tiles, do we have a tile list for this one? Do we know if it comes with Crop Circles and Gingerbread Man included?

So it looks exactly like the old one? Not even abbots/gardens were added? The artwork already existed in the - now discontinued - Carcassonne iOS app. It had Winter version of River, Gardens, German Cathedrals and expansions 1 to 3.

Post by: Meepledrone on October 12, 2020, 02:12:21 AM
I don't know if this is a coincidence but some months ago some WE fan expansions were removed from CarcF... Don't know if at HiG's request.

A few are still left though: I&C, The Tower, German Cathedrals, Cathars (The Snowman)... Almost all the WE stuff on CarcF is for the Download Version.

Post by: Carcassonne0123 on October 12, 2020, 02:44:29 AM
For me this photo looks a little fake. First off, the front of the box looks almost the exact same(the ice castle at the bottom corner is the only difference), and if you look closely the box on the right has the front cover on it, which means these are two different boxes! Plus, why would HiG just make the same game with just the river added?
Title: Re: Is this picture real? Winter Edition (2020) with River.
Post by: Meepledrone on October 12, 2020, 03:00:54 AM

This is exciting stuff! More maps is always good, Cathedrals for the C2 collectors and some kind of anniversary edition.
The new logo is probably for this special edition.

(But please no more Festival, two is enough, we want something new)

I really hope they don't do another new art edition for base, this past one barely got anything new. I can see maybe a One-off deluxe version maybe in a big box style..

There is a new edition that includes a winter-themed River expansion, but the tile backs and art style won't change. This new version will be available at Cundco and Muller stores in Germany.

At Cundco is written, that Spiel '20 Tile will be also available on mid-november sale.
So I quess, maybe than will be also available Winter Edition.
If you don't want to wait, you can "buy" it here:

Since I didn't see follow up on this edition, I went and bought one and I notice a couple changes

The coat of arms are significantly bigger on the new version
They added a lot more buildings on the city part (before there was just a couple of them but now i generally fill the whole space
Therre are 2 small easter eggs on the river tiles (they have all darker blue back btw): one has a rober hidden next to a road disguised as santa + one has a frozen vineyard/garden, the original base game tiles doesn't add novelties

hope it helps, shoot if you have more questions :)

I noticed those easter eggs on the tiles and included them on the Tile Reference initially, but after checking that neither the new WE rules and nor the Tile Distribution distributed by HiG as a separate sheet didn't mention them, I removed that extra info precisely yesterday.  :o

The new edition includes the 84 tiles plus 12 river tiles. However the artwork is slightly different. For example, the city segments have more houses.

Hi all,

I have made the acquaintance of kind individual in Europe who would be able to get copies of the winter river edition from Mueller shops to us in the USA. I know that some have expressed a desire to wait and see what CundCo does, and this question is if there is anyone here who would like to consider going on a group buy to save on shopping over the pond en masse.

I mean anything's an improvement over non-existent....

And the tiles are technically 3D; they exist.

ok, because otherwise I could have given it to you or someone you know maybe at the fair.
Do you actually want the whole game or just the river expansion?

I'm trying to buy directly to the site (having a hard time because of the fact that it's only in German but Deepl is my friend) and I can't find the River expansion, only the base game (https://www.mueller.de/p/hans-im-glueck-carcassonne-winter-edition-2662991/). Where's the expansion?

EDIT: "We currently ship to Germany only". Ok now I understand. Can some good german soul get the game for me and ship it to my home? Of course I will pay everything (game + website shipping cost + shipping cost to me) in advance.

The River expansion is included in this base game. It is not available separately. But some people had been selling the River expansion on it's own, as some buyers only really wanted the winter River, and might already have a Winter base game.

Thank you. None of these sites have an english version so I'll try to use Deepl to understand which one delivers outside Germany. One question about something that I didn't understand, sorry if this has been discussed already: the old version of the game DOESN'T include the winter river expansion, while the version that will be released in october will? Is this correct?

So if I get this, I also get the river expansion? But it's not the re-release? It's the "old" version?
It says "Delivery time: 1 - 3 working days (abroad)" so it can't be the new release but it also have the river expansion?

I’m not sure what you mean, it looks like the new version (both the front cover and the back which also shows the river tiles). Some places seem to have started selling it recently.

Post by: Willem on August 31, 2022, 06:51:45 AM
Yes, if you get that, you should be getting the latest version (2020), with the River included.
The Winter Edition has always had 12 more tiles than the normal game. It has the standard 72 tiles, plus 12 tiles with winter animals. However, there are no separate rules for them.

This version (the 2020 version) has the river on top of that.
I would call this the re-release of the 2020 version, but of course let's not try to confuse ourselves with the namings.

The website you refer to has the 2020 version listed, including the river edition. Asmodee DE said that it is expected to be released in October, but perhaps some shops have already gotten stock.
I doubt that it would be the 'normal'/'old' winter edition, as that has been out of print for several years already.

14€ shipping on a 28€ purchase is 50% of the price of the object. For me, it's not acceptable. I'll just wait for a non German site to sell it  8)

Well that's just the shipping price for a minimum parcel from Germany to the outside world...

It's a bit crazy but shipping from BE to NL is around 8 euro's and DE to NL is 14. (I know, I know. DE is much bigger :p)

I'm saying that paying 14€ for shipping a 28€ product is madness, and I'd rather not to do that.

Isn't the fact that one (1) tile in the whole base game box shows a garden on it, but it's not playable given the fact that the Winter Edition is designed in a pseudo C1 style therefore lacking gardens everywhere else? I'm not adding abbots to a game for just one (1) garden on the whole map. My in-universe view is that garden is yes a garden, but it's dead due to the cold, therefore no one want to go there, let alone an abbot who is very busy  O:-)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Winter Edition doesn't come with Abbots does it? I'm certain the 1st edition doesn't, almost sure about the 2nd edition.

It feels a bit silly complaining that you can't use a feature in a game where it is not meant to be used in  :o
It could be meant as decoration, like the animal tiles before  ;D

I was noticing that a game version who does not include abbots include an abbott mechanic instead, something that's weird to me. It was intended as a playful remark.

Post by: Decar on October 22, 2022, 04:00:21 AM
I think I share a similar opinion. The art for boxed Winter Edition was originally done by Anne Pätzke. So in my opinion the Winter edition isn't a "pseudo-C1" it's more like a "proto-C2". C2 came out a little later, after the snow melts, C2 is Carcassonne: Summer edition.

It's made more complicated because the recent release of the Winter Edition, that includes this tile with a garden, will have been overseen by Marcel Grober, the artist responsible for C3. But maybe the tiles were created earlier.

Either way, I think this tile is a nice way to show that the games are in the same place, it is Carcassonne after all.

I've reread your post, but I still read it as you saying you're not adding abbots to the winter edition, which sounds like a negative to me.
 As Decar mentioned, it was designed by Anne Pätzke, before the C2. When it was made, the abbot mechanic didn't exist.
I'd see it more as such, as decoration  ;D
I like the idea of the garden being frozen in Winter and therefore not being used, only to melt in the spring!

Has there been any news on an English release for this edition? My Gingerbread man and Crop circles are lonely.

From what I understand going through the thread, this was a special limited release though it got a wider release from HIG and Asmodee DE this year so it feels more possible now.

No news yet, and I wouldn't hold my breath  :o
ZMG have not been the fastest with new releases, and Im not expecting them to bring this one out tbh. It was a limited release in Germany that got a wider release now, but no news from any other publisher making this in a localised version. A lot of publishers have made the winter edition, and have stopped making them for a while now

-face turns blue from holding breath-

I am patient in the wait.. I prefer having english editions, I even went the more expensive english castle and got the falcon printed instead of the more affordable Zamek edition. I guess I will have too keep my eye out on a cheap english of the old version and buy then sell a german edition for the river tiles.

What made this different for other publishers to not localize it? H&G got picked up and both have been out of print for a similar time. This still released under Carcassonne unlike Zamek (at-least I don't think its no longer connected?).

There are no English versions of the Winter edition. Get yourself a German copy of the latest version. The only thing in German is the rules, and we have Wikicarpedia for that.

It will have refreshed tiles, few gardens visible, this time more alive and on more than just a river tile like last time.

It feels a bit silly complaining that you can't use a feature in a game where it is not meant to be used in  :o
Guys my english is not perfect but sometimes I wonder if you even read my posts. I never complained about not being able to use abbots. I was noticing that a game version who does not include abbots include an abbott mechanic instead, something that's weird to me. It was intended as a playful remark.

I think Sir loose a ferm will be satisfied with this new edition which will fully allow him to use Abbots in winter!

At least from the picture you can tell the river curve with a garden has been updated.

I asked HiG about this garden precisely in the German WE and they told that was not a garden... It seems it wasn't a proper garden yet. >:D

Currently, not much to report. HiG shared that "some partners" are doing this print, which leaves with no real info. It has been released in French, Bulgarian and Romanian so far, and I would expect more publishers to pick it up, but who knows.
From HiG themselves they basically said they are waiting for the stock of the 2020 WE to sell out first, before looking at releasing this one.
As Asmodee is the distributer in France, I believe they have also planned this French release in Canada. That could be a good sign, as good sales might help convince them to do the release in more countries, and push ZMG to actually make the English version

The boxes are very very different.

Muller is in the style of a c2 box 22 edition  is in the style of a c3 box.

I don't have pictures at hand sorry.

Thank you for your replies. Although I can't get access to the links you posted, I have checked WikiCarpedia and I found the differences you both wrote about. But I was specifically referring to the Hans Im Gluck versions. Does the 2020 Muller edition is in someway different from the 2022 one?

HiG have not yet released the latest Winter Edition in German. From our understanding, there is still stock from the 2020 edition, so no new one will be made for now.
The 2022 edition has been released in French, Bulgarian and Romanian for now, with more likely to follow.
For comparison:

HIG's 2022 Winter Edition is not on sale yet, but I assume it will be identical to the release of Z-Man Games' Winter Edition.

Who knows! Maybe some things will be fixed, maybe there will be even more rounder corners, maybe when it will be release at spring, it will have less snow that French edition. Or it will have extra expansion The Flu (as WE3 of The Pest) :D

Is there a plan to update the W-CAR rules with The River rules? At least for the 2020 version (old artwork)?

I am buying the game again just because of The River expansion (2020), but have doubts about the back of the tiles consistency. I will play the base + corn circles + the gingerbread man + the river. All I have at the moment are consistent (Anne Patzke), but how will the river integrate (Anne Patzke and Marcel Grober)? I can keep the 2020 tiles (Anne Patzke and Marcel Grober), but again the old ones (Corn Circles + The Gingerbread Man) can they be included without differences?

Don't remind me about the new shiny design (2022). I am too old to start buying everything again. I love the nutted colors and the old design of this beautiful game. Also, I'm a purist myself. No new design, Thank you!

The backs of the tiles should match, within reason of print runs of course.

In terms of the W-CAR, I suspect it won't be updated, as further development on rule clarifications and combinations moved to the Wikicarpedia.
