Title: Essen '19 special tile
Post by: supertopix on October 13, 2019, 03:13:58 AM
Hi everyone, do you think we will have a special Essen '19 tile, this year?

I'm gonna order on Cundco the 4 new maps etc. so I'd like to get the new tile :-) (if any)

Am I right in thinking that the original map had to be ordered separately? Would this stop spiel tiles being added?

There should be a new tile this year. Assuming they are doing what they did five years ago, they probably ordered new tiles for four more years, which means we still have three more to go!

The old maps did indeed require separate shipping but I think you still got the free tile. Not sure if they just tossed it in the tube with the map or if they shipped it in an envelope separately. I wasn’t able to justify the cost of shipping the map to New Zealand.

Small Infos for those at Essen, they will also have a few original expansions "König&Späher"and "Der Graf", thanks to Schmidt Spiele who makes a clearance.

A merit to you for sharing this delightful news!  :yellow-meeple:

EDIT: All the new stuff, except the spiel tile are listed on Cundco’s website, though you can’t add to cart yet. I’m sure everything will be available once Essen is over!

Side note they have the new edition of Stone Age AND the expansion (renamed to “Dawn of Style”) listed as well.

Hi aenima!

Thanks for the merit.

As it was quite straightforward, I updated WICA to include the Spiel 19 promo tile.

http://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/Timeline (http://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/Timeline)

I'm waiting for the rules in English for the new Maps and, the  Map Chips, and the Toolkeepers to include them all too.

Looking forward to see your excellent Carcopedia updated soon too.

Cheers!

My question is: Does that allegedly pedestrian bridge connect both city segments?

Post by: Geordieracer82 on October 25, 2019, 11:19:04 AM
Don’t suppose anyone would be willing to pick one up for me and ship it to the UK in exchange for postage cost plus chocolate perhaps?

Clarification at HiG booth (Essen): The bridge connects the two city segments.

Thanks, Murphy013 for your support with this critical information  ;)

I don’t suppose I could ask a favor of an Essen Spiel attendee to pick me up one of these (yeah I know everyone wants one so probably not lol) and some Harry Potter promos? 8)

USAopoly OP Booth 5 I 100 to pick up Harry Potter: Death Eaters Rising promo cards:

Has anyone a ‘19 tile to ship to emoji code634] Italy? emoji code6] emoji code1488]

My question is: Does that allegedly pedestrian bridge connect both city segments?

For a finished city, it does not matter whether the bridge connects the two parts or not. Because there is not a single tile with a city that has half a tile edge.
But at the end of the game, with an unfinished city, I can understand that it can cause a problem. Connect the bridge between the two cities or they are separate from each other.

(Abbey and the Mayor - King and Rober - River II - Gold_Mines - Spiel '19)

On the Spiel tile the bridge ends in a city gate. But the other known tiles, see above, have no city gate. Conclusion: I would say that the two cityparts are not connected to each other.

To be honest, for me it looks like the bridge ends with a wall ;) You can see that better on the right part of the city,.. so people are trapped there ;)
I think this was just overlooked by the designer. The plan was that cities "are connected" but it doesn't look like it.

Another question. Connect the meadows with each other if you hold the two tiles together or not?


In fact, if you place the 2 game '19. You get an open meadow and two separate cities (if the bridges do not connect the cities).

These tiles have a special composition in Sheep and Hills. However, the two cities are isolated (if you do not count the bridge).

For those who wants to get Spiel tile from Cundco... as I remember correctly.. in last year or two years ago, to reach the expenses level (costs) that entitled you to get the Spiel tile, you had to buy something else than latest expansions, ... so beware that this year "maps" can be excluded from these things.

I don't think this is true. I've picked up a Spiel tile every year and always bought the new expansions as a part of my purchase. If anything, this year will be better since there are so many maps to purchase, which will make it easy to reach the price point.

This is becoming anxiety-inducing. When are they going to do the Spiel '19 tile give-away?! I can't skip a year and there's so much to order this time around (arguably too much, especially considering shipping). Papa needs his Spiel '19!!!

Ordered! 108 USD for five maps, chits, ringmasters, tollhouses, and the Spiel '19 tile. A bit high for shipping but at least I'm getting a lot. I think it'll come with a free bag, too, so that's nice. I didn't see any point in the tin since I didn't need two other expansions.

 :o

After seeing the shipping for 1 map, I looked to see if I could find 20E worth of other stuff I wanted.  The only thing I really wanted was the toll-masters.  Ohhh well luckily I don't have the whole set, so I can miss another one.

Hi guys,
I set my order for far more than 20 euro but.. somehow I didn't put Spiel '19 tile into the basket. I paid via PayPal so payment was done immediately..and I guess that order is completed. I sent them an e-mail with explanation.. but I'm afraid that they will ship before reading it. What should I do now??? Maybe send an order just for the Spiel Tile with comment?... or just wait?

I think that this kind of situation happened to someone before.. but I can't find proper thread. 
Title: Re: Essen '19 special tile
Post by: Decar on November 30, 2019, 01:09:07 PM
that's unfortunate!  I made a similar mistake but decided to order some more stuff to avoid missing out.  We can't advise you how Cundco operates, they are an enigma. You'll have to decide if you think it's worth waiting for your order and discovering no 19 tile. :'(
Title: Re: Essen '19 special tile
Post by: Meepledrone on November 30, 2019, 04:01:37 PM
I placed my order three days ago and I made an error in the destination address. I could solve with a couple of iterations by email with Cundco. My order is still in preparation... So it seems orders are taking a few days to ship. Hope you can solve your issue without any hassle.

Lucky you...  ;D

Main arrived already too, but the same order included some Maps, Map-Chips and Toolkeepers that never arrived... I received a small box and I wondered how they managed to put all the Maps I had ordered in there... I discovered the blunt truth soon after: Half of my order was missing so I had to contact HiG to solve this minor issue >:(

So I'm sitting tight waiting for the second part of my order... My preciooooooussssss Maaaaapssss!  :o

My order came today with everything ... but Spiel Tile  :'(

Finally the Spiel 19 tile is sold out.

I received information that my order was shipped on 5th of December. So now I will just wonder what would happen if I added that Spiel Tile to the basket? or... what would happen if anyone in Cundco read my message that I sent one week earlier (on 29th of November)?...

I'm not blaming anyone. I'm just disappointed. ..especially when I spent 15 euro more than I would in Poland for same items (maps, tolls, etc.), just to get that tile. 

I just hope that Whaleyland will get his package with Spiel Tile in it :)

Me too! Still waiting for the package(s) to arrive. Should be here soon, I hope. Granted, all the rest of my Carcassonne stuff is on the other island in New Zealand, so I won't be able to play anything until the end of the month.
