Stone Age 10th Anniversary Edition

(1/5) > >>

Mikeagan:
According to a twitter post from Dice Tower at GenCon, Stone Age 10th Anniversary Edition is coming out! The Box says Limited Edition, and the display tag Release Date: Late 2018.
Right next to Stone Age 10th Anniversary Edition sits Carcassonne: Safari with the same estimated release.

Here is a twitch video of GenCon and at approx. 4:35:00 Stone Age 10th Anniversary Edition is featured.

In the video, He asked the guy at the booth about the differences between Standard and Anniversary.

-The Game Board is double sided (Original/Winter Theme)
-Winter Theme Version has additional game play/variants
-upgraded components - more detail on meeples/cavemen and other game components

It does not seem to include The Expansion (Style is the Goal), The Casinos, or The Mammoth Herd.

In this case I hope they release a 10th Anniversary Edition of The Expansion (Style is the Goal) with a double sided board (Original/Winter Theme) as well.

BoardGameGeek has the original post where people are talking about it.

I personally love Stone Age and I have The Casinos and The Mammoth Herd Expansions, but not Stone Age:The Expansion (Style is the Goal).

I saw the BGG post and some of the video content.

Being a big fan of the game I'm interested in this edition and think it is a nice idea!. My wife and I play with all mini expansions in, including the latest Mammoth and the larger 'Style' expansion. I would hope and assume that these expansion bits fit into the anniversary edition game design.

Stone Age - Anniversary Edition now on pre-sale at Spiele-Offensive.de for €56.99

Google Translate to English:
The familiar family game STONE AGE is 10 years old. On the occasion of this anniversary, this limited and revised edition will be published. The game includes the well-known summer version and a winter version, which is played with a variant. There are also two mini-extensions "The Wild Animals" and "The Igloos". Start an exciting journey into the past. Truly hard were the times when our ancestors still walked bent behind the wooden plow. But progress was not stopped even then. Good tools and high-yielding plants made work easier and life enjoyable.



From the images it appears that the Board, Player Boards and the Huts are double-sided with the winter art on the other side. The cards look the same. The Food Tokens are no longer disks, but have new fancy shapes. I can't tell if the Meeples are any different other than shades of color. We will have to wait and see what the Winter Variant and the two mini-extensions "The Wild Animals" and "The Igloos" are.

Mikeagan, thanks for posting.

This pull out quote is the most intriguing, "... new options for playing in the bitter cold of winter".

I shouldn't really be that interested in the release already having everything released to date but for the love of the game I am sorely tempted  ;D

Overall this is great news for anyone looking to get into the game. In regards to the price, sadly, it seems to be in-line or nearly on par with many new releases, (especially where Zman and Asmodee is concerned).
