For anybody in the UK interested in the 20th anniversary edition (or Ultimate RailRoads) from Z-Man games, I messaged them via Facebook.

Above all I wanted to get some idea of whether their release schedule is likely to match what's expected from HiG, as I'd hate to miss out because I'm waiting for a UK release or find out that it's only available in America as we do seem to be a bit of a blind spot for them lately.

I asked:
"Hello. Do you guys have an anticipated release date/ price for the Carcassonne 20th anniversary edition and Ultimate Railroads boxes in the UK yet?"

They replied:
"We're still working on files for both and don't have a specific release time. Carcassonne 20th should release sometime this summer and Ultimate Railroads will be sometime this fall. We'll post on social when the inventory is available!"

Hope this is of interest.

Ok, it would be good if there is a UK release!
So sometime this summer and fall... It's a bit unclear, but I guess it saves us the stress of looking whether or not to get a version from mainland Europe

Well finally, I would say. We didn't have a proper anniversary edition, nor new anniversary content since 2011.

Came from Mobius's Twitter feed

Apparently the design is 'common' in all countries.

the river is the river "l'Aude" which passes at the foot of Carcassonne

That looks amazing! Every single tile seems to be slightly updated!

I like the subtle differences with the flags and banners. Looking forward to seeing the other four new river tiles!

Some passing observations:
* The soldiers, Robbers (?), and Monastery all have banners with 20 on them
* The farm has a meeple banner on it
* There seems to be some new embankment details on the left River tile, as well as a fountain or well
* All of the city tiles have new blue banners hanging from the walls (some with a City symbol)
* The two large Cities and the new River/City tile also seems to have banquet tables
* The Carcassonne logo on the back is the normal font
* None of the tiles (including the new one) have watermarks
* The tiles have rounded corners, which is slightly odd

Yes, that is what I meant. Thanks for writing it out Whaleyland  :(y)
Those are no doubt the easter eggs they told us about. Though it is somewhat ridiculous for the robbers to announce their hiding spot witha flag  :))
No matter. I am just happy I was right about it not being just another festival.
