I think the rules about the Baba Yaga tile are quite strange...  :o
If I understand this correctly, you lose your meeple for the rest of the game, unless you are willing to complete it for only 1 point.
Maximum score you can achieve is only 8 points, that's not really much for losing a meeple for the rest of a game. So, I would only place a meeple on it near the very end of the game...

If it was drawn near the end of the game it could be a good tile.  If all of the farms are taken 7 points could be a pretty good take.  I don't think its actually possible to get more than 7 points because you have to lay the tile next to another tile with a grass side, so there'd be at least two spots of the nine taken up.  But that's still better than a farm with only one closed city. 

But yeah, if you draw that tile any time other than near the end of the game I can't imagine anyone wanting to play a meeple on it instead of using it to play a farmer (or place no followers).

The tile itself gives 1 point, so maximum is 7+1=8.

Hello

I don't read Russian, but I think it is possible to buy something about this expansion here:

Not tiles but coasters if the translation is correct

Cordially

Yes, the translation is correct - these are coasters from cork.

The only thing keeping me from buying these is that their backs have the "K" instead of "C".  Because of that I wouldn't be able to mix them in with the rest of my tiles.  I'm still tempted to buy them anyway, though!

Hopefully, the custom version I sent you won't be too far behind now: which has a 'C'.

Wow, thanks for finding this quevy! I ordered one straight away :D

The seller says the are limited to 10 copies (and 1 per customer) so I suggest that people order quickly if you want a copy.

They only ship to Europe, but if you are outside Europe then I am happy to have your copy delivered to my address (in the UK) and I'll forward it on. PM me if interested in that and I'll give you my details.

I can certainly vouch for Decar's tiles, the quality of them is excellent.  :(y) This said, I've also gone for a set of the tiles from the guy over at BGG because I wanted the bag as much as anything else and the price was fair.

Get them while they're hot!

The BGG ones are apparently all gone - it says 'product not available' on the page now.

The tiles are not available at the moment there either. I have entered an e-mail address, so I will be noticed when they become available again. The price is good - around 3.5 EUR (+delivery, of course).

Thanks again to quevy for finding the link; first the custom bags and more this, quevy you are a star.

Merit for providing this link quevy. It's just a shame we didn't know about them while they were still available directly from the Russian site...  :(

I asked them if and when the tiles will be available again. Here is what they answered:
