Spiel DOCH! The strange Spielbox spinoff magazine that is only available in German and now has all the fun English-language promos. Because people were complaining about Spielbox being translated...? I'll get these tiles undoubtedly, but I am not thrilled getting yet another Spiel DOCH! issue that I can't read. To be fair, I AM learning to read German, but I am not nearly advanced enough to read a magazine like this.

Here is a much higher-resolution version of those four tiles, taken from Spiel DOCH!s website. I don't know anything about Carcassonne Safari so I don't know what a Lion/Elephant or Zebra/Giraffe tile will add to the game. The two base game tiles seem pretty basic, though. The CCFF tile seems to just have a standard stable feature on it (not sure what animal, but that only matters for the Markets of Leipzig anyway), while the RRRF tile includes a village and a Garden. Again, nothing really unusual. There may be a small stable to the south of the village and the village does seem to be slightly larger than usual (is there a tiny fountain in the centre?), but it does not seem especially remarkable. I hope that the SPIEL and DOCH! written on the two tiles are just there so people don't copy/cut the tiles from the website and not some obnoxious watermarks. The Safari tiles have no such watermarks.

elephants and lions are used in the set collection scoring when the road or jungle is completed.  The jungle also contains a bird that scores an extra point when scoring the jungle.  Nothing mechancially different to regulary safari.
of the regular tiles: i think the stable hosts a donkey.

According to the Spiel Doch website, the 2 tiles for Carcassonne can be used together as alternative starting tile.
I don't think there will be any additional rules, just an alternative to the regular starting tile
I do suspect The watermark to be on the tiles, but that will be a wait and see i guess

Please share images of the actual tiles when they arrive. I suspect you are supposed to place the two tiles beside one another so that 'SPIEL' and 'DOCH!' are beside each other. I am really reluctant to buy this expansion. It costs over $15.00 to send to NZ for two tiles, plus a few more if I ever get the Safari spin-off. That's right up there with the Darmstadt and Kathar tiles in expensive, and I rarely play with either of those expansions. This doesn't even come with new rules, which makes it even less appealing, and the text on the tiles is just atrocious. What's next? A special Amazon expansion that includes the Amazon.com logo across all the tiles?

Ask yourself: how big will be your regret when you don't buy it now, realise after a year or two you do need it in your life and pay perhaps double or triple?  8) 8)

It is an argument for the completionists but not one that will work for the players. I have had tunnels, cathers, besiegers, darmstadt, russian, halflings etc. But they didn't get enough usage due to their associated rules or art style and so i cashed them in and probably bought a whole different game with each. These new games (to my collection) do get played.

English: "The enclosed two plates for Carcassonne can be used together as an alternative startplate."

Carcassonne: Safari expansion
German: "Die beiliegenden zwei Plattchen fur Carcassonne - Safari werden einfach untergemischt. Auf jedem sind zwei verschiedene Tierarten zu sehen."
English: The enclosed two plates for Carcassonne - Safari are simply mixed in. Each one shows two different species of animals.""

At least the rules are nice and simple, and I like that there would be two city segments available from the start so that the first player to draw a city cap doesn't automatically get a 4-point bonus. Or at least if they do, there is still a chance for the second player to do the same.

Is that watermark printed on the tile or on the sellophane wrap? If that's on the tile it could be the ugliest and most out of place watermark yet... >:(

The "watermark" is on the tiles themselves. One has "SPIEL" the other has "DOCH!" with some additional scribbling in a font too small for me to read now... (*sigh*... I'm getting old I guess.) In addition, there is also a more actual watermark on the tiles showing "SD".

My German is quite bad (even though I'm Dutch) but the article is named "The story of The Palace of Alhambra".

There's a trial game of Saboteur: Das Duel included.

Yes Saboteur, is except the dwarf cards and Saboteur: Das Duel are both language independent. But also the dwarfes you can spot the difference about the good and bad ones.

I must say I'm dissappointed that they have normal backs and not the darker backs like the normal starting tile.
Yes, they are easy to sort after a game due to the watermark, but it would've been a nice touch.

Oh well

At least until the next Spiel DOCH! expansion comes out, I think it is fine to call this just that: the Speil DOCH! Expansion. It joins half of the Labyrinth expansion to form a growing SD-related set of promo expansions unified by a shared watermark (much like Cult Places, Tunnels, and Plague for Spielbox).

In addition to all the other negatives with these tiles (super-ugly presentation, wrong backs, opportunity cost of displacing several much superior starting-tile options), I have to ask...

What is the point of printing a garden on a tile that nobody deploys onto? (Yes, I realize you might get to use a flying machine or something in a game or two during the rest of your life, but seriously... who thought this made sense as a starting tile?)

Overall, these seem like two of the worst Carcassonne tiles that have ever been printed.

SD: Hello, HiG. We want another exclusive promo. Our last one was attractive and had interesting gameplay; however, this time we want a couple of tiles that do almost nothing interesting. Instead, we want our boring text-logo to absolutely dominate the tiles in a big, self-indulgent way that sets a new standard for injecting ugliness into the game right from the first turn.

HiG: Sure! We'll be happy to print for you whatever crap you need once your check clears! As you know, our addicts will buy literally anything that says Carcassonne on it. Now, they will probably almost never play these goofy tiles, so if your goal is brand exposure then this might not meet that goal. But if you just want to sell magazines, then this will probably do the trick.

Whilst they aren’t the prettiest tiles, I am still putting them in my game, but I am not using them as starting g times, too dull for that.
