Essen 2017 promo tile
« on: October 22, 2015, 08:00:30 AM »
Just found this on eBay.de...

Official or a good fake?

Someone pointed this out to me recently so I've been following it, and I think there's been discussion on CarcF too. But I didn't post anything about it here in case anyone here was bidding on it and didn't want the competition driving the price up! :@

I think it looks too good to be a fake. I would imagine that HiG got all of their special "Spiel" tiles printed at the same time for 2014 and subsequent years to come, and this 2017 tile accidentally got mixed in and fell into someone's bag.

I won't be bidding on it as it'll be free in a few years and I can manage without it until then! O:-)

Wow, what Idi** did bid 70 Euros for that tile?! Seriously! In two years it will be for free.  :@

It is exactly like Dan said. HiG produced alle the tiles for the coming years at once and some of the tiles got mixed up a little bit. One of the CarcF members was nearly given a 2016 tile, but the seller found out and swapped the tile just before giving it to the buyer.

I'm sure we'll see replicates rearing their head soon enough too.  Probably from the person who paid 70Euros for it!!!

I couldn't own a spiel 17 tile without first having spiel 15 and 16.

70 Euros seems cheap in comparison to this:

Welcome to Carcassonne Central GGto!

We're a friendly bunch - but we might be a tad jealous of your accidental fortune :)

This looks like the second spiel 17 tile that was accidently given out.  There was at least one 2016 tile too.  We think they must all belong to a palette of tiles and the wrong one was popped!

I'd happily swap you for a 2015 tile, if you wanted one ;)
