Anywhere have this in stock?
Yes probably only at the coming events & their webshop(cundco.de).
On cundco.de it is non available.
It will be available from March, 26th and at "Spiel doch!" fair the weekend before.

I love the trees, the closeups in the rules are lovely.  But I'm undecided how they look on the tile; they don't seem to match in quite right.  I'll have to reserve judgement until I see the tiles in person.  I love the look of the scoring mechanics, deciding to save them for later or just take the points now.

Well, as I read it, you can take points now by taking the top token from the tile, and then you get the amount as it says in the back of that token
You keep the token in front of you
Later, you can sell these tokens for the value as stated in the rules (so for instance if there's no more tokens, you can still do something when you play a tile next to a tree and place a meeple.

I just feel the trees shouldn't be in the road.  It is ok to close a road for an event like a Farmer's Market, but to let the tree grow in the middle of the road is rather silly.  Plus the trees are by themselves.  Couldn't they have made an orchard?

If you compare the trees to the villages that end roads, those are some extremely big trees!
I'd expect people would come from far and wide to see them!

Oooo, I like the look of this, although almost wish it was bigger. But I guess T&B kinda counts as set collection in a expansion even though its for the same good. Hope its still in stock in a few months. Kinda have to be honest, I'm a little dissapointed its not a expansion for Over Hill & Dale, seems like the pattern is only the Around the World series gets mini expansions.

While I 100% agree that it is lazy of HiG to not work out the rules, I believe these expansions are good for the game because if there are more expansions there are the more ways we have to play the game which allows for every game to be different which helps prevent the game doesn't become stale.

Going to snatch a set + the phantom meeples and the dull transparent ones for scoring.

The images on Cundo.com are a bit odd. The rulesheet says there are 24 fruit tokens, and this is almost certainly correct since it's a real photograph; but the punched photo shows 28 tokens, and the digital mockup shows 37. I wonder why they would go to the extra effort to make both of those product shots misleading?

Could it be that the digital shot was done before printing and it was known how many tokens would be included?

The real photo could just be that they added more tokens to make it look like you get more than you get in reality. Or maybe they just grabbed a 'rough' amount of tokens for the shot. It doesn't look like much time was spent on the shot itself.

Interesting new expansion, pretty "big" mini also with lots of tokens. Can't remember they ever did it like this. (Plague and the tunnel were smaller)

Indeed it looks like that. But I think you will have to go for the text description, where stands 24. As that is mostly the best updated thing from them.
