We've not seen the rules yet, so we've got nothing to check against.

Yes Decar,
but it is a surprise that the yellow and the red hut are placed on different features. I assume that one of them isn't onto the right place.

I've looked into the rules for the other spin-off games like Hunters&Gatherers, Over Hills&Dales and Goldrush. The huts, tents and stables are placed on only one feature in these games.

Interesting. So the yellow hut is wrong, not the red hut?

It's not clear if jungles are scored or act like USUS where the hut scores animals perhaps.

An image for the Carcassonne Amazonas was posted on Twitter here

Is this what the (partial of) the box will look like?

Awesome. Have we found out how the tiles will look like yet? Hopefully they match Hunters and Gatherers for, uhm, artwork. :)

Lol. Forced me to read all the post again. But finally got to the bgg.com site from one of them. :D

The tiles looks like the result of mixing Hunters and Gatherers with Cacao. :)

I am allowed to tell following information:

This spin-off game has a scoring board which has very beautiful graphics.

If you look carefully to the picture of the tiles you will see that - beginning from the left - there are two rows with 4 "tiles" of the Amazonas-river which have blue dividers. I think these 8 tiles are a unique starting tableau.
On one of the "tiles" is a 4-5 and a person-symbol. In my opinion the Amazonas is the scoring track (but without numbers), and if you are 4 or 5 players the ships start at the 3rd "tile". So this looks rather like a racing track: If one ship is at the end of the Amazonas the game is over. I wonder how the ships are moved.

The ships are all on the Amazonas, no one is on one of the smaller rivers. Instead there are yellow icons with a small boat, on one of them is a blue Meeple. I think you use these boat-icons to claim the small rivers.

Notice also the tile with the green boat. This appears to be a double tile (1x2).

Maybe that's what this is for? So there will not be any clashing with the rules. At least not for the known ones. :D
