I received a second copy of Scoville in the mail yesterday. Very strange. I ordered the game via the recent Kickstarter and I received my first copy early in March and it was shipped from China. This one came from Australia. I think somebody got their distribution addresses mixed up. I've contacted them to figure out what they want me to do with #2.

Ooo, King of the Beast edition. I wish there were a way for previous owners of Zooloretto to get the Lions. Like a replacement service option like CundCo. In fact, I would want enough to work with the expansions, too (although getting one with an [X] back for Boss would be impossible, I imagine).

I tried to do what you said in the Zooloretto thread, but the Exotic expansion is almost impossible to find here. 

Also I am giving you a merit for the print a play work you have done on BGG.  It was cool seeing your guide linked to from the game creator's website.

Happy day!

Finally a copy of Tunnels and a new game.

Well, slight used game of Citrus from the BGG market place. The previous owner was the prolific BGG blogger Milena, not sure if anyone has seen her stuff. She is known for long thorough reports with loads of great - game photos.

Wanna play Carc? Can we add just one more expansion?

No problem. I saw a need and filled it. Oddly, I ended up sending my copy of Zooloretto home with my in-laws. My partner just couldn't win at the game and was growing tired of losing. Michael Schacht is awesome. I've emailed back and forth with him for a few years now and I'm on his holiday postcard mailing list. Apparently if you play against him on his website, he will reward you with a rare Zooloretto expansion tile. I haven't done it yet, but I plan to sometime soon.

Saturday, tunnels!!  Sunday!?!?!?,CCI!!!!!  Not sure how the CundCo package envelope arrived to my door (and not my mailbox) on a Sunday!  Maybe one of my neighbors got it by accident and was nice enough to put it at my door.  Anyway thank you whoever it was!! 

Merit to Valheru for the CCI info!!!!      and merit to Kettlefish for the Tunnels info!!!

Two expansions that I honestly thought I'd never ever buy because of the going rates, and I was ok with that.  But...... thanks to Valheru and Kettlefish I got them both in one weekend for a fraction of the cost!!!!  :green-meeple: :(y)  Big thanks to you guys!!
Who got a smudge on the tile?

Could somebody who received the Corn Circles I expansion compare the size of the Corn watermark to that of Corn Circles II's watermark? I have an original CCI expansion and the icons are quite a bit larger than the CCII icons (about twice the size). Is that still the case? If not, then these CCI tiles represent a reprint with some improvements. In the image you posted, JoeSesquipedalian, they look smaller.

In my copy of CC1 the watermarks were still larger than those in CC2.

Thanks for checking, I just wanted to make sure.

Two orders have been delivered today! So 12,5 expasions have been added to my CARcollection. Special thanks for Paul whose letter with Besiegers, Cloisters, La Porxada and 15-Essen card was first: the letter was delivered from Sweden to Russia in 6 (!) days only and all tiles were gently packed.
