Maybe Santa Claus tokens to fire at your cities with the catapult to deliver presents to your meeples would be fun!

I don't have the winter edition of Carcassonne, but I am curious about the Catan expansion (If you zoom into the Catan guy on the box, he seems to be holding a hex with a snow-covered house...)

The Carcassonne promo is 6 tiles. I asked this on Facebook and got that answer.

I did order the Adventcalendar with Essen Pick-up. I am interested in 7 of the 24 promos and figure I could sell the rest of them.

I just hope that none of the promos I'm interested in are one of the already released ones or the one in German. Ah well.

For those interested: I'm after the Catan, Carcassonne, Splendor, Abyss, Burgundy, El Gaucho and Power Grid promo.

A user CarcF published a photograph of promos of Carcassonne, unfortunately I can not find her.

The expansion to the promotional winter edition is ................

Crop Circles.

A knight is sworn to valour.
His heart knows only virtue.
His blade defends the helpless.
His might upholds the weak.
His word speaks only truth.
His wrath undoes the wicked.

I've seen the mini-expansion - it looks nice.

For everyone's information, on the tapatalk app the small text was not small and was at normal size. So maybe another way to hide spoilers is needed.

The real spoiler is here:

When quevy mentioned it, I thought it sounded like a strange visual combination that would not work very well ... and so it is. Off the top of my head, this is the only mini-expansion that requires that the ground be grass and not snow - i.e. it's the expansion that is least suited to the winter edition yet somehow was the first one chosen. Sometimes decisions like this just boggle the mind.

There are forums that have hidden text where you click on it to reveal its content. This would have worked well in the case of spoilers.

Mechanically it's quite a good expansion (assuming the rules have not changed).  It's hard to find, so it makes some sense to have it available in one form.  Thematically it works well: the snow has been cleared to show the grass underneath.  I think this is a welcome mini-expansion.

Will this be available for the common folks? I checked their website it was all sold out but from what I could read these will be available in (certain) stores as well.

Then I guess we'll agree to disagree.  :green-meeple:

The one I would have loved to see is Besiegers. A besieging army failing to cause the city to surrender before winter sets in and being stuck outside the walls with its camps and siege engines under snow could have been amazing in terms of artwork. And if the siege tiles helped offset some of the power of the Gingerbread Man, even better.

Another one I'd like to see is the Ferries adapted for winter. So the transport would be ice transport to travel over frozen lakes. This would be good for both artwork and gameplay, as the Ferries was a very well-received mini-expansion. Equally, a winter edition River with a frozen river would have been a good opportunity for nice artwork.

I honestly think I put more thought into this in the last 10 minutes than anyone else did before choosing the Crop Circles.
