After a long ocean voyage, Sokol has finally arrived at Carcassonne Central's North American regional headquarters. We're looking forward to adding this to our next game of Zamek.

Sokol is an updated version of the Falcon Expansion for Zamek, which itself is an updated version of Carcassonne: The Castle. Both were published exclusively in Poland by nasza-klasa.pl / nk.pl. In the first photo, you can see the relative size of the two boxes. The box for Sokol is designed to fit inside the Zamek box, as you'll see in the third photo. In the second photo, you can see the contents of the Sokol box. In the third photo, you can see how everything fits into the Zamek box. The instruction booklet and castle wall scoring track fit on top of the insert, and there's also room for a tile bag if you prefer that to drawing from stacks. Keep reading to find out how you can add one to your game!

Where can I buy the game?
Zamek: https://nk.com.pl/zamek/p2737.html
Sokol: https://nk.com.pl/zamek-----dodatek-sokol/p3003.html

Help! The rules are in Polish!

No, and neither does most of the English-speaking world. I should have given a link to the wiki, but I'm also quite fond of the English PDF files because I made them.

Understand I also speak with @Snearone in English even that Slovak and Polish are similar. But I have not much experience with Polish and Snearone zero with Slovak

So it's safe to use English

The slow boat from China finally arrived with tile bags for Hunters & Gatherers! The green bag (top left) is from a previous order and was designed by quevy. The other three bags were designed by me and are what came today in the post. The large-size bags are the regular tile bags, and the medium-size bags are for the bonus/menhir tiles.

All tile bag designs shown above, as well as many others, can be found in this Geeklist: https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/190164/direct-links-artscowcowcow-draw-bag-designs (note that some are in the comments of the list entries)

A late afternoon courier delivery brought another Carcassonne-related item: a custom 110-piece puzzle (8”x10”) depicting the folk tale of Lady Carcas ending a siege by tossing a pig over the wall.

A matching postcard is also en route. You can get your own puzzle here: https://www.zazzle.ca/france_french_vintage_medieval_carcassonne_jigsaw_puzzle-116151557341613359

I think the 11x14 upgrade (252 pieces) at $2.40 would be worthwhile if you want more of a challenge. I’m happy with only 110 pieces; I was able to complete this puzzle in less than 15 minutes. The pieces don’t go together as snuggly as I would like, but they appear to be more durable than the puzzles of my youth.
