Title: Spiel ‘22 tile at Cundco this Friday (the 18th)?
Post by: DaFees on November 14, 2022, 04:50:14 PM
The other day HiG made a post on IG ( https://www.instagram.com/p/CkvzgwHKTKc/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= ) speaking about scammers trying to profit off of the Ukraine map and tile. In this post the very last line (easily missed) says, “On November 18th you will get the chance to get a special tile from our official site”

In fairness, it does only say “special tile” but what else could be special but the Spiel ‘22 tile?

Possibly so. The Christmas season is finally here!

Thanks for sharing.

And you just need to read the German part to make it clear : "Ab 18. November werdet ihr die Chance bekommen ein 2022 Essen Plättchen über uns zu erhalten."  :yellow-meeple:

And for those of us too lazy for Google Translate: “Starting November 18th, you will have the chance to receive a 2022 Essen tile through us.”

Cool, a bit frustrating that I wasted paying postage for fear of missing the Ukraine tile. At least I didn’t buy Mists last time so there’s still something I want

It seems like I was limited to 5 items to keep the shipping to North America reasonable.  I can't wait to try the Bets and throw the Ukraine tile in the game.

Thanks for the update Willem! :violet-meeple:
One of the items in the AdventBox is: 6 tableaux from the Carcassonne base game 2.1 (72 tiles).
I wonder why is it called 2.1, is there any difference between these tiles and the regular 2nd edition base game?

Depends when you bought your C2 base game. The first releases had darker dirt in the cities, which was corrected in the most recent release.

I bought the 22 tile and mists over Carcassonne. It as 16 euros of shipping costs and I live only a few hours drive from where they send it  :P Seems a bit much, but at least we'll have the 22 tile  ;D

Thanks for the clarification Scott!
By the way, do you guys know what is the official versioning for the Spiel tiles? Are all 9. of them ('14-'22) count as v2 or were they shifted to v3 at some point?
Can't find any info on that matter and I'm wondering how to organize them properly ;)

Spiel 14-17 were printed together, and they are C2.0
From then on, they seem to have been printed year by year, and have been in C2.1
The Spiel 22 tile is tricky to say. I keep my Spiel tiles all together in my C2 playset, but you can also call it C3.

Spiel 21 was definitely C2.1

Ordered. And yes, more than 15€ is a little bit overpriced.

Finally ordered everything from the past several months! I can breathe a sigh of relief that they still had the Ukraine stuff in stock. The only thing I wasn’t able to order was a set of 50/100 tiles in the current art style. I wanted to get it for my 20th Anniversary Edition, but they’re out of stock for some reason.

Because I bought two maps and Mists, my shipping was always going to be in the €50+ category, so I got as much as was reasonable. Total order was $140 USD, so quite a haul. Hopefully I don’t need to order anything from them again until next year.

Order placed right after Willem's post, thanks for the update!

The Advent package wasn't really interesting this year, no new mini-expansion?  ???
Si I didn't order it but ordered some more Ukraine tiles to reach 20 Euros and grab a spiel 2022 tile.

If anyone's interested, I'll sell the extra Ukraine tiles for 300 Euros  >:D
Just kidding, for 3 Euros :yellow-meeple:

Everything I needed I had already ordered when the autumn stuff was released. But I really wanted the Spiel 2022 tile, so I ordered some really random stuff to reach 20€

Just got back from a week long business trip so hadn't been checking the forum daily.  Glad I checked this morning!   I didn't think the Christmas sale would start so early.

Interesting how last year the Spiel '21 tiles sold out within a few hours of release, yet this year they are still available a few days after launch and the supply doesn't seem to have been impacted at all by the second game fair a few weeks back. This suggests to me that Hans im Gluck has finally increased the print runs of these rare and highly-sought annual tiles.

On a personal note, now I'm a little bitter that I had to wake up at 5:00 am on Saturday when I could have just ordered them when I woke up. At least I will retain a complete set of Spiel '22 tiles, even if my credit card bill is crying from the purchase.

It is really quite astonishing how long the Spiel '22 tile lasts on the Advent offer. Few weeks back, i was biting my nails, asking myslef if the Ukraine Promo tile would last until the Advent sale. In the end, to stay on the safe side and avoid potentially seeking it on the second-hand market, I ordered three pieces right on ... only to see that it remained on sale until today with no shortage. Which is actually good news as it is a release that has a respectable purpose.

Then, I was quite sure that the Spiel '22 tile will be harvested within hours as it happened last year, especially since another give-away in Munich took place beside the usual Essen occassion. When the date and time leaked, I prepared and then spent extra hour at work on Friday afternoon, waiting anxiously (and gaining undeserved credit from my boss who noticed me staying in the office for that long...). When the sale started, I even made a mistake at first ordering as I wrongly included the postage into the 20-Euro limit, panicking for a while and then re-ordering with one item more in a cold sweat, finally taking a deep relieved breath when my updated order was confirmed and the previous, insuffcient one swiftly cancelled with immediate money return - great job this time, Cundo customer service! ... And now, Monday afternoon, 3 days later, the tile is still on sale :-) Again, it is actually a good thing. I am probably just one of many who feel that the Spiel tiles frenzy got a bit too far last years with scalpers and profiteers offering these items for ridiculously high prices that turned into a collectors´ headache something that was originally meant to be a treat to the Carcassonne community. So I applaud to HiG if they decided to get things back to the ground and released apparently sufficient number of copies.

But if I had to wake up especially for the order as Whaleyland, I may not be that reconciled after all :-)))

The fact that it lasted this long is shocking! A change for the better - last year was trully ridiculous, just ten hours!

A friend of mine just submitted his order and no issues with the Spiel'22... Still in stock. ;D
