i'm a bit surprised they didn't have extra stock back at HQ

My experience with them is limited, but CundCo's organization of orders and shipping being a mess is everything but surprising to me. Even this time, now Mists is available again, after not being available one hour ago?

Please note that the Mists that is showing on the English page, is the German version of the game. It was available before, but they took both the English and German copy off.
The German copy was still available through the german version of the site, and now again through the english version of the site.

The english version of Mists over Carcassonne does not seem to be available currently on cundco

Unsurprisingly messy

I still remember when German Castles C3 came out and no one was sure what version they were selling... not even themselves

How awful has the postage gotten for everyone else? It's nearly $18 just for a mini expansion plus 2 Ukraine tiles. Ordered due to fear of missing out. But postage which used to be reasonable to Australia is now doubling the cost of the order. Paid nearly double the cost of a large expansion all up. Was really hoping the Essen tile would be available to soften the blow. Apparently not!

You can order! Ukraine card is available!

I emailed Cundco about the Spiel 2022 tile and got this

Unfortunately it's not possible, the SPIEL tile is only available during the fair and our advent-season-sale.

So I wouldn’t hold back on getting the Ukraine tile
Still 20 euros postage to the U.K. is bonkers

I ended up paying 50 euros for shipping, but that was because I ordered a Ukraine map.

One slightly unrelated question: how come the Ukraine map got C2 style and not C3's?

Scott · « **Reply #53 on:** October 15, 2022, 07:37:09 AM »

Because it was designed by someone on the Czech forum.

Is that actually true?

Willem · « **Reply #55 on:** October 15, 2022, 09:17:33 AM »

There was a fan-version of a Ukraine map that was made by someone on the Czech forum. No idea if this is where HiG got the idea from, but it could be..

Alternatively, they have had the graphics for map-squares already in C2, so the easiest thing to do is to use those for this new map

DIN0 · « **Reply #56 on:** October 15, 2022, 12:50:21 PM »

That seems plausible. So the actual map being sold was not designed by CZ forum member.

Chmura · « **Reply #57 on:** October 15, 2022, 02:02:25 PM »

The map of Ukraine is really not from the Czech forum.

I don't think we would have really come up with a combination of C3 guide and C2 map as nicely as HIG did!

I believe that the Map of Ukraine was created by a Ukrainian fan of Carcassonne.

I think Chmura is right. Here is an image posted by Maksym Tkachenko around one year ago. However, I don't know if Maksym is member of the Czech forum, maybe.
