Yes they could have said: 100 copies remaining.  1 per household.

Paydirt!

The only small problem is spielbox sent me a German copy of 2015/5 instead of English, but I really wanted the expansions so I am happy.  I can at least read the one The plague came in.

Haaaahhahahaahhaha :'( :'( :'( :'( I want a copy!!!

I echo that sentiment!

Just to be clear-  people ordered via the tile replacement, the whole of the Corn Circle I expansion and didn't just get individual tiles, but a whole unpunched sheet with rules? Is that correct?


Certainly what landed here.
Whatever it is, it's probably in the post from Germany...

FOr me it was a punched sheet without the rules. But I really can't complain :D

I finally received yesterday my SPIEL DOCH! magazine with the two Labyrinth tiles. Such a hassle for two tiles. I pre-ordered them but Spielbox sent the magazine to my US billing address. They sent a second copy to me in New Zealand but it has been a month now since the magazine released. Ugh. I hope they start printing SPIEL DOCH! in English soon. It seems far more interesting than Spielbox, to be honest. Spielbox is just about reviewing games, many of which I have little interest in. SPIEL DOCH! is about the hobby itself and that seems much more interesting.

I couldn't agree more.  The one English Spielbox that I received was terrible.  The reviews all sound the same and they don't make a good argument either way as whether a game should be purchased or avoided. 

The Spiel DOCH looked much better.  Decar was nice enough to give me some highlights in the thread about the new tiles.

I mangled my way through the 7wonders duel review and Im not sure. I got the feeling it was all geared up to sell games rather than provide critical reviews.  They didnt seem to have anything bad to say about Duel. It's a great game but it has some flawls for some gamers.  I think if you were on a fence about a game they covered it would be interesting to see pictures and some analysis.

The other articles about game designers did look good though.

Tiles fit nicely into books.  Maybe you can hollow few books out too ;)

May be someone could come up with some clever house rules for those tiles.

That would be considered sacrilege in my family.
