Now that you found everything  ;) I would like to stress again that this was the making of 14 people!!

Everybody contributed / took their part in the logistics!

To my surprise, my second slice contained another prize.... A blue meeple. The yellow meeple has a friend. Yaaaay!  :blue-meeple: :yellow-meeple:

So you found only two? I though it will be more... After all when the cake is delicious, you can't not devour it  ^-^
Good thing you didn't chip your tooth on it, would be very unfortunate, Roscón de Reyes traditionally have only one figurine, so the appearance of more can actually be quite a surprise.

Thanks for fantastic quiz. It made me dig dip in the rules, especially of the expansions, which I don't have and haven't played.

I am definitely the one who took the longest, but I haven't learnt about this quiz until 12th December.

Thank you all for your support and enthusiam...

Hope that those headaches are gone now after such a hectic December...  >:D

This afternoon we found the final surprise in the second to last slice of cake... You made us very happy with all these dear surprises.

It was really a surprising surprise to find more than one prize... He he he!

No teeth were chipped during the enjoyment of the "roscón" cake... We have developed a sixth sense to detect any surprises before chewing hard. ;)

Hi @Ainka-in-love !

Congrats on your first post! Hope you the questions didn't drive you crazy...

Yes! The devil is in the details. An I think this is a fun way to explore all the nuances hidden in the rules and he clarifications we have. >:D

To everyone who has participated in the Advent Quizz:

You know that one of the prices for the winner was a Spiel22 tile and @corinthiens13 has generously offered to give it to me because he already has one.

Same goes for me: I already have one and I believe most participants of this year's Advent Quizz already have one.

But if there are participants who do not have a Spiel 22 tile yet and would like to have it, please let me know via PM.

From all the requests, I will pick one (I already have my criteria fixed but will not tell  >:D) and Meepledrone will send it to that person, agreed?  :D

Last chance: if you are a participant in this year's Advent Quizz and do not have a Spiel'22 yet and want a chance to get one, please send me a PM

by the end of this Sunday January 15th - 23.59 in your time zone is fine :)

I will announce the winner on Monday evening my time.

FYI: I have already received 4 requests.

It seems that the plotting and scheming has no end on this forum...

I received last night a mysterious PM disclosing a custom tile where I'm standing in a field with a roscon cake from a bakery ("pasteleria" in Spanish) in the city...

I can't stop admiring all the work put in this tile. Thank you so much guys, and especially @Challa007, for leading these "terrible" initiatives. All this made me extremely happy...  ;D ;D ;D

Behold and enjoy it as much as I do (you may click on the image to zoom in):

Believe it or not, the prize and the "little something" items are on their way to you, esteemed participants...

I only spent 3h at the post office to get everything sorted out... Well, I also posted some other stuff pending to be sent... 27 items in total. Not bad for an afternoon! ;)

I will send you all your tracking numbers by PM.

So pay attention to your mailboxes!

Thank you so much for participating and thank you again for the wonderful surprises after the Advent Quiz!!!

Hope you like it!!! ^-^
