Title: ZMan release "new" mini-expansions -- Really festival 10??
Post by: theaeblackthorn on February 27, 2018, 10:54:26 AM
Apologies if this is the wrong place, but Zman games have announced a retail release for the School, and the Festival. But will it be festival 10 or 15? The pictures say 10, my logic says 15... but...

Do you think it will be the school in new art? Or the old art as it is now?

" number of promo products are now available through our webstore!"

This is just information about restocking. Funny thing is that I cannot find it in store.

The festival looks like a reprint of the 10-art work:

It just feels strange that they're releasing things that are the old art work? I'm missing festival 10, hence why I'm so interested...  :violet-meeple:

That Festival 10 is definitely the old artwork.  Maybe they found some in a warehouse someplace.  Who knows?
Festival 15 was the new artwork.

I hope it is new art edition. It would be cool if the school was released in the new art. When I talked to the president of asmodee games (company that currently owns ZMAN) [over a year ago] he said that he hopes/intends to release all promo expansions in the USA (if he can obtain the rights to do so) including those never before released in the USA, but to also get them in the new art. So maybe this is the start of those efforts.

If they are released in old art then congratulations to those that are missing them, but I'm still hoping for myself that these will be new art versions.

That would be great, but shipping out of the US is very pricy. I was looking for the festival 10 tiles abd they charge 20 euro :-\

I would say that this is definitely Carc 1.0 stuff. They probably found some stashed away in some closet and decided to sell them. Someone should send them a quick e-mail to find out for sure, though.

Ease your horses :) I'm confident that in case of releasing some old expansions in new art they would make a big deal out of it, with previews, preorders and all marketing shabang, not just casual note about restocking.
