What happens with the Spiel tile 2021? In 2020 it was on 5 October (https://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=4816.0).
-
It’s released at Essen SPIEL. Last year the festival was moved online so the promos weren’t announced the same way. You’ve got to wait for the festival to start and for someone to post this year’s (hopefully last) promo tile.
-
Why last?
It's one of the motivation to go to Essen. HiG will be mad to stop to stop it.
-
When will Essen Spiel 2021 take place?
-
From October 14th to 17th, that is, it starts in a couple of days. ;D
-
That means that the tile will not be available on Cundco?
-
We don't know if next week the Spiel'21 tile will be available on CundCo. In early December it will be available for sure.

In december it's +- arround 6th December. Which is celebrating St. Nicolaus and children are getting sweets to their boots or "coal and onion, depends if they were good or bad onver the last year. So it's small "gift" for us.
-
So it's small "gift" for us.
A small gift that requires a minimum €20 purchase. This has gotten harder and harder to meet since shipping for the maps is a fortune and I already own every game component for Carcassonne. Every year it’s another struggle to get up to €20 (+shipping that often costs the same or more), all so I can get one tile. That’s why I hope this is the last year of Spiel tiles. They’re so exploitative. Maybe for Germans everything is cheap and easy, but shipping internationally has increased substantially over the past year and I can’t keep trying to find enough stuff to buy each year.

Same feeling for me... Is there no other way to share those tiles?
And why not a partnership with one (or several) fan site(s) dedicated to this game and its expansions, during a game over the festive season and promoting the collection with why not possible interactions, etc.? Do you see where I'm going with this? O:-)

Hello
Here the new tile (on an Instagram stories)

Looks nice, but sadly not very creative as the design is very similar to the 2014 tile.
And there's no fancy bridge or grass spot to make us ask tons of questions to HiG :yellow-meeple:
-
Not my picture, but here's a bit more of a close up:

Now that is a strangely scaled tile! People are as tall as the walls!
-
Interesting choice of flags, and omissions
-
Lazy and lame design.
-
Hmm, well that's... dissapointing :'( I guess at least they are playing the tournament.
-

I wonder how did they choose the flags, any idea ? Countries with an official Carcassonne publisher ?

That must be wrong. And that is what a carcassonne championship looks like, and all the countries with a carcassonne world champion is included.
-
Lazy and lame design.
You have no idea what the criteria was for the designer to create the tile. Looks to me like someone spent a long time fitting everything together and maintaining the perspective effectively. There's a lot of detail in the tile which makes the Spiel Tiles the most interesting.

Do you know why they use same tile like 14? Any explanation? Maybe some history behind?

Only Anne Pätzke knows... But she may have signed an NDA... >:D
-
They are a bit late for the action on cundco to include the tile for any order > 20€ right ?
-
Still desperately waiting to order this tile ::)
-
It has been confirmed in an email that the tile will be available at their Nicolaus promotion. No date was given, but this usually runs late November, early December
-
Counting the microseconds... Hoping the 20th Anniversary products are finally revealed... At least before the 25th Anniversary! >:D

-
you mean it's on top of the anniversary edition ? I thought that edition was it, nothing more.
-
It was hinted at that there would be more Anniversary products to be released this year. But so far nothing in the theme has been announced, other than Carc20.
So let's see if they decide to have something new at the end of the month!
-
Big Box 2021 is of the 20th Anniversary product line, it includes the same stylized Carcassonne font.
-
Is there any picture of it?
-
Yes, there's another thread in the News Category.
-
Missed it. Thanks!

As does the picture that showed us ‘The Gifts’, but why they have not put either on the anniversary site is beyond me.

HiG is rather slow at updating their website. They tend to advertise their new stuff on Facebook or Instagram and then update their site much later. Don't ask me why. ???
-
No news yet?
-
No news yet.
I do expect their Nicolaus promotion won't start until next week at earliest.
It is based on the December 6th date (the day Saint Nicolaus died), and in previous years they have released the promotion to lead up to that.
So we'll have to be patient just a little longer
-
HiG announced via their socials today that starting Monday, the 29th, you’ll be able to get the Spiel ‘21 tile with a 20 euro purchase as a part of their advent sale.
-
Thank you for the heads up!
+1 for you

Anyone knows if this spiel tile comes in the new rounded tiles, or in the perfect "old" square tiles.
Thanks! :red-meeple:
-
From what we've seen, it's the more squared edges

Just +-24 hours :D (I hope that I'm not wrong, because I will not have anything to buy to reach 20EUR for Spiel tile :(
-
What about Carcassonne v3.0 and Big Box v3.0?
-
The Spiel '21 tile has square edges because it was printed in 2018 on a single sheet with 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 tiles. This was the same thing they did in 2014 with the first four (dark city) years of the tiles. If they continue to do Spiel tiles next year, they will presumably start with yet another four-year sheet that will have the new crowded city style with rounded corners.
For all intents and purposes, the Spiel '21 tile is the last of the Carcassonne 2.1 tiles that will be released by Hans im Glück.
Considering they revamped the art style in 2017 (made the cities lighter in colour), yet still had older art for their Spiel tile, and the same thing has happened this year with the rounded corners and more crowded cities, I really hope they've learned to either NOT do Spiel tiles at all, or to print out only a single years' run at a time to allow them to make format/style changes more rapidly.

Actually all the speil tiles from 2018 onwards are individual runs.

Does everyone else assume like I do that the date has a typo?
It says "diesmal am 29.12.2021" at the link below. Surely the advent event starts 29.11.2021 not 29.12.2021.

It must be a typo. It should be 29.11.2021 or everything would be available after Christmas. :o
-
Especially as the texts says that Saint Nicolaus and Christmas are coming close
-
Maybe they meant "coming to a close"

We have just to buy 20+, or it is supposed to show up as 0,01 somewhere else?

You need to add the tile to your order yourself. It shows as an item, for 0.01
-
It is available right now on Cundco :D

Indeed! The Signposts. It is available right now on Cundco :D
-
And the Spiel 21 tile is already showing as no longer available.
I hope everyone managed to get their order in on time!
-
Wow that was quick this year!!! All sold out in the first day, Spiel 21, point flags :o
Luckily I have it all 8)
-
Shoot...
Man today has sucked. Woke up fatigued and sick. I've been stressing all day trying to get food shopping done, I can't drive so I rely on deliveries and the app broke down. I forgot to even check my computer. Now I have no food and no spiel tile. Hopefully there is a second wave.. I remember that happening before.
-
in previous years we've seen the Spiel tile become available just after Essen, and then again for the Advent. However, it could be that due to the very low amount of Spiel tiles they had left, they did not make them available in October.
I hope for those who did not have the chance to obtain one now, that they make the Spiel 21 tile available again though!
-
That may be what I was thinking of. Just adding to the list of Spiel 14, 15, 16 and 18 I am going to have to empty a paycheck on :'(

Sorry to see that you missed the Spiel 21. We seem to be lacking the same array of 2014-18 Spiel tiles and as I see the trully exorbitant prices of those on offer by profiteers, I slowly realize that I may go without them. This lovely little bonus for the fans seems to have turned in a way into something quite else.
-
I lucked out and got the spiel 2021, but I don’t have spiel 2014-2017. I would love to have them, but not at the exorbitant prices they are going for. It would be really nice if they would just do another print run of them, but I doubt it will happen.
I did get an email stating that due to the pandemic and lack of frequent flights, the package may be sent by boat and take a few months to arrive.
-
Same, missing 14 and 15, but prices are too high.
-
I like the idea of "hard-to-find exclusives," but it's frustrating how often these types of occurrences end up leaving genuine fans disappointed.
-
The tile is nicely designed. I was in SPIEL in 2014 and 2015 for the World Championship and get this year's tile from our representative in Essen this year. I missed those in the years in between.
-
The only tile I’m missing is 2015, but it’s impossible to find.
