Oh man! I have been checking these forums thinking the Spiel tile but usually we make a new thread. I just put in a order, hopefully since its only been a few days I still get one. I don't think it would allow me to use the voucher if they were out?

Got drawbridges, Monasteries, Spell Circles and Wonders of Humanity.

Meeple flags were going to be too expensive, one year! Fprgot about The School though, adding it to my reminder for next year.

Sory yo hear that... As we were discussing this heavilly on Discord, it seems we forgot to give a big warnign here in a separate topic...

HiG commented all this on their website and their newsletter...

Once the order is placed you could only try to reach hem out by email, but it seems some other people had the same issue and during the initial rush hours, Cundco wouldn't change those orders.

You could try though... Maybe you are luckier than them... $:-\$

Did I read correctly that The Drawbridges does not ship with a rules sheet? Can someone who has received this in their order from Cundco please confirm? And also what about the C3 Leipzig mini-expansion, does that have a rule sheet or not?

The Drawbridges, The Wonders of Humanity and The Spell Circles are delivered in a paper envelope with a QR code linking to the rules on Cundco.

The rules for The Drawbridges can be found here:

And an annotated version on WICA, if you might be interested:

That’s pretty “cheap” of Cundco, considering they’ve increased all their prices for new minis but aren’t printing and including the official rules sheets. Really stingy…..

Yes, maybe they start recognizing that their rules are anyway misleading, and want people discover WICA.

There’s no point shipping rule sheets when we know from past experience that the rules end up being wrong. Much better to send people to a URL where the rules can be updated as necessary. For now that’s a PDF on Cundco’s website, but maybe in future they can just send everyone to WICA.

To be honest. Compare prices of everything in shops and then compare, that Minis were selling for price 5 eur for decade. So now is time to increase price for increasing costs.

What we can do?

1. Accept
2. Not accept it

What happend when we choose 2.? - HiG will stop producing minis.

Just out of curiosity why are you peopel calling "minis" this expansion? I thought "Minis" was the name for Flying Machines, Messages, With & Mage, Boats, Gold, Robbers and Circles. And the others were just minor or smaller expansion

Throughout the Wiki page there are phrases like: “If you have the majority on the road” and “you may move your meeple”. But if I understand the concept of this expansion, it is not always “you” that can move the meeples. It is the player with the single majority on the road.

For example, if you place yellow’s tile from example 2 to complete one of your cities, and the road portion of the tile completes a road that leads to another city, it is the player that has the single majority on that road that gets to move their meeples.

Correct! The rules are a bit ambiguous and it is not clarified until the last sentence of "3. Scoring points."

As you say, only one player can move meeples to a city: the player with the single majority on the road. It is irrelevant who completed the road.

The rules start assuming you are alone on the road and you complete it. After that, they move on to cover several special cases and, at the very end, they address what happens when several players share the majority. At least they included this in the rules.

I'll just wait it out, I don't think it'll be gone for next year's purchase. And joined the Discord! Must have missed that, doesn't hurt to be able to chat with you lovely folk more.
