There will be another announcement tomorrow, which I expect will be something different than these reprints....
Let's see!

Yep! The Snakes& Ladders scoretrack will be available tomorrow!
It will be a sticker, which you can apply to the back of an existing scoretrack (or the front, if you want)

Ha ha, is it to play a ladder game, or a Carcassonne game with twisted scoring?

I really don't like the way the new Watchtowers look.

From what I understand Peasants was already 3.0. However if you look on Cundco's main page is says the are available again and in a "partly new" 3.0 guise.

Anyhow, Spring sale is completely underwhelming. Was really hoping for a wonders of humanity set 2. Guess i'm not buying anything until Christmas now. Sure the scoreboard and Spring tiles will still be around then.

Speaking of the spring tiles, is everyone of the understanding that there's 3 more sets as part of this series? and given they only release new expansions twice a year, do we expect multiple winter and fall in the fall sale and then summer next spring? All well and good releasing spring in spring, but they don't release new sets in winter/summer, right?

Sort of disappointing, yes, but I ordered them all :-( (Spring, Tower, Fruit and Snake).

Are the snake and ladder rules only valid up to 50 points? After that they aren't valid or are they counted? It's not in the rules.

In the rules, it is written that snakes and spikes are not taken into account only in the final scoring. it follows that even after exceeding 50 points, the rules are the same!

Yes, there will be three more mini expansions in the Four Seasons series. My guess would be that they will release the summer tiles this summer, the fall tiles at Essen, and the winter tiles during the Advent sale. The big question is what the winter tiles will look like. Will they look like Winter edition tiles and we're expected to ignore the artwork differences? Or will they provide transition between winter and non-winter like the fan expansion which already exists?
