Wonders of Humanity + River or with "personnal" tiles

[Death Meeple]

Hi all,

Preparing to be a menace for the coming advent quiz, it's time to study the rules!
Is it what I'm doing? Maybe not. Or maybe yes. Who knows? 

I have 2 questions regarding the use of the Wonders of Humanity with other expansions:

1) Playing with WOH, a River expansion and an expansion allowing to earn points during the river placing:
If we are still placing River tiles, and a player gets a Wonder tile (thanks to points earned with the Abbot or the Shephered for example), does he place it on his next turn, even if River tiles are still possible to draw, or shall he wait until the River is completed, and play it on his first turn after the River is completed?

2) Playing with WOH + "personnal tiles" (Halflings, Abbey, Castles in Germany):
With Abu Simbel, when playing with Halflings, Castles in Germany or Abbey, the player has the choice to draw a second tile (and play it or play the one he has already in front of him) or to place one of these special tiles (and keep the tile he has in front of him for next turn), is that correct?

Best regards,

Interesting question, and I never thought about this possibility. But it can happen. When playing more rivers with Abbot I earned around points last game before lat river tile was placed.

Yes, when you draw a second tile, you lose the opportunity to place a tile from your supply, such as Halflings, Abbey, Castles in Germany, or other fan-expansion tiles like Half-Abbey and others.

The first situation happens often to us, for most of our big games actually.
When playing with many tiles and WOH set I, Stonehenge is clearly overpowerfull in comparison to other Wonders (Notre-Dame being the second by default choice, Alhambra and Circus Maximus being absolute no-go), so the target is clearly to get it at all costs. It's the time to shine for the Shephered and the Abbot

Can't wait to try WOH set II, since it seems to bring other powerfull tiles !

Quiz? What quiz? Ha ha ha!

As expected, there is no official clarification about this case. In order to avoid any conflict with the river, the player should take the wonder during the river placement and keep it their supply until the last river tile is placed. Any player with a wonder tile once the river is completd would place their wonder instead of drawing a normal tile. That is, their first tile during the normal phase of the game after the river would be a wonder tile.

2) Playing with WOH + "personnal tiles" (Halflings, Abbey, Castles in Germany):
With Abu Simbel, when playing with Halflings, Castles in Germany or Abbey, the player has the choice to draw a second tile (and play it or play the one he has already in front of him) or to place one of these special tiles (and keep the tile he has in front of him for next turn), is that correct?

Best regards,

That is correct. If you place a Halflings, a Castles in Germany or an Abbey from your supply, the previous tile you may have stays where it is until your next turn, since you are not drawing a new tile.
