Thanks for the info, though that doesn't change the fact that I want those four tiles.

The new tiles are replaced by 4 of the "river 1", I think the name remains the same, I have not seen the bifurcation, the river Alternative 1. You can find the list shown on CarcF.

Can you send me a link to the CarcForum article. I couldn't find it under Big Box 5. Thanks!

FOUR NEW TILES!!! WTF?! I really hope these tiles are available elsewhere.

Exactly what went through my mind...like a dull screwdriver...

Well, they haven't let us down yet. Every single expansion element has become available, albeit some much later than others. The Festival was finally sold on Cundco more than a year after the compilation released.

Thanks quevy.
So only 12 tiles from Wheel of Fortune. I feel that significantly undermines the value of gambling on the wheel. Kind of unfortunate. I like the four new river tiles, especially with the pre-printed sheep on them. I noticed, though, that the watermark is still missing from the one hill tile. And no new watermark for the River...I was certain that was the icon that kettlefish previewed in the admin forum.

Any news on the 7-8 player rule changes, if any?

I see the watermark on the tiles. Zoom

I think the 9 tiles of the expansion have not been updated on the other list, I think certainly the watermark will be placed on tile hill.

Was this an official link or a private one? I can't see any in this thread and now I am quite curious!

The BigBox5:

The basic game has some symbols of WoF.
The Expansion Wheel of Fortune has the starting tile and 12 tiles with the watermark of the Wheel of Fortune.
The River I is special with watermark and four tiles included symbols of Sheep and Hills.

The tiles have a nice yellow green.

In the rule book you have the 8 colours and also the wooden figures.

Sorry, I can't post pictures from here...

They totally had me in when I thought all of Wheel of fortune would come with it but now I have serious doubts. Since I have almost everything in this box, I only wanted this for expansion 9, the new 4 river tiles and a few repeated Wheel of fortune tiles. and the rest (as much as posible) for repurposing for fan expansions, etc. Now it might just be cheaper to get expansion 9 directly and a buch of blanks from cundco shop.

About 7-8 player rules, I don't think they might change anything. Anyway, even though it's posible to play 7-8 players, even 12 etc, imho it's not optimal, it just takes too long for your turn to arrive plus it makes strategy less of an option, since you cannot rely on the chance of getting a tile you want.

Well, as I have no interest in purchasing this Big Box, I do hope the alternative River tiles will be available at a later date from Cundco or something.
