Have anybody noticed that the Crop Circle on Haflings II is just a Circle? Not a Pitchfork, Club or Shield!

How do we play this new Crop Circle? Is it the intention that we shall choose which type of segment it shall affect?

I have no official info but I think we can choose. They made it this way so there is not more of one type than the others.

I read the English translation at boardgamegeek.com and it only says to read the Crop Circles rules for this, which didn't help much in my case. $:-\$

Which brings up another explanation, without the money part.

Google this: mysterious holes around the world

I must do my duty as a moderator, Aenima you can use the edit button instead of making many consecutive posts. Very interesting tile, you should find the rules for it.

aenima · « **Reply #9 on:** October 23, 2014, 01:01:57 PM »

well... the rule:
when a player place a tile with the mysterious hole, every follower (but also every peaces of wood) connected to the street or the field of the tile are removed from the game... in reality they are lost forever... to recall them please contact cundco service.

A bit ontopic again. Are there no rules delivered with them?

The official HiG / Spielbox rules for Halflings says, if I interpreted it correctly, to look up the original Crop Circles rules when using the triangles with the Crop Circles effects.
Which in term, looking up the original Crop Circles rules from both CAR and my very own English and Scandinavian releases, all has no mention of this shape.

I think it's supposed to be a club but they forgot to finish the drawing.

Or, you may choose what you want it to be; what benefits you the most...

Actually, the English version has nothing on the crop circle - the most it has is "Special symbols are to be used with those expansions.". (Paraphrasing, since I didn't bring the magazine with me to the office.) But then it does have a paragraph about the 'Hill'.

And yes, mine arrived yesterday! Will be playing with them tonight.
