They have also released the festival 20 hahaha Everything completely predictable. Stickers for meeples again?I still have some hope for the rest of the 20th anniversary stuff ... Will I have to wait for a really special 100th anniversary limited edition? Or will it remain the same with festival 100?Quote from: oldbonz on January 21, 2021, 08:22:42 AMI have the impression that for some it smacks of disappointmentAdmittedly I've only been playing Carcassonne since July 2012, but compared to most other special releases I've seen over that time I'd say that this one is actually quite remarkable if the contents list we've seen so far are as described. It would be unremarkable if it was just a special edition of the basic game with no additional content, or maybe a re-release of something we already knew about.It might not meet some of the expectations that some people had, but most of those were never going to happen for various reasons that you can find if you explore back through some of the previous threads we've had here whenever anything new is released. With this in mind, I'm quite surprised that it includes a new version of the River ("River 4" or "River 1c"?) with extra tiles AND a new mini expansion. The special meeples are a bit of a novelty, maybe not worth much to those who are looking specifically for new content but a nice touch nonetheless. And the special finish on the tiles and hidden easter eggs? Hmm. I don't know. But I'm intrigued!To say that it's 20 years of Carcassonne wasted is quite a big thing, and potentially quite hurtful to the people who have worked on bringing this new box to market. We all had/ have different expectations; just because yours weren't met doesn't mean it wasn't a worthwhile venture or something that the majority of fans might enjoy owning.

I understand the business mentality but we are talking about 20 years of carcassonne. Honestly with what is known about the edition:Sincerely, do you think it's something that has completely surprised you? or is it not familiar to the above edited?I understand that there are people who like to buy the same or very similar with little margin of variation over and over, but understand that there are people who expect something truly amazing when it comes to such important dates. If you think that everyone loves this new edition except me, I think you haven't read other comments... Many people aren't going to buy it directly. In my case, I probably bought it for what these 20 years mean, rather than for the edition itself.
There are still things to be announced ... Maybe some really exclusive limited edition?In my case, I've been collecting carcassonne since it came out in 2001. For dates as important as a 20th anniversary, at least I ask for something really memorable, it's not asking too much ...

Well said Willem We may want to consider bundling a shipment to the UK
