Actually, I just got the email from them. Here's the image that was included:


"Game Components:
* 1 Wooden figure: "Friday" (not sure why the figure is named "Friday" still. I can't find any reference for this.)
* 6 Tiles with symbols and different backs

Game Preparation:
* All rules for Carcassonne: South Sea remain unchanged...."

That's all that this preview shows, sadly.

Any details on Freitag ("Friday") expansion for South Seas? A photo? Rules? Potential English availability?

Also, are any of the new stickers gameplay-related (or similar, such as the meeple stickers) or are they just promotional material?

I figured as much, and I actually suggested Scout with H&G in a combo box, but she didn't comment on that.

We have now two versions of Windroses (I + II) and they should work fine together.

I don't think the differences are quite so great still to call them Windroses I & II. I'd say it's more similar to The Cult (Spielbox) vs. The Cult (RGG) where there was an extra tile in the latter. The tiles are still identical just with two letters missing from each. I feel the tiles must be different for it to become a wholly new expansion (as with The River I&II and Corn Circles I&II).

Not positive what you mean there. Does that mean that the windrose tiles just has to go on the East or West of the compass tile, rather than in a specific quarter of the board? If so, that is definitely a rule change. It opens up the possibilities for bonus points greatly. It also means that the original tiles and the new tiles have different purposes, which is kind of cool. They can all be mixed in but must be placed differently to earn the bonus points.

Ah clever - what a neat solution to the language problem!

I'm glad I ordered this now, the perfectionist in me didn't like having non-English in game text :)

Going to have to agree with you. It may be "proper" to use an E and an O for East and West, but to English eyes it is just strange. Using N/S on everything with no E/O seems to make much more sense. Ordered!

(Too bad they didn't add a watermark... :-()

In short: They only marked N(orth) and S(outh), East and West got no letters.

I guess that fixes the problem of confusing English-speakers who didn't know what "O" meant.

Here's some potentially tragic news:

Hello Derek,

We do not plan to release Carcassonne the Catapult, or Carcassonne Wheel of Fortune.
Hunters & Gatherers is currently being discussed, but I do not know if the possibility of including the Scout expansion is also being discussed.
As for Carcassonne The Castle, it is not in the plans at the moment.

Have a great day,

While Catapult won't be much of a loss, I'm a bit surprised that they have no hard plans about Hunters & Gatherers or the Castle.

I love the concept of The Frozen River. Make tiles that match the original River I or II but freeze them over so they don't actually divide features.

Maybe they'll just have the Spielbox water marks on them?

That would make it an instant buy for me since I specifically collect Pentagon-watermarked Carcassonne tiles. I treat them all as one hectic expansion (plus some additional Compass Rose tiles would be nice). I like how the expansion is being paired with two new Nations promo cards, a game which has yet to be released. I should know, I won the BGG contest and really want my game!

It never came out.
The swedish versions of the 6 minis, even refer to this expansion in the rules for the Corn Circle tile, even though the expansion never was released.

The English edition refers to it to inside each and every box of Minis.

Even copying and pasting didn't work for me. I had to copy the item code and open a different item them change the code. Weird. In any case, I was hoping it was for the whole box. I'm not going to pay

I think they're both gone already because the links don't work.
