Thanks again for all the helpful suggestions. I think I have made all of the corrections as noted, and here is the updated file:

I realize that we don't have the actual, "official" English rules yet, but it's nice to have this (meager) translation until then!

Thanks wamboyil,
the rule looks great... - especially the rule for the shepherd and the sheep...

Obervet was not online yet. But I think he can use your translation for the next CAR.

The other details of the rules - my first look of them - I don't find any mistakes so far.

How does wamboyil not have more merit points by now? +1 from me. Great work!

At the end of the rules, "he can no longer distinguish..." doesn't flow very well in English. It does make sense to an English speaker, it's just not a phrase that an English speaking person would choose. In English we might say, "The sheep (and shepherd) simply look too delicious to the dragon that, unfortunately, he can't tell the difference..."

Z-Man Games just posted an image of the English box for the new expansion, and it looks like (for some unknown reason), they have decided to use "Hills & Sheep" as their official name for this expansion, even though "Schafe und Huegel" translates to "Sheep and Hills". So I have updated my Engliah translation of the rules file to match the name change, and here is the link:

I know to some it's a minor change, but that's how I am.

I was thinking how maybe a proper English title would be having objects first and living latter, hence Hills and Sheep.
Then again, it's called The Lord of the Rings so that falls apart.

Could also be it sounds better in English but I see either way as a funny title.

I can't think of a good reason for changing the name from "Sheep & Hills" to "Hills & Sheep" other than somebody thought it rolls off the tongue better.

Yeah, I prefer Sheep and Hills too.

Sheep and Hills (err, Hills and Sheep) seems to be available on Amazon.de, with 2-4 week shipping time at the moment. Has anyone bought it yet?

The production of the 9th expansion was running last week. At the begin of this week HiG got the first finished product.

Here is a link to a picture from HiG twitter:

Sheep and Hills - finished product

In the next two weeks we can buy the 9th expansion here in Germany.

I can not wait to have it, really nice.

I was expecting more tiles. Then I realised it's an expansion.

The three sided road with one road all by itself end and the other two from side to side is really a great tile design and will take the farm-war to a whole new level.

I did see that listing at amazon.de, but I'm going to wait until it actually lists as "in stock at Amazon" before I order it. It's in my "shopping cart" however! Can't wait!

At CarcF the members get here and there answers.
Some will get this expansion perhaps next week, some in the middle of April...

We all are still waiting for our "Sheep and Hills" (German: Schafe und Huegel).
