Title: The River I Re-Issue Post by: Whaleyland on October 02, 2009, 12:44:01 pm I thought everyone should know that The River (I), which apparently has been withdrawn from the Big Box 2 and the base game, will be available as a stand-alone this Fall. Assuming Fun Again Games (http://www.funagain.com/control/product?product_id=021097) is correct, which it usually is, The River I will be available starting this month (October) and will cost $5.99 in the US. The Product Description notes that "This is the original river expansion for Carcassonne. It was included for a time in the basic game, but will be removed to make it available separately for those who want it. It is 12 tiles, each with a portion of the river. It replaces the starting tile for the basic game in game play." So it sounds like it is going to be an official stand-alone in the US now, not a free bonus expansion with the base game/Big Box. I guess that is both good and bad, depending on how you obtained the base game.

Title: Re: The River I Re-Issue Post by: Whaleyland on October 02, 2009, 08:48:47 pm Will be interesting to see if they add a watermark. Shoot! You're right. If they do, I've got to buy one. Looks like my old River I would then become a Christmas gift for someone. That's what I did with my old Count, King & Robber, and River II. I gave them to my brother-in-law last Christmas after I got a hold of a Count, King and Cult expansion set from Germany. Watermarks make all the difference. I even added little green dots on all my GQ11 tiles...they are the Sharpie expansion! Still, I doubt they will have watermarks. Jay doesn't seem to like adding his own watermarks if HiG doesn't come with them. See: Cult, Siege & Creativity.

Edit: The expansion page (http://riograndegames.com/games.html?id=332) at RGG shows it as a new release. Title: Re: The River I Re-Issue Post by: Whaleyland on October 22, 2009, 04:52:23 am I doubt it, but I wonder if the new River I release includes watermarks?
Title: Re: The River I Re-Issue Post by: Novelty on October 22, 2009, 04:56:38 am I doubt it, but I wonder if the new River I release includes watermarks? I doubt it too. I'm waiting for someone who as bought it to make scans. Nothing so far online about it.Title: Re: The River I Re-Issue Post by: Purity on October 23, 2009, 10:49:12 am anyone from germany who plans to order this? or anyone who want to send me a copy TO germany? funagain would cost me $33.12 for delivery which is tooooo much for me ...

Title: Re: The River I Re-Issue Post by: Whaleyland on November 04, 2009, 09:44:19 pm Does anyone know about the watermarks yet? It seems to be released now.
Title: Re: The River I Re-Issue Post by: Purity on November 05, 2009, 12:37:45 pm It's now available in the UK. ah thats nice :-) ... so it will be cheaper now :-) Title: Re: The River I Re-Issue Post by: Vulch on November 06, 2009, 05:37:25 am I am in the UK, have had email ciculars saying these are now in stock.
For info: www.iguk.co.uk have the "Wheel of Fortune" for £21.99 and "River I" for £5.69 (prices include P&P to mainland UK). www.boardgameguru.co.uk also have the "Wheel of Fortune" in stock. Title: Re: The River I Re-Issue Post by: Gwommy on November 06, 2009, 03:01:12 pm Does anyone know about the watermarks yet? It seems to be released now. Judging from the pic of the box, I'm going to guess that there is no watermark. The Wheel of Fortune, Catapult, and Mayor all have their watermark symbol on the upper-right hand corner of each box.
