Late 2012 Expansions & Spin-Offs

[Carcking]

I placed my order this afternoon. Thanks guys - hopefully I'm in time to get double tiles!

My Gingerbread Man arrived and I did get the double tile set!

Also, my Winter Edition set came. While I like the set I guess I was unpleasantly surprised. I don't know why but I thought the tiles would be the same as the print-n-play tiles on CundCo. They are not. The print-n-play tiles have a lot of character on the tiles - children sledding, snow men here and there, ski trails, etc. The Winter Edition tiles are quite boring in comparison. No character at all. But I do like the animal tiles - now I have some directive to come up with a scoring mechanic for them.

i neither own the winter edition (so far) nor the print-n-play tiles yet. though i did know they are different. what about the general look of the winter edition compared to the printed version. is the design (apart of the missing people) the same? or better? or worse? is there a comparison screenshot of some tiles somewhere?

...i'm glad you got both expansions :-)

There you can see both versions.

Thank you Fritz. The difference in the Winter Edition vs the PnP would not have stopped me buying the WE so there is nothing to complain about really. And I like the animal tiles anyway.

Regard The Gingerbread Man: I translated the rules to English and formatted them into the CC rules template. Here they are for your use.

In the W-CAR v1.0 is also the translation of the Gingerbread Man.
