Check out Board Game Geeks page for it.  Somebody has it and got a scan of the tiles.  Its the Shrines + 1 new tile and The Cathars.

Excellent find scotty. Yep, 6 tiles for the Shrines. The Siege tiles are indeed very similar to the Cathars, but they are not the Cathars. I wonder how it plays? My bet is exactly the same Wink

Edit: Notice that there are no 'watermarks' on this release! The extra Shrine place is a 'crfr' layout.

Release date in the UK was listed as 30th September.  Not sure if it is available in the US.  I have updated the guide to show that it's now available.

BGG hasn't updated their page for this yet...

I think they will be the same rules as the Cathar tiles.  It's just that RGG can't use the name Cathar or the images or the tiles because they don't have the rights to do that.

steve, can you tell us if there is any expansion watermark on the tiles?  The images posted to BGG doesn't show a watermark.

From the links to the pictures supplied by Joff :

Does this mean it's supplied as a one of the the 'miniture' add-ons, and further more, is Seige available as a seperate set then? But not the others?

And from the picture of the tiles - One of those roads appears way off centre.

Wishmaster: It is a miniature add-on with 12 tiles (6 shrines, 4 siege, 2 blanks) in a box.  5 of the 6 shrine tiles are available separately (either from Spielbox HiG Almanac or from K,C&C).  The siege tiles are not (yet?) available separately.  It is only shown separately on the underside of the C,S&C box.  The other side (top) of the box still states "Cult, Siege & Creativity".

That would be the new shrine/cult tile that Jay/RGG added.

Gents, the box is a small one just like King & Scout. The Seige tiles for all of those desperately searching for the Cathars is just that, YES its the Cathars !!! 2 blanks which is creativity which you can do what you like with and then the 6 cult tiles. So for £3.99 for 6 brand new tiles and two blanks it aint bad I suppose.

I don't expect we'll be seeing the siege tiles released separately.

Are the siege rules identical to Cathars rules? I would expect them to be at least extremely close.

I sent an e-mail to my FLGS this morning and just received a response that CS&C is not even in stock at the distributors yet, but he will e-mail me as soon as it comes in. The only information he knows is the same as what we know, that it was supposed to come out last month and he expects it to come out this month. (I wonder if this will affect Catapult's release schedule too?)

I can imagine Matt pulling his hair out when he gets back to working on the CAR. The extra shrine tile should probably be included with the other shrine tiles. Do the seige tiles get their own entry, or does it get combined with Cathars? (I'm leaning towards combined.) And what of the blank tiles? Not worthy of their own page...
