General info and comments

Essen Spiel'23 Promo tile

Promotional tiles made available by Hans im Glück to attendees at the Essen Games Fair in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 (a different one each year). They are not available as a single set.

There are no specific rules applicable to the tiles from this mini expansion. All of the rules remain the same.

The tiles released in the period 2014-2017 were printed in a single batch so the city segments on them have the darker city backgrounds. Starting from 2018, each tile is printed individually and cities show lighter backgrounds.

Contents

  • 10 new Spiel Promo Land tiles, identified by a shield indicating the year of the corresponding Spiel event.

Other expansions

If playing with other expansions, please take the following notes into consideration:

Exp. 1 - Inns & CathedralsExp. 1 - Inns & Cathedrals

Interpretation from the Community The Spiel '22 tile features an inn by the lake that would affect the its road segment if playing with Exp. 1 - Inns & Cathedrals.

Exp. 6 - Count, King & RobberExp. 6 - Count, King & Robber

Interpretation from the Community The length of a road with the roundabout on the Spiel'18 tile (e.g. for the purposes of the Robber tile) is the total number of tiles in the road, not simply the longest distance between two ends. The road has four ends which have to be closed, but the result is that it's likely to be bigger.
