The subject really says it all. Will this compilation still come to be in its present form? Or will the Rio Grande release of the Mini expansions not have the crop circles? Or will they have a different set of 6 bonus tiles?

And if no change, then when will it get released?

Crop Circles is the seventh of the six mini expansions.

My guess is that RGG will release these in two sets, each combining three of the six.

Don't think that's what he asked.

Given that Crop Circles has now been incorporated into another set of expansions as a bonus expansion, will RGG remove if from their planned printing of CCP&T? Will they remove the bonus? Will we end up with two copies of CC? Will CCP&T now not be produced by RGG?

I thought what he was getting at (and what would make sense of me) is that crop circles would be skipped, since it's in the other US-released Corn-Circles-Plague-Tunnels, and then the other 6 would be released in 2 sets of 3.

In that case they'd be the run-of-the-mill "Small Expansions" rather than the nifty new "Mini Expansions" though.

Yeah, that.

Are these mini-expansions are smaller than the previous small expansions? Not by much given their supposed contents.

RGG have said they save up the small expansions now, given tile sheets are in twelves.

As these minis come with eight tiles each, and some wooden parts, this divides nicely if they're done in groups of three for two tile sheets.

logically thes would be something like:
Messenger, Ferryman and Miner.
Robber, Wizard, Witch and Broomstick.

IF RGG do do them as minis, they may elect to take the Corn Circles out.

Of course, this is all conjecture based on previous statements by RGG.

I thought they'd be smaller than even the "small" expansions like Count. The case makes them look pretty small but it's hard without scale. The very cheap price also implies they'd be even smaller. I'm guessing they'd actually only have 1 tile (the corn), plus a bit for each player (wood? chit?). Again, all conjecture though.

According to the current info, each has eight tiles and some wood.

The Count had twelve tiles and a large piece of wood, while the rivers, king/scout and CSC all had twelve tiles each.

These are thus smaller than those, but not by a great deal.

Well I stand corrected, there are now descriptions where there didn't used to be on the mini entries, and they do indeed have 8 land tiles plus bits. Cool.

If the corn tiles are different than the ones released in Carcassonne: Die Kornkreise they might indeed still include these singles. There's a lot more city/road/field combinations than just the ones included in the original crop circle expansion.

Jay has already addressed this issue. Both expansions will be released as they currently are. Corn Circles will be included in both Corn Circles, Plague & Tunnels as well as on a tile-by-tile bonus in Carcassonne Minis expansions. Just like in Europe, it all be possible that people will end up with two copies of the expansion. I sincerely doubt the two sets of Corn Circles will be different tile layouts.

The people here claim (with photos; don't know if that helps because I've not seen the original CC tiles) that the tiles from the mini-expansions are all-new CC.

The crop circle tiles in the Mini’s are different from the ones already available (and included in the new big expansion). The rules remain the same.

That's cool, I like that we're not getting the same exact set!
