I really wish you guys could stop mentioningg specific Adventures cards, even if you use made-up names. It just makes me more curious and the wait less sufferable.
I'm pretty sure they aren't even referencing specific cards.

I can't believe you guys are worried about Hot Air Balloon OR Drop Table when there is Merry Go 'Round to consider.

Poor Goko "programmers".
Wait a minute; on reddit we were told by somebody professing to be a Level 40 player who had play tested the new cards that:

1) They were indeed all Scout variants (because Scouts do go on Adventures),
2) That there were tokens involved that could at least be likened to merit badges, and
3) (we surmised) a new victory condition had been added which was arriving at the High Adventure Base of Philmont.

Were we misled?

Partially.  The destination in #3 was mis-characterized.

Then perhaps commiserating is the word that is most appropriate, 'cause Merry Go 'Round, man that one is gonna be a bitch.

This sounds rather specific to me. I immediately had to ponder what kind of effect he could mean. If "You may set this aside from your hand or put it there at any time." is on any Adventures card, i guessed it here first.

I think you might be confused by the joke, so let me explain it to make it funnier. "Merry go 'round", "Drop Tables", and "Hot Air Balloon" are not code names for specific Adventures cards. The joke with these absurd names is that they are so silly that they could never be Adventures cards and the names imply strange mechanics (or programming issues, in the case of Drop Tables).

When Jsh says "Hot Air Balloon" I know exactly which card he's talking about. I have a specific one in mind when I say "Bacon Cheeseburger" -- the other ones I think were jokes, or at least I don't know the real cards they represent.

I know which ones are meant as well. Maybe we should just drop the code names?

Me too. It's the Balloon Revolution zone from Temporum.

Last time I tried to buy a Balloon Revolution, my opponents insisted that it wasn't in the supply. 

And asked me to keep my mind on the game of Seven Wonders.

I thought Hot Air Balloon was also a suggested name because it was part of groundless speculation.

Oh I see. You meant Spindle.

Spindle didn't make it, after that game where I got mutilated by it and folded.

Why would anybody need a whole separate florist to choose flowers for their hair?  Why not just use your regular florist?

So, the frontpage now promises we gonna see some previews at the end of the month.
Is that some sort of speculation or where did that information come from?

The expansion is set to come out April 8, so previews will start March 30th. That way, if someone jumps the gun by a couple days, the previews are still all out first.
