The great challenge and lottery and should start this Thursday.

Hike in France

We’re taking you on a big ride through France in this contest, where you might encounter sheep and other obstacles. It is the same principle as the Icelandic Hike.


How it works

Move forward to reach milestones and get gifts. Players will encounter many obstacles that can be countered using card. Each card will cost tokens to players.

Counter the obstacles using:

Counter the sheep using the sheepdog card.
Counter the vineyard using the pruning shears card
Counter the pothole using the wooden plank card
Send an obstacle to another player using the joker card
Change your route using the Switch card.



New in this edition

Players are not able to shuffle cards, but instead they will always have the ability to switch lanes (for 2 tokens)

Players will be able to get divine fragments on the board and at each milestone (7 in total)

You will be able to find divine fragments on your way



How to get Tokens

At first connection (5 per day)
Taking rides with your horses (5 per day)
By registering your horses for competitions (5 per day)
By finding them on the game board
By completing a collection
By buying them with passes


Community Objective

The community has to cover 150km together to complete the objective and earn 2 times more Chocolate Croissant Fragments in the Golden Fleeces.


Jackpots


Jackpot #1 - Chocolatine (Female)
Jackpot #2 - Chocolate Croissant (Male)
These divines are from the Pastry series. Chocolate Croissant and Chocolatine can give birth to:

-French Trotter
-Selle Français
-Carmargue (Brand new breed on all versions except FR!)

At the end of the event, players keep all the Divine fragments they collected.

Commercial Offer:
-The community objective will unlock a bonus multiplier of divine fragments in the Golden Fleece
-When community objective completed, the number of divine fragments for Jackpot #2 (Chocolate Croissant) is multiplied by 2.

There is no pack of tokens product displayed on the BM store anymore. The pack will now be available via a pop-up directly on the contest page.

- Permanent offers: token packs. Special offers in token packs (more tokens for the same price)

Can be won at the second checkpoint so will be available for all players that even play this promo casually. This is the skill set for the one I already won.

The second and third checkpoint offers the new breed so everyone should have the opportunity to get at least one, if not two of them.

Ooh I would love to get the new breed horse. I just love how it looks. Can't wait for this promo But then I like the cards promo so...these two promos back to back are going to be epic and awesome.

I was hoping for a new draft horse there are lots of riding horses

is the next promo gonna be a hike through france or the Japanese cards?

The next promo is the cards, followed by the Hike.

You can get 270 tokens in total for the entire promo.( 18 days at 15 tokens per day). You need to travel 400Km to reach the promo divine. Some tokens will be worth 3 km and some only 1 km so a small outlay may be needed to reach the end and get the first divine.You may also collect tokens as you travel.

Potentially you can get a max of 750 fragments and a x2 multiplier in the promo so you will need to get 250 more. On preprod I was getting between 12 and 18 fragments ( then times 2). So about 10 GFs max needed to be opened to get the second divine. So a lot will depend on strategy and how many GFs you may have in your inventory.

Hike through France

The camargues look super cute

The Ikebana Event


In the Japanese culture, Ikebana is the art of flower arrangement.
During this event, win gifts by merging flowers!

How it works


You will have to merge ingredients (flowers) to:

Create more valuable ingredients (make them evolve)

Win gifts
Win Shika Jackpot
Win Sakura fragments


Ingredients


How to get them

Win the first 3 ingredients (A, B, C) over time

Ingredient A: You have 3 slots that you can refill over time or buy when emptied.
Ingredient B: You have 5 slots that you can refill over time or buy when emptied.
Ingredient C: You have 6 slots that you can refill over time or buy when emptied.

Once you used all the ingredients you had in your inventory, the ingredients are shaded and a “+” appears. You can wait until the refill (see the timer) or buy these ingredients with passes.

The timer indicates when your Ingredient inventory will be fully refilled.

Merge 2 identical ingredients to obtain a more valuable one (ex: A+A=B, B+B=C, C+C=D, D+D=E etc.)

The only way to obtain ingredients D, E, F and G is to merge identical ingredients (ex: C+C=D, D+D=E,etc.)

You can obtain ingredients B and C by merging ingredients (ex: A+A=B, B+B=C)

The only way to obtain ingredient A is to wait or buy them


How to win the Jackpots
Jackpot #1- Shika/Blossom deer pet
Merge the 2 most valuable ingredients : H+H=Shika!

To keep Shika's visual appearance a secret until it is revealed on the live version, you will only see a placeholder image


Jackpot #2- Sakura



- Sakura can also be found in Golden Fleeces

- Same behavior than other Japanese horses

o Main gift: Hera’s Pack

How to win gifts

Try to merge 2 DIFFERENT ingredients to win gifts. Experiment to discover all of the recipes!


Important!

When trying an ingredient combination for the first time, you will see a green check mark or an x so you can decide not to create the item if you wish.

However, after you complete a combination once, you will no longer see the option to cancel the combination if you combine those ingredients again.

REPEAT: You will only get the option to cancel a combination before you finalize that combination for the first time. After, the item will be created and you will not be given the option to change your mind again.

New Tutorial

For this event, there is no playable tutorial (Ow won’t help step by step). The help pop-up (always available) will provide a tutorial video.

The Japanese Horses are divine horses. Each horse is inspired by an element from Japanese tradition.

Every day, choose one of the Omikujis they offer and discover your prize.

Sakura will give you Omikujis every day when she wakes up.
Choose one of them and win a prize from among:
1 x Hera's Pack
Another surprise
This horse cannot be sold.
You can increase her skills by using your Passes.

This is a brand new promo and is loosely based on the potions promos. However there is no tutorial. We will need to experiment.

No guarantee these combos will be the same when it goes live.
