Pedersen tells me that the goal was to make this scenario playable without the need for additional components: "We have been working on the scenario since last December, so that decision is not related to Covid-19, but I am the more happier with it now that a lot of people are stuck at home without access to printing facilities."
"The Captain Returns" is a scenario for 1-3 players that you can download from the BGG game page. Says Pedersen, "I have taken a lot of inspiration from my fellow Dane Morten Monrad Pedersen and his team's Automa work over the years. Morten always talks about creating bots that push up against you in key interaction points. In Deep Blue, those interactions are happening on the market row of cards where the Captain will remove cards from play and add gems to the bag, and they are happening racing for scouting spots on dive sites and the initiative to dive."

In Carcassonne: The Land Surveyors, available for download here in English and German, surveyors roam the land, changing the value of roads, cities, and monasteries when they're scored.
More specifically, you'll create a stack of surveyor tiles for each of these three landscape features, with one tile being active for each feature and one tile being the next in line. When at least one feature scores points for any player, you resolve everything based on the currently active tiles, then you place those tiles on the bottom of their stacks, making the next-in-tile of each type the active tile. Some tiles give you bonuses, others penalties, so time the scoring carefully while the surveyors are on your side!

After the "carving of a statue" action in phase A, you can choose to take the doctor of the matching Epoch, I or II, and place it on a color of your choice on your game board, regardless of whether you have cards of that color or not. For the remainder of the game, you cannot add cards of the plague-stricken color to your board. The plague doctor in Epoch I is worth 12 VP, while the one in Epoch II is worth 8 VP on its own or 13 VP if you have both doctors.

Since making that announcement we have been monitoring the situation with regard to the current Covid-19 virus pandemic. After long deliberation and with great reluctance, the directors of UK Games Expo have decided to cancel the 2020 UK Games Expo. This decision has been made after considering national advice and government directives with regard to the Covid-19 virus pandemic, the expected closure of large venues and the probable duration of the infection. We reached our conclusions following consultation with sponsors, show partners and our venues.
We consider that a cancellation at this stage maximises the chances to both protect the health and well-being of all our attendees but also the financial viability of our exhibitors and the UK Games Expo itself and gives the best opportunity for attendees to recover any secondary costs. This allows us the best opportunity to hold a successful show in 2021.
