There's also the hot pot (which reportedly can go on counters as well as dining tables). I'd say that the activities such as sledding, skiing, snowboarding and rock climbing count as new gameplay even if there's no specific objects associated with them (meaning you have to travel to the new world but you can just do a day trip from anywhere). And kids can ski, snowboard and sled -- will likely be a fun way to build Motor skill that doesn't involve video games. :| Not sure about the rock climbing or mountain excursion; since the daughter didn't show up in the panel for choosing the climbing team I assume that's a no (plus they can't use the Fitness Stuff rock climbing treadmill and the Guru's have confirmed that item will build Rock Climbing Skill). Children will also have their own special festival, Festival of Youth, with activities geared to them. And I'm thrilled that they're finally getting a reskinned science table; that new one will look a lot better in the kids' rooms at the libraries.
