On the exploration tokensI played with this varient a few times and I must say it doesn't really have a high impact on the game. Basically you only reveal the token when a hero ends his movement phase on a tile with an unexplored token on it, which means you flip them over only in summer. While it does introduce another element of luck, it nearly always only gives small advantages/disadvantages, which means it only changes something really significant in an odd series of events.
To summ it up I really like this small addition, because introducing another element of luck, makes it more improbable for someone to be lucky in every instance when luck plays a role, which as a whole adds to the thrill of the game. Additionally it gives more personality to each tile, which always is a plus in a theme driven game.
