General / Re: Rank the 10 Carcassonne main expansions
« on: February 02, 2018, 06:25:42 AM »
1 - Under the Big Top (I love this one cuz you can get tons of extra points if you play it right)
2 - Hills and Sheep (like the push your luck aspect of this one)
3 - Princess and Dragon (super fun and not so frustrating as tower)
4 - Abbey and Mayor (like barn, abbey, wagon, and mayor in that order)
5 - Traders and Builders (much better than inns and cathedrals)
6 - Castles, Bridges, and Bazaars (like all parts)
7 - Tower (can be frustrating at times but it's fun to capture)
8 - Inns and Cathedrals (good, but doesn't add too much)
9 - Count, King and Robber (like shrines and king/robber, hate river 2 and count)
10 - Catapult (never played this one, but definitely not my style)

So, I don't have pictures, but here are the gaming Christmas presents for me and the rest of my family.
I got Markets of Leipzig, The Festival, and Labyrinth from Cundco last week, but they're getting wrapped up and put under the tree. (for wife and me)
Ticket to Ride: Rails and Sails (for wife and me), Codenames: Pictures (for family), and Colt Express (for kids and me).

Kanoodle and Gravity Maze (both are brain teasing, logic puzzles for my 9 yr old).

That's all for now. Hopefully more will come between now and the 25th.   :D

So when I made my Germany Takes Over comment, I was thinking more like in a "euro-gaming" way, not in a "WWII" way. I personally think Germans are awesome, and I'm trying to learn German so I can know what's going on when I eventually make it to Essen someday. It doesn't look like anyone was offended, but if they were, I just want to clarify that it was not my intention.

I can definitely see Wheel Of Fortune and Hills & Sheep being released in the new art style.  I too would love to see a new collection of smaller expansions: Siege, German Cathedrals and German castles in the new art style would be awesome!  I just don't know how they would name it, since there are Cathedrals in Inns & Cathedrals and Castles in Bridges Castles and Bazaars.
Well they have German Castles, German Cathedrals and German Monasteries so far, so maybe combine all these and release in the new art as Carcassonne: Germany Takes Over.
hey wait is BCB released in the new art style yet?
In German, yes. In English, not yet announced. Not sure about other languages.

I'm hoping for 6, 8, and 9 in the new art in English. Hopefully we'll get a new small expansion. I would like to see some of the other small expansions combined into large expansion 11 (Maybe Siege, German Cathedrals, and German Castles). Oh and I'd totally buy Wheel of Fortune if they re-released it in the new art.

Since the meeple is removed before the scoring phase, the removed meeple will not score.

Thanks for the news :(y)

For some reason that page is so slow for me that it's almost impossible to navigate!
I agree. It's functional, but not necessarily well-designed.

Official Rules / Re: can I get a Dispatch, please?
« on: October 13, 2017, 12:47:54 PM »
Page 162 of the CAR, states that, "Payment of points, as with bidding in a bazaar or in
ransoming of a follower captured by a tower, does not count as a round of scoring." Thus you can't get another message tile for this.

Z-Man Games now lists Big Box 6 as "Shipping Now". Also the reprint of Inns & Cathedrals is "shipping now".  A few people have been looking for Expansion 1, and now it's back in stock.

The rules for Big Box 6 are up as well.

True, at the moment you can't get the mini's anywhere else except for BB6. Maybe they'll come out separate later, but who knows? :)
Expansion 8 and 9 are planned to come out in the new art this year, but atm they are not available anywhere.

And Dan, thanks, I forgot the Labyrinth :D
schmidtspiele.de gives the release dates for both 8 and 9 as Oct 23, 2017.

Z-Man Games just updated their upcoming games page. "My First Carcassonne" is now showing as "In Stores Now". I imagine you'll start seeing them soon at normal prices again.

 ??? Zman took down their page for this game. I first noticed it was gone last week. Wonder if they messed up or if they are just updating it or something else.  ???
