How are you so sure? By comparing the pictures and seeing city tiles with dark backgrounds on the box?  >:D

Yes, I also confirm this, I got the same box for the Advent action of two years ago and it looks exactly like this one!

I assume the box can be disassembled easily to get access to the printed tiles, right?

Because the box looks exactly the same.
They also keep supplies in their stock for later sale.
And I don't think they would make another print without the cut tiles.
I'll see when it gets home :)

I forget, are any of the CutCassonne tiles unique or do they all appear in the base game or expansions?
Title: Re: Advent package 2020 - Including Phantom!
Post by: Meepledrone on November 21, 2020, 01:29:23 AM
I checked the Tile Reference and there are two tiles that are unique to CutCassonne if you are looking exactly for the same design. You can find the rest in the base game and River I.

The two different tiles are marked in red below:
* The FFRR tile top right has a similar version in the base game, but the road segment is different. The balloon shows the version in CutCassonne.
* The CRRF tile bottom left has various versions in the base game but always with a symbol (highwaymen, farmhouse, cowshed). You can find a plain version in Exp. 3 - P&D, but it has a dragon symbol.

Merit for the visual examples. That’s what I thought. Fun tiles and a fun gimmick but nothing essential. I do like the idea of having two extra river tiles but since these aren’t even on proper tile backings, I can’t quite take them seriously.

Thank you, Whaleyland!

So are you printing them? The backs of river tiles are not a show stopper...  ;)

Got it, it is indeed cutcassonne (see picture) !

And a nice, new, shiny phantom expansion, making me frustrated at the price I had to pay a year ago to get one...

Does the new phantom still have the old rules and colors? Still no pink?

Well my daughter started with play of pink. But then we bought expansion with Shepherd C1 (didn't knowing that there are two version of design of Carcassonne) and he was gray. So she didn't want to play with him, so started to play with black.
Currently all are pink, but she's 13 and currently don't want to play with us, doesn't matter if we have all meeples in pink

Currently she have only one goal. To go to Zanzibar and watch tortoises there.

Unfortunately, CundCo does not sell that color of "phantom".

And the other set of plastic meeples "that you can use to play phantom" are sold out...
(https://cundco.de/media/image/c9/78/76/10-transparente-Meeple-im-Sackchen_200x200.jpg) (https://cundco.de/en/accessories/237/10-different-colored-transparent-meeple)

But there are some "frozen meeple" that you can use: here (https://cundco.de/en/accessories/238/8-different-colored-frozen-meeple?c=36) (but don't tell to the Meeple Council, they haven't officially decide what to do with those meeples yet  :)) ).

You may find some spare teacher/phantom meeples on Spielematerial.de:

HAHAHAHAHA. Youse are funny. I said that I play pink more for the oppositional teenager response (though I do play pink) rather than looking for people to solve a problem.

@Meepledrone - thanks for the tip on spielematerial.de. I hadn't previously seen them as an outlet. Not many good options in the USA for retail outlets. I settled on cundco for the first order.

Nice. I like that. My lady's preferred color is brown, so the brown wooden set is on the way from cundco. I can get a Phantom for her. The big acrylic case is only decorative and doesn't seem to serve any actual function, so this is a lot better from a practical perspective! Keep the suggestions coming boss!

The regular C2 meeples appear to be 16mm. Does C2 use any 12mm meeples like meeplesource offers? -  :pink-meeple:

The Demo Spiel and Carcassonne für 2 include smaller meeples (13mm irrc).

Went looking for a second copy of Carcassonne Fur 2 prior to Christmas (as a stocking filler), but it was no longer on CundCo. Glad I got one when it came out originally.
