Hi,Names are just the English - German names, but each reprint was different (and from a different publisher) The Cathars = Die Katharer = published by Spielbox 2004/5 and Spielbox Der Carcassonne Almanach = 4 tiles, with broken wallsSiege = published by RGG exclusively in Cult, Siege & Creativity = 4 tiles, with intact wallsThe besiegers = Die Belagerer = published by HiG in the Carcassonne Müller Exklusiv-Edition and then later on Cundco = 6 tiles, with broken wallsLook at the tile distribution section on WICA to see the differences between each tiles. There are tiny differences between each expansion rules-wise, although they are minor.I personally own only the besiegers, I prefer their design, and it's the only 6 tiles mini (except The Corn Circles, The Corn Circles II, The Plague, The Windroses, The Monasteries, German Cathedrals, German Castles, The Fruit-Bearing Trees, and The Barber Surgeons )

I know that there was a poll for favorite major expansion recently, but this thread has sparked interest if there is a preference amongst the minis -

We generally include at least one per game. The ferries probably gets picked the most. My kids enjoy moving it back and forth. I enjoy the fruit bearing trees. Simple, but a nice addition. Most everyone I play with cringe at the crop circles, but I like it.I just picked up Der Tunnel, Cathars, and Castles this past week. Looking forward to giving them a go!

My favorites are river I and II, goldmines, ferries, the school, phantom and labyrinths. And I love to play with the spiel 2014 - 2020 and the Russian promos because of their beautiful look on the game
Here is link to WiCa to compare tiles in each mini expansionhttps://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/Besiegers_Cathars_Siege_(1st_edition)#Tile_distributionFor me, I preffer Cathards with broken wall and symbol on City (like Princess)
Note that in The Besiegers and The Cathars, a cloister must be placed directly adjacent to a Besieger/Cathars tile to allow a knight to escape. However, RGG's rules for Siege state that a cloister allowing escape can be placed adjacent to any tile of a besieged city (even diagonally). For the sake of consistency, at the beginning of the game it would be useful to select only one of these rules when combining tiles from these sets. Purists can choose the Besiegers/Cathars rule, as it’s the German original, although the RGG Siege rule makes escape much more viable.
As I said in other threads, The Besiegers (the HiG version of The Cathars) is my favorite candidate mini expansion to be re-released in C2 this year.
