From what we've seen, it's the more squared edges

I'm building more and more close relationships with the postmen here!
Today was a good day!



Got a ZMG copy of Carc20, safely packed with more packing-peanuts than my packing-monkey can eat, and a set of (empty) boxes from MMike!

i've gone with option D.
That farm can be a good starting point, and should easily connect to the farm that White already has. Pink has enough meeple i think, so it could be worth it making the investment

Hi Christian!
It was announced a while back, and quite a few members have been able to get one, or are waiting for the Nicolaus promotion to get one.
It was discussed here:

It's on multiple second hand sites, and the seller has indicated that there's lots of interest....
So good luck to everyone going for it

Thanks to a tip from MMike, I couldn't resist getting this copy of the Finnish base game


And yesterday I received a copy of I&C in C2.0, which completed my C2.0 collection

I'd say it is implied, but not specifically stated in the rules, so it might be a good clarification in the Wikicarpedia

The new box art is nice, but i would agree it would not necessarily mean that we're into C3 now. "A new design" can be just aimed at the box art, which has changed a lot in C1 and even in C2.
In terms of box art, it would be the 4th edition of C2

We've seen 1 webshop calling it a "New Edition", and they did mention a revised rulesheet and more detailed tiles.
I'll wait to see what HiG/Cundco call it if/when they release the new base game&BB7. If they call it a "New Edition", i'd be more inclined to go with C3 for it. If not, i'm happy to stick with C2.2

In terms of how to list it in the profiles, i would suggest waiting for the same. If HiG call these C3, let's follow that. If they don't, then just list BB7 under the C2 section.
We don't have separate entries for different box arts, or special/limited editions of things. Carc20 would be understandable to list, as it brings a (so far) unique expansion&river.

And i wouldn't list the mini's separately until they can be purchased from a publisher separately. We don't have them listed separately from BB6 either.

No news yet.

I do expect their Nicolaus promotion won't start until next week at earliest.
It is based on the December 6th date (the day Saint Nicolaus died), and in previous years they have released the promotion to lead up to that.
So we'll have to be patient just a little longer

General / Re: Are there players here who actually do play with the new edition (CC II)?

« on: November 15, 2021, 12:49:04 PM »

It's a bit of both.
The contents are in terms of playing basically the same as BB6. Base game, expansions 1 and 2, and the 7 mini's (+ river and abbot of course)

However, the tiles have the slightly newer design, seen in the Anniversary edition and some more recent expansions. The cities are busier and the edges are slightly rounded for example.
Also there are some new tile configurations, but so far I believe only the Spring tile for the river (now has a road) and the end of the river (has a monastery) are known to be different, but there could be more

I'm playing mostly C2 these days, also because that's what they release new stuff for. So if a new expansion comes out I want to try it, and I don't like mixing art styles.
I've got a full C1 playset, that occasionally comes out though. Haven't forgotten about C1!
