Question for BW box owners: How many more tiles than everything can you fit? I have all official expansions (except tunnels, festival and russians, hint hint) but also some fan expansions that I really "need" in the same box as they are used often. They amount to maybe 150 extra tiles, would they fit?
EDIT: just read jungleboys post, so only 40-50 hey? The search goes on...

A big thanks to Decar for closing this so 2017 can begin with a clean sheet. I can´t say I fully grasp the algoritms, but congratulations to Adrornalin, a well deserved victory!

Nice find totor66! Let the speculation begin!  
By the way, just for the record, I do so love how despite being a loyal and dedicated fan site we never hear news of upcoming expansions from the horses mouth but always through somewhere selling it online instead... 
The same site that does it own expansions with artwork that is believed to be out of print (we cannot be sure, clarity is apparently of no importance) and then gets slammed by that corporation which holds the copyright when there is no financial gain for anyone, except the company itself in the end? With noone from the company coming to a thread they have obviously seen to give a statement clarifying, both this one and the one about the advent calendar debacle. In the music industry we work it the other way round, fan sites get earlier access to news and new songs, hopefully the artist gives an exclusive performance on their channel or likewise, send personalized gifts to the fans that maintain those forums, have official lotteries etc. I guess the board game industry is different but after my short time here I am surprized by the lack of dialogue from developers and such, especially when comparing gaming qualities between some official releases and some fan ones. Maybe it happens on the german forum, I don´t know. On a sidenote, that same site made me, and probably many more, buy blank tiles from them to print on, and before I discovered those I even bought an extra base game to use for Seasons and Wells. It made me a completionist and I even bought the f***ing catapult. It made me discover JCZ which in turn let me introduce the game to people that bought the game (and didn´t like the new artwork btw). Back on track I hope this expansion is NOT printed in the old artwork, that means I don´t have to get it and my Carc-period can come to an end (just need tunnels and the russians...). Like a good rock band that turned pop, I can still dig the old albums, but I stop wearing the t-shirt, if you know what I mean?

After being a casual carcassonne player for some years it was in 2016 my son got smitten by the carc-virus and we started playing for real. As he turned 7 we had played quite a few mega-carc games and started developing house rules and such. We played with him having one more meeple, btw, typically in larger games. Nice handicap I also use when introducing the game to new people.
Finding CC, wow! I have not only tried most fan expansions that the new (2016) printer at work now has been busy with, I have recieved gifts from unknown people, met people and have also discovered JCZ here which really made all players in the house (we are quite a lot) level up their game.
This year I also played my first two tournaments here (one still waiting to be finished...) and reached qf in the world cup where I lost a very tight game against one of the finalists, ok with that!
Through CC I found spielematerial.de which let us materialize some home rules and fan expansions.
2016 also saw me pay ridiculous amounts of money for printed carton.

I just got my bags from Jere over some beer at Stockholm Central Station. Besides playing two games and arguing with a local drunk about why beverages are not to be spillt over the game we also managed to solve all problems in the world! Thanks for the bags and games!

Hello all!
I´d like to second the motion to skip wind roses, even an honest mistake gives three points. How can you differentiate between them?

After speaking to Paul on the phone and seeing that it benefits both buyers and seller (Paul) to buy directly from him, I abandon ship and give way to a new captain!
He will sort his collection during this and next week and get back in touch with those of you who have shown interest. I´m sorry if it all got a bit messy, but remember it is all done in good faith. I trust you can wait an extra week?

I would be interested in the cult siege and creativity. Dont know if its worth to split if it then goes on to my country
Nope, sorry. They are out of that one. For those of you who are getting anything, I forgot that I´m playing the Swedish National Championship in pinball next weekend so I won´t be able to pack and re-send until monday 21st. No stress I guess (hope).

I would greatly appreciate it if you ordered a copy of the Catapult for me from World of Board Games. It's around 363 grams, so that would be be 8 USD plus 11.55 USD (105 krona) = about 20 USD. Is that correct? I would also like a copy of Cult, Siege, and Creativity, but am I correct in understanding that is out of stock? Also, how is payment handled on here?
P.S. Thank you for your patience in answering all of my questions!
Patience? I work as a teacher for teenagers and then come home to four small kids aged 9 and down, so yes a little bit I guess. Your example seems to be correct if you don´t want the box because then it becomes a package and postage explodes to 40USD... Sorry about that. This is also within Europe, US even more. Payment? Either we make a bank transfer, or we do a Godfather and say that I might ask for a favor one day...

Thank you for this offer! I might be interested depending on shipping costs - do you have an idea what they might be?
The original order shipping cost is almost free, like 1USD since we split it. As long as I can send it in an envelope (folded tuckbox or no outer box) it shouldn´t be that bad. Depends on where you live of course, but within Europe it´s about 5 USD until 250 grams, 8USD until 500 grams, 12 USD the kilo. Envelopes I have plenty. As a sign of me not being carcy enough, I have no idea how much a mini expansion weighs...

Hello all! I´m placing an order at a swedish game shop to help a Canadian CC-member. As the snow has fallen here my christmas spirit has arisen so I´m asking if anyone would like anything? If I understand correctly, some items might be hard to get elsewhere. There are some minis left, the Catapult and such, check the shops here http://www.spelexperten.com/sallskapsspel/spelserier/carcassonne/https://www.worldofboardgames.com/webshop-sok.php?searchString=carcassonne&search=S%F6kI´m not charging anything, just asking for the price and split postage. If anyone would have Tunnels/Cathars/Besiegers/GQ11/Festival/Russian promoes to swap, I´m happy to arrange a deal. Price examples would be Mini2 for about 5USD. I will place my order this coming monday evening (nov14) so hurry hurry! People ordering for re-sale are not invited.

The completionist got the better of me. Today I got the the Plague and little buildings, now to go looking for Tunnels.

Congrats What If!
Lo siento jma03!
Now it's a "must win" situation for grabuska, otherwise she finishes 2nd which is not bad at all!
Why? Is my score difference so much better? If so, I think the tournament rules are "wrong", in case a tie occurs, surely the game between the two should decide? Grabushka beat me, so...
