I am curious to know if any folks living in the US have yet to receive any of their orders from SPIEL.Digital onward?

I am in the US and I’ve placed two separate orders (October 22 and November 20) and so far nothing has arrived. Way back in March I placed an order for just the halflings. That order never shipped because of the pandemic. By the time I was told it could ship I just cancelled it in favor of a new order during SPIEL Digital. Then I placed another order during the start of their advent season. So far all I have received is a set of the halflings. I’ve reached out to Cundco and all I was told is that these things take time.

Question... I got a tile during their SPIEL digital sale so would I then be able to get a tile during their new Advent sale? I know the “rules” say one tile per person / address but do the rules carry over from one sale to the next? I suppose no one may truly know as these are unprecedented circumstances.

Anyway this yer is Sale, because Spiel '20 tile is available for 15 EUR and above order (previous years it was 20 EUR if I remember correctly).

It says €20 on the website.

Placed my order. Both of the new maps, German Cathedrals, Face Mask and the Spiel 20 tile. Postage was a reasonable €10. Now I just hope they remember to include everything...

Bumsakalaka isn’t crazy. Their website definitely said 15 Euros minimum. However their website did go down for a few minutes and now it says 20 Euros. Now I’m concerned about the order I put in. I was only interested in the Halflings, German Cathedrals and the SPIEL tile which on their own wasn’t enough so I tossed in two meeple sets. Enough to get to 15 but not 20. ????

So I’ve noticed something interesting along side the reveal of the new Germans Cathedrals. They’ve gone ahead and updated the naming of mini-expansions on cundco.de to denote whether they are for the old edition or the new edition, potentially implying that new expansions could be ported backwards or that old expansions could be updated to the new artwork.

Oh boy I think I am one of the very few people who would actually benefit from this product. I have all of the winter edition mini-expansions but not the winter edition base game itself! So to get said game with a new River included, sign me up!

News and Events / Official Solo Mode Released
« on: April 18, 2020, 09:44:11 AM »
Dear everyone,

HiG officially put out today rules for playing Carcassonne solo style! The rules are available in English ( https://www.hans-im-glueck.de/_Resources/Persistent/ae348d66236eced540be8ee802b1dbef51b33bb9/CarcBasis_SoloRegel_ENG_Web.pdf ) And German ( https://www.hans-im-glueck.de/_Resources/Persistent/9a093f4d9482708af85960ccfb3bef088e836067/CarcBasis_SoloRegel_DE_Web.pdf ). I haven’t personally read the rules yet as I wanted to hurry up and share them here so I can’t swear if they’re any good.

Regardless this is exciting news! I will definitely have to try these out later!

P.S. paging Meepledrone! You have new rules to pour over.  ;D

EDIT - read the rules and the solo mode seems like a challenge more than anything, but a fun challenge. It also would seem that expansions could be mixed in though it will naturally fall upon us to sort out any interaction questions.

Alright, I think I done did something wrong. I tried to place an order for just this new expansion. During check out I was presented to options “online bank transfer” and “bank transfer.” The online option took me to a place I did recognize and ultimately did not seem to apply to me. So I opted instead for the regular option. I thought it would take me to PayPal. It didn’t. Apparently I have a placed order with an invoice that includes banking details. I have no idea what I need to do from here. I’ve just been so use to being directed to PayPal to pay for the order then being sent back to cundco to finalize the order.

Does anyone have any advice on my next step, noting like some I don’t speak German. I’ve sent an email to cundco just in case.

It is with a sad heart that I must report that the CodingMonkeys have lost the rights to publish Carcassonne on iOS and Mac. The Carcassonne app will be available until the 1st of March at which time it will be unavailable and replaced with Asmodee's implementation as currently found on Steam and Android. The CodingMonkeys have promised to keep servers up for at least 1 year and will keep them up even longer beyond that as budget permits. Also, in light of this situation they've gone ahead and put all theirs apps on sale for 50% off (not sure if this includes the in app purchases as well). You can read more about this sad news via their blog post here,

https://blog.codingmonkeys.de/posts/2020/01/18/farewell-carcassonne

I have played and enjoyed Asmodee's Steam implementation of Carcassonne but it couldn't measure up the incredible greatness that was the CodingMonkey's iOS implementation. I will hate to see this app pass on but I likely will pick up the Asmodee version when it is available.

I'm curious what all of you think? I can't imagine I'm the only one saddened by this news.

It appears the discount on expansions 6 and 10 has ended but even so I just wanted to highlight that online shop is a great way to pick up the Festival 10th anniversary and the School expansions both in English.

News and Events / Cundco Advent Season Sale 2019
« on: November 27, 2019, 01:56:26 AM »
Dear members,

THIS IS NOT A DRILL! Cundco has just quietly (at least quietly to me anyway) launched their advent season sale for 2019. Per usual you can get the Spiel 2019 promo tile with a minimum 20 Euro purchase. In addition to that they are offering what is known as the Carcassonne Tinbox where for 24.99 Euros you get a special classic art style tin filled with your choice of 3 mini-expansions, 3 mini tuckboxes for said mini-expansions, and 1 set of 5 differently colored meeple candles. As far as I can tell this is it as far as new stuff goes!

I've made sure to already place my order, but be sure to place your order before the Spiel tiles are gone!  :yellow-meeple:

P.S. despite the 2018 appearing in the link above it is the correct link so do not be fooled or concerned.  ;)

This may be a fault of the rules themselves and not you specifically but I wanted to highlight a clarity issue with the rules. The rules state that if you raise a toll then you get points for gardens, highwaymen, sheds, and groups of travelers. However the rules do not define what a shed is. I looked all over the wiki until I remembered to look at the rules for the Markets at Leipzig and in this section ( http://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/The_Markets_of_Leipzig#cite_ref-9 ) they sort of better define what a shed is. It was there and then that I was able to infer what is meant by the broad term “shed.”

With more expansions taking advantage of these new CC2 exclusive icons perhaps the icons should be better defined. Also for this new expansion you should probably highlight the incompatibilities when using this expansion with the CC1 artwork like you did for the Markets at Leipzig expansion.

I don’t know if they ship outside the US but you can get the Festival in the old art from Asmodee’s US store, https://store.us.asmodee.com/catalogue/carcassonne-mini-expansion-the-festival_1240/

EDIT: They also sell the School and both listings are legit what they say/show they are. Z-Man Games (owned by Asmodee, in the US, at least) used to (still does) sell these on their website but then last week Asmodee created one central, online store for all the various publishers they own. A while back I ordered the Festival via Z-Man Games and got exactly what I was expecting!

And here we are, after beeing 99% there will be one, we can now be 100 % sure thanks to Cundco Newletter

Als Letztes haben wir noch ein paar kleine Spezials auf der Messe (neben dem Messplättchen 2019 natürlich)

The SPiel 19 tile will be given at the shop for any purchase

A merit to you for sharing this delightful news!  :yellow-meeple:

EDIT: All the new stuff, except the spiel tile are listed on Cundco’s website, though you can’t add to cart yet. I’m sure everything will be available once Essen is over!

Side note they have the new edition of Stone Age AND the expansion (renamed to “Dawn of Style”) listed as well.
