12-Count Expansion
« on: September 14, 2013, 07:45:16 PM »
A few weekends ago, I found a game store in the Milwaukee area that had this 12-count expansion...which I bought:

http://www.amazon.com/Carcassonne-Game-Tiles-12-Count/dp/B008NDG1YA

There are two river tiles with a darker back on them, and I assume those would replace the normal starting tile?  The other 10 tiles don't have any watermark on them to distinguish them from the base set of tiles, so I almost feel I should take a photo of them so I can keep my sets separated when not in use.

Thoughts?

It's the games quarterly 2011 expansion which came together with the magazine which is now defuncted. The tiles are not that rare. But $4 on Amazon is the cheapest I have seen around.  O0

You found the Games Quarterly #11 mini expansion. It was published and released in that magazine several years ago by Rio Grande Games, I believe.  It has twelve tiles, two of which are used with/to replace tiles from the River I or River II; those expansions are indeed used instead of the normal starting tile (you would need one of the River expansions to work those two tiles into your game).  The rest of the tiles have different configurations than could be found in any expansions up to that point. From your other post, I'm guessing that you have a version of Traders and Builders that doesn't have a pig watermark on the tiles, so yes, taking a picture would be a good way to remember those tiles are separate.

Actually, I do have the expansion with the pig watermark. Thanks much for the explanation. :-)

It's a pity it cannot be shipped to Europe.  :(

What do you mean?
Of course it can be shipped to Europe.

I get this message when I try to order it:
"We're sorry. This item can't be shipped to your selected destination."

That depends on who is selling it.
Some people don't want to ship overseas,
some people don't even want to ship to other countries within Europe.
Check around and you will find someone willing to ship it to you.

I have no doubt about it. But not for this cheap.  :)

When I bought this set down in Milwaukee, I don't think I paid more than $5 or $6 for it...and that included tax.
