Here's a description for The Wind Roses:

Before your very eyes, the entire Carcassonne board becomes a giant compass! Know your North from your South, or your East from your West? With The Wind Roses, the race is on to match up special tiles with their correct compass points.

Very good! :) :(y)

I think we'll have to wait and see what comes out of Spielfest before we find out the answer to this specific question. There's still the lingering question of if Hans im Glück is going to release the Spielbox expansions as a new boxed set. Or, for that matter, any of the currently unavailable expansions.

Given that they seem to have made their decision on Carc 1 v Carc 2 in favour of Carc 2 with the publication of new editions of I&C and T&B, it doesn't seem likely that they're suddenly going to come out with a new boxed set in the old artwork. Aren't the existing large expansions in the old artwork already becoming increasingly difficult to find?

Point. It actually begs the question: are they going to release any of the pre-Carc2 expansions on the new site? It doesn't really make sense to.

It does if they still have loads of them in stock and a potential Carc 1 fan-base who might be interested in buying any of them...

True, but there are other ways to unload old stock, including BGG, conventions, and local retailers (I.e., in Germany).

If they do sell both versions, it'll be interesting to see how HiG presents the two versions on the site because this would presumably represent their current thinking on the issue. Will the site lean heavily towards Carc 2 and its two big expansions, with a token link saying 'Oh by the way, if you like the original Carcassonne, click here'? Or will they stick with Carc 1 as the main selling point because there are so many more expansions (and thus potential further sales) available? Or will they all be mixed together as part of the 'the two versions are completely compatible because the backs are the same' fallacy*?

* Wikipedia: A fallacy is the use of poor, or invalid, reasoning for the construction of an argument.

I think they will mix it together, maybe present a kind of filter to apply, if you want to search just for one or the other, but not really necessary. Most likely, if you go for the "big expansions", they just list it like that:
  • Inns & Cathedrals (1st Edition)
  • Inns & Cathedrals (2nd Edition)
  • Traders & Builders (1st Edition)
  • Traders & Builders (2nd Edition)
  • Princess & Dragon (1st Edition)
  • The Tower (1st Edition)
...etc. And as soon as the old stock is gone, it will disappear from the shop. But it really does not make sense, that they won't sell it officially, as long as they have it.
