Special Russian landscape tiles

[Decar]

No Problem!  I felt a bit bad not having a spare set to give you at the Expo, but now I'm wondering if someone with a legitimate copy could create a high-res scan of the tile - I suspect the results would be better than the kludge I did!

One man's "kludge" is another man's awesome! I agree with the man who thought they were awesome...

[spikey_dino]

Not "kludge"!  Amazing!  They are perfect!

@Rosco - Just PM me you address and I'll get something sorted + not forget!

@danisthirty & @spikey_dino : You're too kind - I just think my Hut image was a little blurry and perhaps it could be improved upon - I just want to get the most out of my new printer

That makes more sense...I was wondering if I sent you some..would you like some?  I'm doing a second batch this week hopefully!

Thanks Decar, I will take you up on that offer. I'll PM you my address.

On a separate note, should these tiles be added to the profile page here on Carcassonne Central? Or do we not yet consider them "official" enough? (My vote is to include them.)

[Hounk]

I think it's because Carcassonne Russian/Cyrillic is: Каркассон  or: karkasson

Sorry rhetorical question. My Russian extends to the alphabet and about five words. I meant I don't understand the market logic of putting it in the Cyrillic alphabet. Obviously I accept that the rules need to be in Russian and the package as well. But the playing experience of Russian players is now impacted because they cannot mix and match Russian and foreign sets - unless they use a bag of course (but that feels wrong).

As far as written in some other thread (regarding the Russian "one tile Count") the versions would not fit anyway, because the tiles from the Russian distributor are different shaped with round corners.

I'm sorry if the answer is somewhere in this thread, I don't have time to read it all, but am wondering if these tiles are considered official now?

What are your criteria for an expansion to be considered official?

They are now listed in the CAR, the "Bible of Carcassonne". Amen!

For me, this is the reason why these tiles are as official as the Dutch Monasteries.

[JT Atomico]

I agree that these should be considered as official tiles.

Could someone who is able to read Russian write down the saying from Bogatyr's stone in Cyrillic script, please?
