Title: Carcassonne Spin-Off - Around the World #2
Post by: kettlefish on July 14, 2014, 10:02:06 PM
Here are some pictures - a small look to the next coming Carcassonne - Around the World #2:

the riddle at HiG this week:

English name is pretty obvious :)
As I understood correctly, we need to offer a German name for this game in order to take part in a lottery, am I right?
In this case I will ask for a help from my wife ;)

I'm just going to go and say Wilder Westen. I'm quite happy with this new game and sad that I won't be able to get it for a few years. I hope Z-man bundles it with its inevitable winter expansion, at least. Friday really should have been bundled with South Seas in the US market.

Finally they released something about the new spin-off! It was eating me up inside not saying anything  :-X ... It's going to be interesting to see what the mechanics are!

Miners, saloon owners, gunslingers...

I believe that there will be no roads but rivers where you search for the gold. Maybe there could be a rail, but I see it quite strange.
Title: Re: Carcassonne Spin-Off - Around the World #2
Post by: Whaleyland on July 16, 2014, 09:43:07 AM
Yeah, that depends on the actual theme. If it's Wild West, then the railroad would make more sense to have than dirt roads. If it's the Gold Rush, then roads would make more sense – railroads weren't in the west that early.

Post by: danisthirty on July 17, 2014, 03:50:42 AM
I’m not quite sure what we’re supposed to be guessing but here are a couple of (fairly obvious) names I like the sound of:

- Carcassonne: Wild West
- Carcassonne: Cowboys and Indians ?
- Carcassonne: Gold Fever/ The Gold Rush

(can someone please point me in the right direction if I’m barking up the wrong tree here?)

As for the mechanics, I have no idea. But I like the idea that a meeple in a city (or equivalent) could be a Sheriff! I also like to imagine that horses could be involved somehow, and that points could be quite closely linked to gold or discovering it somehow.

From the HiG-website:
Quote
wie wird denn das 2. Spiel der Serie heißen? Wir suchen den deutschen Titel. Die Fotos geben euch sicherlich einen kleinen Tipp. Auch, wenn dieser womöglich in der falschen Sprache zu sehen ist ;)

What will be the name of the 2nd game of the series? We are looking for the german title.
The photos give a hint. Although it is possibly in a wrong language

In the photos there is only one hint in a non-german language - I think you only have to translate in into german.

Thanks Fritz_Spinne, I guess I should have read earlier posts more carefully...

In that case my suggestion is: Explorations-und der Goldrausch

The German rules are now great, because of our correction reading.

I like the new game, but I can't say more about it.

At Carcassonne-Forum (CarcF) we have almost the same discussion about this new game...

Here is the link to CarcF:

Wow...what a different cover...not at all what I was expecting.
Very different look from the other Carc games. Very Grindhouse-esque.
I like it though, wonder what the tiles and components look like.

I like the tiles and the other components of this game...

The cover changes during that time when I did the correction reading of the rules...
So the cover of the German rulebook is a bit different than that picture from the link some postings above.

Here comes almost the following information what I have written to Scott by email:
Quote
Hi Scott,
I think there is some confusion about the cover of "Carcassonne Goldrausch".
The design of the cover comes from the graphic artist who works for HiG.
 
This picture shows an early graphic long before the final cover version was finished.
Game overview based on a prototype (http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1225959/game-overview-based-prototype)
 
This picture shows the final version of the cover - HiG has the same cover (not only ZMG and filosophia).
Carcassonne - Gold Rush - ZMG (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/2227130/carcassonne-gold-rush)
 
I did 3x correction reading during the work of the German rules for HiG.
But all the covers which I have seen hadn't the layout like this one from the first link above. All the covers I have seen have the Indian...
 
During my correction reading the cover changes a bit more...
I will ask HiG if I am allowed to post the different covers later...
 
Please say some words at CarcC facebook, that the cover comes originally from HiG even the layout of the ZMG version...
And that HiG will have also this cover. (see the second link).

It looks like there’s a lot going on in that picture.

Having read the rules, does it seem simple enough to understand compared with, say, South Seas?

No, it is not like South Seas.

Klaus-Jürgen Wrede told me last year, that his birthday present "Birthday in the Land of Cockaigne" reminded him of the use of the tokens similar to Carcassonne Goldrush.

Post by: wamboyil on October 18, 2014, 02:09:14 PM
Hi kettlfish,

I'm not sure if I understand your comment. I really did do all the work on this myself (as I have done for many Carcassonne items in the past).  I started with the original German PDF from HiG, opened each page in Adobe Illustrator, and then took each page apart piece by piece so I could isolate only the text parts, then inserted the English translation, and re-saved it back to a new PDF.

I enjoy doing it, for the community as well as for myself. This way, I don't have to wait for the English version of the game, and I can get the HiG version now!  :)
Title: Re: Carcassonne Spin-Off - Around the World #2
Post by: kettlefish on October 18, 2014, 02:29:37 PM
Yes, but HiG will never give an original English version of the German rules.

At your document I can't find who did the translation. It is really not official.
The only official English version of the rules is by Z-man games.

All kettlefish is saying is that since the translation isn't endorsed by HiG or ZMG, wamboyil should put his own name in it as the translator. I don't thing the term "Fan Translation" is necessary, perhaps something more like "Translated by Wamboyil for CarcassonneCentral" or something like that. Thus the fan part is implied but not awkward.

Yes, it's good to distinguish this as a fan-made translation so that we know it's more accurate than the official English rules that will be published by Z-Man Games. >:D

Excellent work, as always, wamboyil! I'm really excited to get my hands on this game.
