Does anybody know about the availability of Wheel of Fortune? I'm struggling to find it available new and used prices are high. Is this currently available in any countries? I use the CAR so I don't need anything to be in English.

Thanks a lot SRBO. Both those stores don't ship to UK. boardandgames.com do for 8 euro. I only just realised that the Starting tile has text on it! Maybe I do want the English version.

Scott - good job providing links!
Did you see the prices for the Canadian ones? $52.28CDN and over $70CDN!!!! Ouch.
Amazon.com starts at $80US and goes UP!!
Amazon UK is $119.67 pounds, which is over$219CDN!
There must be a lot of very rich Carcassonne players in the world, if the expansions are selling for that much.
Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch!!!!

Z-Man hasn't reprinted it under their label yet. I rather hope that when/if they get to Wheel of Fortune, they simply print it as a 17(18?)-tile expansion with only the new components included. It never really needed to be a base game and I think it works better without the extra tiles. The problem is the box would have to be able to fit a 4x4 tile square, which I don't think it is able to do currently. Still, custom boxes are not out of the question: The Tower and The Catapult both required differently-shaped boxes to hold the tile tower and the wooden catapult, respectively.
Speaking of which, isn't it time the Catapult got reprinted? It may be by-and-far the worst expansion ever envisioned by Hans im Glueck, but it still is expansion #7. Z-Man's database just skipped the number, but I'm sure there are a few people out there who don't know about Catapult, scratching their heads.

The Catapult. ^-^ For what it's worth, there's still a few copies in the local stores here in Sweden. More baffling, its price is a little higher than any other expansion.
As for the Wheel of Fortune as an expansion, it sounds like a great idea. This would avoid more basic tiles for those not in need of more. The 4x4 starter would not fit a regular Carcassonne expansion box per se, but it can be divided into 2 sections and thus fit easily.
:meeple:

It may come as a surprise but I resorted to using my wheel of fortune tiles as my main base set. The reason being my base set had too much wear and tear, and they didn't have watermarks which made it a pain to sort from my 4 other expansions that I purchased in the beginning without watermarks. I let my kids play with my old base set as its already well used

Good thing I wasn't drinking anything just now, or it would have shot out my nose. Unfortunately Alliance locked down their web site so I can't see stock status like I used to back in the old days, though Carcatronn could check for us. I suspect the original RGG production run might still be in stock? Even if stock is low, I wouldn't expect a good enough sales forecast to justify a second printing.

"t******9 recently opened a cancel transaction case for an item you recently purchased: Carcassonne - Das Schicksalsrad - Neu.
Reason for cancel transaction request: The seller sold the item to another buyer.

It's Wheel of fortune :)
Aaah.. ok. :)
I miss that "expansion" as well.. :/
On Tori.fi one person was willing to sell it for 35 euros plus shipping costs, a while ago.. Finnish version.. :) (if you are interested, I can give you that persons e-mail address)
I didn't buy it because I thought it was a bit too expensive for me.. :(
-
That would be awesome!

Private message sent to you, my fellow land-mate. :)
I wrote in Finnish, because I figured you understand Finnish,yes? :)
Oh and I read the sellers e-mail and she said it has English rules.. Not Finnish.. Sorry, my memory was wrong. :-[

I just wanted to weigh in on this topic again - I'm still trying to decide if I need to get Wheel of Fortune AND Big Box 5, or only one. ???
Either way I have done some research on this "expansion" and where to buy it.
I'm pretty sure Wheel of Fortune is only available in English (The Wheel of Fortune), Dutch (Het Rad van Fortuin) and German Languages (Das Schicksalsrad) - however the new version included with Big Box 5 (which is available in most of our countries) has a language-independent wheel (it doesn't have any text on it). This might be better suited. Although if you want to have all of the tiles with the watermark you will need to get the stand-alone version, in BB5 only 12 tiles are watermarked.
The Wheel of Fortune and Das Schicksalsrad are both out of print - Het Rad van Fortuin is the only version in print, although you may be able to find the other two if you are lucky or are happy to pay a lot. Das Schicksalsrad also includes a novel, in German, if that interests you.
A lot of online shops in The Netherlands only delivery to their own country (and Belgium too usually) - so finding a way to get Het Rad van Fortuin delivered to you can be difficult. The following shops deliver to the UK (and should to other countries too) - I have listed the price of the game and the shipping cost to the UK:
| Shop | Price | Shipping (to UK) | Total (€) |
| thegamefreak.nl | € 22.80 | € 17.50 | € 40.30 |
| boardandgames.com | € 23.50 | € 9.99 | € 33.49 |
| boardgameshop.eu | € 22.50 | € 18.00 | € 40.50 |
| spelmagazijn.be | € 22.95 | € 12.50 | € 35.45 |
| summoner.nl | € 21.95 | € 15.00 | € 36.95 |
They are all around the same price but the shipping costs vary greatly. Big Box 5 can be had for €42 (plus shipping) on Amazon.de and would, for example, cost about €7.50 for shipping to the UK.
Hopefully this is of use to some of you. Happy Shopping! O0
