Mmm seeing these tiles next to one another makes me think how much I love the classic Doris Matthäus artwork. It is so lovely and, personally, I have no problem saying one is clearly superior to the other one.

On an unrelated note, you don't need gardens to play with the Abbott. Just use the much nicer and thematic vineyards. There's plenty of them, too if you combine Hills and Sheep, River III    and Halflings II

I must be in the minority here. I had the HiG version at some point but I gave it away and I'm happy to own just the Spielbox version. I consider them as two versions of the same identical expansion and prefer the Spielbox for the following reasons:
1) the HiG version has colors that don't match the tiles of my collection. The dark green color of the farms is horribly off.
2) the HiG version has language specific lettering (the German O and W for East and West). It would be the only tiles in my collection with such peculiarity. I consider the Spielbox version to be the "international edition"
3) Nothing will prevent playing the Spielbox version with either rule set. The quadrants are clearly identified, even without letters. And the colors of the tiles  matches my version of Carcassonne.

I own the 12-tile version, but I bought the single tile for completion. Too bad the single tile has the orribile dark green instead of the classic light green of standard tiles.
BTW, I decided I will frame the single tile and hang it in my bedroom

I wonder if the tile distribution in BB5 WoF versus standalone WoF does change the game somewhat. I mean, standalone WoF has 72 tiles, BB5 WoF 84...

Official Rules / Re: Carcassonne RCA (Regolamento Completo Aggiornato)

Grazie tantissimo per questo mastodontico regolamento completo.
Per future edizioni suggerirei di usare dei termini coerenti con l'edizione ufficiale italiana (ad esempio barn = granaio anziché fattoria), per non creare confusione. Per il resto è davvero un compendio eccezionale!

The Marketplace / WTB catapult tokens
« on: February 07, 2016, 12:24:50 PM »
Hi, in order to make my 8-player Carcassonne complete, I need 2 additional catapult tokens of each kind (8 tokens total). Anyone willing to part with them? emoji code6]

I own River II as part of the 6. Expansion (Count, King and Robber).
I also have the BB5 River.
Finally, I have the GQ11 River tiles, which I consider an expansion of River II (since one is IDENTICAL with one of the River I/III tiles).
Don't miss the original River at all.

The Marketplace / WTB Hills and Sheep cloth bag
« on: January 23, 2016, 07:30:36 AM »
Hi, as the title says, I'm looking for one of those white cloth bags that comes with the H&S expansion. I have the Big Box edition and the bag is not included.
Anyone willing to sell one and to ship it to Italy please send a PM.

I would like just the pink and grey ones. But do you also ship to Italy?

I own both. Damn OCD made my pay a lot to get CC1 (although not as much as Tunnel)

Define 'a lot'? Would it be the cost of a coffee or a mortgage?
Let's say that with what I paid for CC1 and Tunnel I could have bought a Big Box + a regular game emoji code29]

General / Re: Completionism Poll #1: Cathars, Siege and Besiegers
« on: January 22, 2016, 05:53:47 AM »
I have both Cathars and Besiegers. I don't own siege because:
1) It's the same tiles as Cathars but with worse artwork
2) the siege tiles don't have a proper icon or watermark, so it's a pain to sort them out
