Now that they are moving to cathedrals/temples outside of Europe, I'm seriously expecting more countries depicted.
It'll be a nightmare, though. Think of about the flags emoji in iPhone.

I'm normally a "hooray for everything!" kind of guy. But I admit, even I think this is daft. Definitely one for the completionists as I can't imagine anyone really wanting to play with them. Will this be the first expansion where nobody can be bothered to translate the rules into English? Maybe. Especially if they're in Japanese to begin with.

I just bought the new art Carc because i found a 1st edition box/scoreboard and the guy would only sell it to me if i replaced his box!!! (he hated the 70 point board so had made a new 50 point one anyway!)

Bizarre! That was definitely a good deal for you!

Oh boy, I hope the next expansion is fast food restaurants.  My "drive thru" meeple could get me one point for every connected road and my "restaurant manager" could give me 2 points for every city within a 5 tile radius.   :(n)

Great idea. I think the restaurant manager meeple should get 2 (or more) points for every incomplete city mostly because it's usually only complete cities that win points for stuff like this. But also, because the construction workers building the incomplete city will be the ones who your restaurant manager benefits from the most.

Do they deliver to the US, or will I need to wait a few months for them to land onto ebay?

Yes they do.  It is less than $5 using Paypal to have Cundco ship a small order.  If you order anything large, it gets expensive fast.

That makes so much sense.  I am sorry I didn't think of it.

As long as they are issuing them in Carc 0.2 my compulsion is not stirred. Here's hoping they continue the practice...  ::)

Having been to more than half of the places shown on our honeymoon was a good enough reason to support it for me. Even if it's a tad funky looking.

On the plus side they're all medieval...except maybe Osaka castle....which burnt down and got rebuilt in 1932....sounds a like like the castle at carcassonne.

I think the temples could be used like cult places for Carcassonne II.

*gasp*cough*gag*uck*bleck....

Have I died? Is this Hell? Crap. Well it looks like there will be one Carcassonne expansion I won't be getting. Not only do I not want to patronise CarcII expansions, but the art on these tiles is rather subpar and I just cannot even in my wildest imagination support Japanese temples in medieval Carcassonne. Nope. Can't do it. Not going there. I already have German and Dutch Monasteries, I don't need another expansion that does the same thing, especially when that expansion is in different art and thematically wrong.

And this:

Like France?
