I dont think there will be any that you can export.
You can watch replays at BGA for example, and it will have the turn by turn transcript showing, but I don't think there's an option to export that

it is included in the Collections & Expansions page.
Currently listed as the 1st printing of Count, King & Robber expansion in Finnish.

Unfortunately, it's not as straightforward as that, as Linksux menitoned;
This box was released in Finland only, before the Count,King&Robber expansion was a thing in Germany or any other markets. I don't know if Lautapelit knew of Exp. 6, but here we go.
As it was released there before Abbey&the Mayor, it is even marked on the box as Exp 5.
Due to this, Abbey&Mayor in Finnish was numbered as 6 (and they've retained this in the C2 re-releases).

Kreivi ja Kuningas doesn't include the Cult, but does have the Scout tiles.

We can add a footnote for the C&E page, and i'll look to see if i can write up a good additional entry for the Variants page. Probably will add it under the "Limited Editions" header, as there doesn't seem to be a better header for it atm

(Bonus fun fact; as C1 Count,King & Robber was not released in Sweden, the Catapult was numbered as expansion 6. They did number B,C&B as nr 8 though)

Be careful not to look too deep into the Carcassonne rabbit hole  ;)

I almost forgot to post this one, which arrived yesterday!

For winning the CarcassonneCentral advent puzzle on Facebook, Scott was so kind to put together this package!

Can't wait to try these out in a game!

I think the distribution might be more split per language rather than country specific.
And yes, a bilingual country like Belgium makes something like that more complex.
999 Games has the distribution of the game in Dutch, Asmodee France (under the Z-Man Games brand) have it in French.
So it makes sense for both to be involved in the Belgian market.
(And I would argue in some parts in the east you could expect some German releases from HiG/Asmodee Germany, but let's not complicate it further)

In the early days (when HiG was doing the publishing in French themselves), 999 Games even included some french rules in some expansion boxes. This stopped, probably at similar time of when Filosofia took in the french distribution.
It gets complex hahaha

The rules regarding the national championships can and will differ between countries, so do read up on that.
For some you have to have the nationality, for some you have to live there, for some you can enter but just not represent the country at the world championships (if you win).
One thing to note, is that the world championship rules state that you're only allowed to enter 1 national championship per year. Meaning you are technically not allowed to travel to a bunch of countries to try and win one and enter the world championships that way.
If you don't win any national championship, then this wouldn't come up, but just a note from the world championships rules.

If you want to practise a bit on 4-player games, I'm happy to join some as well. Look me up on BGA (Willem88), and do send me a DM here as I dont always get BGA notifications

Also, as I told him on the group: "if it's not listed on Wica, it's not official enough for me, that's my excuse" (and this avoids me using the very few € Carcassonne left me before finding the few expansions I'm still missing :D )

Anyway: do you have more info about this tile? I think I heard about it on the forum but can't find it anymore... Was it a fan made tile?

Be careful, I can just as easily add it to the WICA  ;)

It is a fan made tile, almost more as a wink or even a joke. Made by @MMike !
I got one from him, as have some others, and I got mine even signed by Klaus-Jurgen Wrede, along with other Spiel tiles  ;D

But it is not an "officially" produced tile

Asmodee don't distribute Carcassonne in Belgium, I believe it's 999 Games for both NL and Belgium.
And they usually outsource the organisation of both BE and NL championships, although they sponsor it of course.

With Belgium being bilingual, I would imagine it shouldn't be an issue for french speaking people to join in.
The only thing I'm not sure of is if there are any rules regarding entry.
Some countries have rules stating you're only allowed to participate if you live in the country, or have the nationality.
For the Dutch championship I know you can always enter, however you are only allowed to represent NL at the World Championships if you have the Dutch nationality (last year the tournament was won by someone from Belgium, so te runner up went to Essen (and came in 3rd overall)

Good luck! The 4-player games can be tricky and catch people out, so best to practise those!

Very nice! Must've been hard to find!
But do you have the Spiel 1 tile though?  ;)

I got a visit from mister postman today as I was in the office;


With this arrival, I am almost complete in my line up of C3 base games. Only 1 remaining, which is waiting for me at my parents, so I'll soon have them all together!

My good friend the postman stopped by this morning, and brought me these!


My friend from the Ukraine has been great finding the Russian copy of the Discovery, and added a copy of the Ukrainian Carcassonne Junior at my request!
Very happy with these 2!

Pretty much, yeah.
The scoretrack is printed in the wrong side of the cardboard, and the other side is white.
They got 2 stickers on them, had KJW sign them and gave them very simple rules. Then sell them for charity, and its become a true collectors item now, as I believe there were only 250 of them

Thanks Scott! And also for getting them to offer 8-meeple sets, instead of the silly 6 hahahaha
Now I'm still in doubt, however let's see what happens....

The story behind them i find more interesting than the scoreboard itself, but it is a fun entry into the world of Carcassonne  ;D
Congrats on finding one, and hopefully it didn't costs you an arm and/or leg  ;)
