at CarcF (http://carcassonne-forum.de/viewtopic.php?f=155&t=2750) the members have found the first look at the box for the expansion Inns and Cathedrals.
the logo is from MindOK - license partner from HiG for the Czech and Polish.
Here comes the link...
Carcassonne Gra Planszowa at facebook (https://www.facebook.com/CarcassonnePL/photos/a.122680191262779.1073741828.119794344884697/375132429350886/?type=1&theater)
And the dumb-looking, highly Romanticised art continues on the boxes. Woo. Pass.

I'm happy about that, I finished the collection, or need something new to buy or go through withdrawal :)
-
Well at least this confirms plans for the game I suppose…I think I'm actually now most disappointed that we have to sit through re releases of all the previous expansions before we are likely to get anything new (complete assumption on my part mind).
I'm certainly not going to rebuy everything again in the new art style. When something new comes out I'll perhaps consider it. But I wouldn't consider classic expansions part of the new style really. At least not for my personal collection.

I guess I need to quickly complete my collection before the proper artwork becomes unavailable.

This is interesting - with google translator -
the 6th colour is now violet and not grey...
-
Violet or Pink?
-
hmm - you are right it is pink = różowy
-
Yes, this is pink.
It saddens me that the old addons have new graphics, more hoping for new additions to the old graphics. It also means that additives such as tunnel, crop circles I and others will not be issued with the old graphics :(. Even sadder is that it is a rehash chop :/.
-
I'm going to play devil's advocate here and come right out and say that I actually quite like the look of the new/ old/ re-released expansions. Since I own the new art version of the base game anyway I'll probably end up buying these at some point... :o

Also, I've never liked the grey meeples anyway. :gray-meeple: :(n)
-
Good for You.
-
What do you buy the Carcassonne-fan who has everything....
CarcassonneII plus expansions :(y)
I'm just glad, it looks like they've finally decided to make a decision.
-
Hmmm, on one hand it's great that they have made a decision now and are sticking this direction, but on the other hand I'm a little disappointed at the mixed signals last year - I invested in the now old edition with Hills and Sheep in the same year a new edition pops out.
Will there be any more catering to the old edition or will we need to eventually 'upgrade' to Carcassonne II if completely new expanions (with the new art only) appear the horizon?
I'm not grumbling though, as I'm sure I will end up buying an inevitable Big Box if new edition-only expansions/new art versions of past promos appear!
As for the pink meeples, I'm all for them - they seem more exciting than dull grey :D
-
Hopefully, there will be new fan expansions with the old style. I think that's easier to design. I also like many fan expansions, because they are my favorites to play with.

These two expansions have been made available by the French Publisher:
Inns and Cathedrals 2.0:

Builders and Traders 2.0:

You can see two of the InC Tiles, it's interesting the Inns dont have watermarks.

Maybe they are trying to make the same mistakes with 2.0 that they did with 1.0 :)
Meanwhile, the Cathedral tiles look pretty bad in my opinion. I'm happy to not be getting anything 2.0.
-
look at the trade materials. they are squares now.
-
If the trade tokens are now tiles, same size as the tiles we play, I'm all for it. Easier to pack and stack. Of course, they could do a little more colour or a new shape instead of a blank background. :yellow-meeple:

Thanks for the links Decar! Merit for you... :(y)

I agree. I'm not keen on these tiles at all. They look very plain/ boring compared to the original cathedrals.

I can see the logic in this, and I'm sure there's a good business case for it too (in terms of printing costs and keeping everything standard). But I don't much care for just printing the same icon in the middle of a standard tile and having a plain background. These just look like somebody forgot to cut them out. :(n)

I had the same idea.. pretty weird looking..

To me they do not mind, especially since the tiles are different, presenting a different perspective for each cathedral. I've never been a huge fan of identical tiles.
I have always found as a defect of having many tiles perfectly identical in the old edition, a goat or a bush in order to diversify more, I would have appreciated.
The abbot pink!!! :pink-meeple:

Quevy, it means that you are the only one who can provide us a gray Abbott. You will receive a lot of orders.
