Marvellous, just ordered mine.

What do you smoke? I want this stuff :)

I think it's interesting in just how glaringly out of style it is.

Besides, I collect all the Carc 2.0 expansions because I'm insane.

These will take me over 500 different tiles for Carcassonne.

I enjoyed my first game of Carc II yesterday which I'll purchase when the first big box arrives.  I'll use this with the new artwork instead of the German or Dutch/Belgian versions.

There is a Japanese language version of Carcassonne I believe, this expansion may be of interest for that market.

I hope they do many more countries, UK, New Zealand, US, Russia....maybe even some French religious sites.  ;)

I did some analysis on UK Castles a while ago, one to represent each of sovereignty of the United Kingdom.  Nothing would irritate me more than 6 castles from England.

Here's the post:

I'm not sure I understand people's disgust of the theme.  If German and Dutch components are allowed to existing in a fictional South of France why shouldn't Japanese components?  Japan holds over 35 regional events to find their nation's champion which is far more than many other countries and they have produced a World Champion.  I think a Japanese expansion is quite apt and truly represents how the game of Carcassonne has spread across the globe, joining nations together with a common sport. 

As it stands, in my opinion, the art isn't fantastic, but thematically I think it's great.

these are great! However, i'd argue you're missing one of the most beautiful castles in the world. Eileen Donan. and then i'd put in conwy castle as well as it's your quintessential looking castle and also because i spend a lot fo time there it's probably my fave.

i totally agree. Carcassonne, although a French town, is a German game and a worldwide phenomenon. I'd love to see these mini expansions from all over the world echoing how global this game truly is. I mean, I travelled through South America and saw it in many hostels and bars out there!

You know they are completely compatible to all Carcassonne Classic editions - because of the backs!

I can see things have changed since this first posted.

The 3 phases of Carcassonne addiction:
1. Realizing an expansion is pointless, ridiculous, ugly, or in this case all 3.
2.  Making a few arguments as to why it isn't completely horrible.  I mean it's better than a sharp stick in the eye right?
3.  Ordering from Cundco

My sentiments exactly. That said, I'll still give it a miss if it turns out to be carc2.

So, looks like these were added to the website in error and will only be available at Spiel '16:

http://cundco.de/detail/index/sArticle/144/sCategory/12

Sadly there has been a misunderstanding with our partner in Japan. Due to this issue, the temples will not be availbale before fall this year, starting with "Spiel2016" in Essen. All orders already taken and beeing payed, will be shipped of course. We are very sorry for the inconvienience.

I knew i should have ordered a few of them!!!

well, at least they are honoring the orders!

That's jolly decent of Cundco - They could just cancel my order.

I wonder if having contacted my contact, the mistake was discovered :( I will find out later no doubt.

That's a very good thing. I hope they will make use of this extra time to read the comments and contact Doris Matthäus!!
