Title: Any new expansions coming?
Post by: Christianmocking on August 12, 2019, 01:40:37 PM
Hi guys,

It is a bit quiet lately. Is there any news about new expansions or versions?

Greets,
Christian

*speculation mode* I've not heard anything, though I would hazard a guess of some sort of promo in the incoming Essen.

I'd personally love to see the Minis released (for those without the Carc 2.0 big box) as one expansion, though a big expansion to replace the old Catapult entry might help to cause some noise on here :D

I don't know, the Bigbox wasn't that much to buy here in the Netherlands.

I see them maybe it combining it with Besiegers or something awesomes. ^-^

The two additional colors  :white-meeple: :neutral-meeple: should have been available in mid-August but HiG has delayed their availability. So we are all still waiting.  :(

Yes... Maybe in october?? I don't understand why..  :'(

I was waiting until mid-August so I could order them all together, but I'm still waiting, so I'm tempted to just order the available ones now and order the other two later. Of course, if I do this, then the next day they'll become available. ::)

Bump.

Came here to post almost exactly this.
Hi guys,

It is a bit quiet lately. Is there any news about new expansions or versions?

Greets,
Christian
Is it reasonable to expect there will even be an expansion 11? And if so, is past performance any guide to the timing? What release date would you predict? Likewise for a mini?

Any insights or plain made up wishes on what the content might be?

On a related note, what is the likelihood of C2 Mage & Witch (only available in BB6 I believe) being made available independently do you think? (Are there other expansions/minis stuck in a similar limbo?)

End of October is the Spiel in Essen. I don‘t believe that they publish before Spiel.
Maybe Wheels of fortune C2 or Catapult C2.
So they have no translation issues

A Version 3 would be horrifying so soon. Should support C2 for at-least another 5 years I would hope.

A new expansion could be nice, I'm kind of done buying expansions, I think I'll do Hills & Sheep and maybe The Tower for the heck of it, but I don't really want to touch Princess & Dragons and Under the Big Top. Releasing the Mini expansions would be appreciated, I do kind of need to replace my base and I think I&C because they changed the ground color but I'm not looking to spend that kind of money on it. The mini expansions do seem a little lackluster though, I guess the Messengers, Ferries, and Mage&Witch seem to be the better ones?

I'd like to see Tunnels explored more or maybe traders. I saw some fan expansions like fisher huts on the river or boars and apples in forest tiles but that seems to require a decent size rework to add in new features like forest and playable rivers.

That fffr cloister is incorrect; the princess is in another castle...

Fliers and Goldmines were always my favourites, followed by Mage & Witch. Ferries was always popular with everyone else though. Messengers and Robbers never really stood out for me.

Not sure what to expect anymore, I'm just glad I don't even attempt to navigate the labyrinth of rules that gets increasingly complex every time they do release something!

Is there any history of a similar situation that might give me hope? i.e. C1 mini, re-released in C2 style, but only as part of a BB, but then released independently?

Hmm. Probably, yes. The only one that springs to mind though is Die Belagerers/ The Besiegers. This was first released in a special tin box that was only available from German supermarkets and was limited to 1000 units. The box contained the base game + a brand new expansion: The Besiegers. There was nowhere else this expansion could be found at that time, hence why some of the boxes were going on German eBay for four times their value (there are some old threads about it on here somewhere). Soon afterwards, HiG/ Cundco released it as a shrink-wrapped expansion through their web-shop for a sensible price and it wasn't difficult to get hold of (for a short while)!

So there's some hope, but the situation with the 2012 minis in new art feels distinctly different, so it's difficult to say...

HiG  should release 7 minis as a missing expansion # 7.
7 in 7.

It's not a bad idea and has been discussed before, but it would be the largest expansion to date: 48 tiles, 12 meeples, plus gold bricks, die, bridge pieces, and two neutral meeples. Quite a lot. Enough for two expansions really, if they wanted to spread them out. I'd still prefer a new expansion, though, or one that unified various promos together.

I guess, there will be no C3 design for some years
C2 was released in 2014 - 14 years after first release of C1. Currently we are in year 2020 (just 6 years after C2).
Last year they create new type of playing: Carcassonne Maps in C2 design. They will want to sell them.

Good point is that this year is 20th annyversary. HiG will publish some anniversary/collector edition, like on 10th with transparent Meeples.

About expansions:
BigBox 2017 is still in stores in all of languages. So Minis 1-7 are still available to buy in this box.

What is missing is "Plague/Siege/Belagerer" in C2 design. It will be nice to publish. But it this time, it can be not good ad for HiG or ZMAN or maybe yes (I think first option).

Currently there are only two official expansions which use Farms and Stables or printed Highwaymen - Markets of Leipzig and Tollkeepers.

So maybe it will come some expansion which will use these printed symbols.

Hi,

just for clarification:

Carcassonne are no longer available in stores then HiG switched from Schmidt Spiele zu Asmodee. I guess HiG will left Asmodee soon.

The plague conversion is available here:
Rules (german): here (https://www.carcassonne-forum.de/viewtopic.php?f=352&t=4579&start=165#p64055)
Tiles:
here (https://www.carcassonne-forum.de/viewtopic.php?f=352&t=4579&start=60#p62345)

Under the big top (nearly completed:
All:
here (https://www.carcassonne-forum.de/viewtopic.php?f=353&t=3709&p=68059&hilit=manege+frei#p68059)

What if HiG decides to take over and release the conversions?
Title: Re: Any new expansions coming?
Post by: Meepledrone on March 19, 2020, 12:58:29 PM
HiG should release a new Big Box in 2020 or 2021 too, right?

If so, would they bundle something unreleased yet so you have to invest in coin to get it?

That's what usually happens, even if it's only a slightly different version of a pre-existing expansion with maybe only one or two tiles changed. I'm looking at you BB5...

I'm not craving anything at the moment. I only play with the basegame anyway so I'm sure I can manage without!

I agree... but toying with the idea of something awesome is so exciting.

I think this item - https://cundco.de/zubehoer/332/bundle-tassenuntersetzer-big-meeple-sets - includes all of the tile sets from the other 6 sets so it should only cost €59 (plus shipping) unless I'm mistaken...

The description of the bundle states it includes all 6 coaster sets, and 3 colour sets of the Big Meeples (6 Big Meeples per set)
The Big Meeples are available in 11 colours, and you can pick 3 of them in the bundle..

Big coaster set with 3 meeple sets;   59,00
8 further meeple sets:  8 x 3,99       31,92

Unfortunately, for the worst amongst us (including myself), yes...

I'll probably be ordering them in separate orders, maybe wait until something else comes out and add the big meeple sets to that
