Ok. I found possible 2 "logical" bugs in Expansion Selector.
1st situation:
We are playing Base game with Under the Big Top (Exp 10), but only Ringmaster. So we are playing all tiles from base game, and all tiles from Expansion 10.
So when I score Feature with Ringmaster, then I have to score also 2 points per Acrobat space and per Circus space.
But if I don't have checked Circus or Acrobats space in expansion selector, I will not have rules for scoring Ringmaster in Game references page.
I think it's wrong, because if I checked Circus means, that I have a circus game mechanics in a game. The same for Acrobats.
This extra condition was added on purpose, assuming that no acrobats/circus meant no acrobat/circus spaces either. I could relax this constraint... Not an issue. 2nd situation:
Opposite situation is, in Expansion 11. I can play tiles, but none of Cemetery, Ghosts, Guard meeplese. But there is a mist. How to handle this?
For the logic, ghosts and mist go together. If no ghosts, no mist. Do you prefer a separate option for mist?

- Gingerbread Man: Here we go with the first question... - Joe Crab: What is it about? - Lilly Crab: Is it difficult? - Tweedy Crab: How many expansions... - Tweety Crab: ...does it include? - The Grinch: Will you ALL shut up? - Tweedy Crab: Who are... - Tweety Crab: you? - The Grinch:  - Tweedy Crab: We don't... - Tweety Crab: like you... - Tweedy Crab: ...at all!!! - The Grinch:  - Lilly Crab: Kids, kids! Leave this disgusting sir alone? - The Grinch: You too? - The Grinch: I always love a violent exchange!  - Joe Crab: Let there be peace! Let's see how the quiz starts... - The Grinch: Not at all!!! I want to... - Tweedy Crab: Shhhhhhhh! - Tweety Crab: Shhhhhhhh! - Lilly Crab: Shhhhhhhh! - Joe Crab: Shhhhhhhh! - The Grinch: (opening his mouth) ... - Tweedy Crab: Shhhhhhhh! - Tweety Crab: Shhhhhhhh! - Lilly Crab: Shhhhhhhh! - The Grinch:  - Gingerbread Man: Ahem! Ahem! Thank you! Let's go!!!
Question #1: The Gingerbread Man wants you to help him score this scenario during the game. How many points will each player score after Red places this wonder tile? Notes:* This question only uses normal meeples. No large meeples were used. * We are considering the current rules for non-square tiles (C2/C3). If you use the C1 rules, please indicate so. * This is a mid-game scenario. The game goes on for a few more turns.

Carcassonne, Castle district... (a bit later)  - The Grinch: I'm coming! Where is that Meepledrone minion? - Santa Claus: He was giving the final touches to... - The Grinch: Don't try to defend him... That lazy meeple must be hiding somewhere to skip work... Again!!! - The Grinch: If I don't take control, nothing would be ever finished... - Danisthirty: - Gingerbread Man: - Snowman: If you did nothing... - Gingerbread Man: Shhhh! - The Grinch: (staring at the Snowman) Where did I put the heater...? - Snowman: Gotta go! Have a nose in the freezer... - Santa Claus: Don't be like that... - The Grinch: Too late! Today I feel specially heinous!!! - Danisthirty: How so? - The Grinch: Can't you feel that hate is in the air? - Gingerbread Man: I thought it was your cologne... - Danisthirty: Did you get it for Christmas? - Santa Claus: (in a low voice) Sorry! - The Grinch: You like it?  - Gingerbread Man: It smells like scorched mee... - The Grinch: I would like to refill my bottle? Any volunteers...? - Fir Tree: (a brunch breaks) - Santa Claus: Ahem! Ahem! Shall we revisit the rules of the Advent Quiz? - Danisthirty: What a lovely idea!!!   Between the 1st and 24th December we will post a small Carcassonne scoring question each day (at a random time), to which the answer will be points scored by one or more players according to the question (and maybe some side questions). Each question will be presented by a member of the Meeple Council, who will indicate the number of expansions but will not participate as a meeple in the scenario itself. Here is a reference:
| - Gingerbread Man | 1 expansion | | - Snowman | 2 expansions | | - Santa Claus | 3 expansions | | - Danisthirty | 4 expansions | | - The Grinch | 5 expansions (or more, of course ) |
 When you know the answer, don't post it on this thread!  Because then everyone will know, and we don't want that. Instead, send Meepledrone a PM including the question number and your answer for that day. He won't respond to your PM (please don't be offended), but if you get the answer correct you will win one or more quiz points depending on the question.
 There's no cut-off date for any particular questions so don't despair if you miss any. You can even answer all 24 questions on Christmas Eve if you want.
 Once Christmas and Boxing Day are behind us, the correct answers will be posted – one at a time – along with who won the points and total scores per participant. Contestants with the same number of points will be sorted by the time they took to respond. This is where it gets really fun! 
 The overall winner will be the person with the most points at the end of the quiz, but there is likely to be a small prize for everyone who answers all questions regardless of whether they manage to answer any of them correctly. It will be a surprise. 
Any questions, please ask now. Otherwise, you can expect question 1 of 24 sometime on December 1st! 
- The Grinch: Whaaaat? No points boost for players answering first... - Santa Claus: Nope. The response time will help resolve ties, but the winner will be the player who answers the most correct questions. - Gingerbread Man: Of course, the faster the better... - The Grinch: I hate the idea... Let's do it!

At the same time...  - Joe Crab: Will this ever stop? - Lilly Crab: These mists over Carcassonne should go away eventually... and yet... - Tweedy Crab: Can we go... - Tweety Crab: ...play with them? - Lilly Crab: Not a chance...

Hard pass! - Joe Crab: Darling, let's see what the Meeple Council is up to!!! - Lilly Crab: Ah yes!!! The Advent Quiz should be starting any soon! - Joe Crab: Come on kids!

They've been silent for a week or so...
They must be focusing on the Advent Campaign...

Needed to add something to an Amazon order to get free shipping, so this was what I choose:
The cover is the nicest part of the very thin book. The typesetting is very amateur. There are literally hyperlinks in various places which are completely useless in a printed book.

The printed a PDF as is... Did you click on the links with a pencil? Any ideas for a fan expansion?

It is following the Christmas-y theme... Odd enough, since they have no WE2 or WE3 on sale on Cundco... It would be great if they re-release the WE minis in WE3....

Hi all, For those unaware of what it is really going on, I will just break it for you: Christmas is coming!!! Again... So does Winter... at least in the Northern Hemisphere! In preparation of the coming events, here at Carcassonne Central, a lot is happening behind the scenes once again. The Meeple Council is in session discussing whether wonder tiles should be counted as 1 tile or as 5 tiles for the dragon... This is just a smoke screen, because the real agenda for today is... The Advent Calendar Quiz MMXXIII Stay tuned, because on December 1st Fate will be knocking at your door... Will you be there to open? What surprises will it bring? Ready or not, the clock is ticking! Can you hear it?

Ha ha ha! This sounds like an echo of the ranting about C2 when it came out...

Here we have a dilemma: Even if ghosts are supposed to be spirits, should be scared of the dragon? * Should ghosts be treated like any other neutral figures in the dragon's meal plan even if not assigned to any meeple: such as the Mage, the Witch and the Gingerbread Man? * Should ghost follow the lead of phantoms and be removed by the dragon? Or should ghosts be the only exception as a figure defining a character (not cosidering other pieces such as bridges or tower pieces, to name a couple of them) and ignore the dragon when on the same tile? A tile with the dragon and several ghosts can become very crowded...

Hey All, Just hoping for a little help from you Carcassonne Geniuses. Always really, really wanted the Carcassone Winter edition and as there seemed to be only 3 copies left I went and ordered it from Amazon at the bellow link.
Just had a couple of questions if anyone cares to help:
1. This does appear to be a legit copy of the game right? Recently purchased a fake and don't want to repeat that again.
It is a very disappointing experience indeed. 2. This is the Muller edition right?
Correct. This is what we call WE2: It includes The River but not The Abbot. 3. Does this seem like a good deal? It's $70 Australian, which is a little expensive, but it was just a German exclusive right? And not likely to get any better offers on this side of the world am I?
A bit expensive but it seems in line with other Carcassonne items on sale. If the shipping is okay, it may be a good deal. This is WE2 on Amazon.de just in case you'd like to compare: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Asmodee-Carcassonne-Players-Minutes-Version/dp/B0BCD4FTVS/ref=sr_1_1?crid=33K6LBJQ1N1KX&keywords=carcassonne%2Bwinter%2Bedition&qid=1701032910&sprefix=cacassonne%2Bwinter%2Caps%2C267&sr=8-1&th=14. Don't suppose there's anywhere reasonable to get Corn Cirles, is there?
You may check on this German site, where you may find offers at a lower price than eBay. You will have to contact th seller to arrange the shipping. https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/carcassonne-erweiterung-die-kornkreise-winter-edition-neu-ovp/2388812810-23-13372If anyone thinks i've made a bad decision and thinks I should cancel it, i'd really appreciate the help. Cheers! :-D

If the source is reliable, there is no shame in getting Winter Edition stuff. It is a nice addition to anyone's collection... And witt the right fan expansions you may play a Winter + Summer Carcassonne game...
