Am I the only one bothered by the Darmstadt expansion? I decided not to buy it because it's just a promotion and it's not medieval, so for me it's not in the spirit of the series. I thought it would just be something quirky for the completionists and it wouldn't really be integrated into the game - and I thought most of the big fans of the game on this forum would see Darmstadt the way I did. But now I see it has become very much integrated into the Carcassonne world here - people are making halflings with Darmstadt tiles, people are including it in their base game setup etc. And this annoys me in an irrational way. Does this mean any city can just make random Carcassonne tiles that have nothing to do with the game? Will we have Eiffel Tower tiles and Reichstag tiles and Jet d'Eau tiles soon and if so, will everyone rush to buy them?
Has anybody done translation for the rules?
Here's my attempt at creating an English rules sheet for the Darmstadt tiles, using the familiar Carcassonne rules look.https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B62Qt7XfvzblWWlhelpEVThaOEk/view?usp=sharing
You cold say that this whole set becomes a "world" expansion. Darmstadt, de kloosters, die moasteries in germany. Its kind of awefull that all the new monasteries use the same mechanics. If they would change a bit..
Yeah, I think Darmstadt is a step up on the "official" ladder from La Porxada but a step down from Spielbox. The fact that the tiles were printed on actual cardstock is something in its favour, but it seems to be more of an official-nod expansion than a full official expansion. I don't expect to see this available from Cundco ever. That being said, you could say the same thing about the Games Quarterly Expansion or Cult, Siege & Creativity, both created by a distributor rather than Hans im Glück. If you want to play the "official" game, then things get murky quick. Kettlefish is needed, though, to make the call.
I dont.have any complains yet aboit the monesteries! butwho knows what other countrys add! if they add though
