I've got a couple of questions regarding the rules:

For the Score an Uncompleted Road card, is the road scored as if end of the game and then the points doubled, or is it scored as if end of game with an additional point awarded per tile? I'm thinking if a road is awarded bonus points from other mechanics (eg mage/little buildings/etc), are those points also doubled? (I would assume it is a case of the points being doubled due to the ×2 symbol being used as opposed to a +1 symbol)

For the Shared Farm card that awards +1 extra point per completed city when there is no majority to the farm, is this applied to a single shard farm, or can it be applied to multiple?

(Sorry if this isn't the place to post questions/these have been answered elsewhere)

Here's a link to the editable files of the boxes I designed.

edit: Whaleyland, I rememeber managing to convert your pages file to a microsoft document, but I've had a check and I don't think I have a copy of either anymore I'm afraid.

*edit 2024: I've been doing a little spring cleaning and moved all of the files over to another Google account. If you're struggling to find them, try this link.

I have no issue with the boxes being translated - I'll see if I can find the original office documents for you both.

I love seeing all my boxes still in use. I never ended up making ones for the last few Carcassonne 1 expansions, or for things like the scoring tiles. Are you planning on sharing your files? I'd love to print them out.

Here's the first batch of boxes: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4SM1-y3YepiV1BVX3NiMElGV1E/view?usp=sharing&resourcekey=0-K8R-Lb5mplrFS3ODoPhHMw
And the recent link for the pnp expansions: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CAm3wsXps8FncgL_eSadZwit-r6OTYv-/view?usp=sharing

All credit, and a big thanks, goes to Whaleyland for the designs - it's fair to say without them I'd be struggling to fit everything into the box.

edit: updated the links, you should hopefully not need to request permission now.

And here's the updated collection


With the new boxes


And with Easter in Carcassonne, I've added in another figure


The other update I've made is that I've made a bunch of tunnel tokens to match all of the player colours


The tunnel tokens came out ok. I used a hollow punch to cut through some spare tiles I had, and printed the designs onto some sticker paper for the front. The punch was only pretty cheap so it wasn't amazing, took several attempts to get enough circles that weren't bent in two. Still, I think that's now all of the official CI content with 17 fully playable colours. I just need a bag of Mini Eggs now...

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I've recently made some tuckboxes for the pnp expansions (City Gates, Easter in Carcassonne & The Fortune Teller) - Easter in Carcassone is two tiles wide as it fits nicely behind my box for the German Castles.

I thought I'd post the link here so both links are together:

I may well take some updated pics of my collection in a few days so you can see how they look printed.

We just finished creating our gaming table by "hacking" our dining table.

https://boardandgamer.com/articles/diy/2021/09/05/transformer-une-table-en-table-de-jeu-de-societe/

Great conversion! As it happens, I've just finished adding a base to my own Bjursta - I'll have to upload some photos later.

Can I ask, do you put the original table tops back on?

I recently found a copy of Star Trek: Fleet Captains and its first expansion going for cheap on ebay due to a couple of the models being bust. I've been meaning to pick up some kind of miniatures game, and as a casual Trek fan I thought I'd check it out.

The game sells its self as the show in a box and it pretty much succeeds in that goal, with the Federation gameplay geared more towards exploration, the Klingons focused on combat, and the Romulans based on being sneaky bastards. Game length (and to a certain extent, complexity) is massively variable through the ship drafting mechanic at the start, and I've enjoyed the few games I've had enough to try and patch up the broken models.

I've managed to fix up two of the broken ships, but in order to finish the last one, I'm after a copy of the dial for the IRW Valdore. The ships stats can be tracked on its card in the ship deck, but the novelty of the click track hasn't yet worn off for me. If anyone here has a copy of the Valdore, I'd be massively grateful if you could scan in the dial from the ship's base and send me a copy so I can print it off and replace the dial from a spare base I have :D

I can't make this one, I'm afraid; but if anyone's ever visiting Sheffield, I can't recommend https://www.treehousesheffield.com/ highly enough. Great staff, food & selection of games :(y)

Oh, I didn't realise Board Game Extras had them in stock too, thanks for the heads up! - I've been holding off buying the tertiary colour sets to see if meeplesource had any kind of celebratory sale after moving their HQ, but I can now hopefully save a bit on shipping if I can get them from BGE.

edit: nope, they've marked the prices up, so its actually cheaper to have them shipped from the US.

Meeplesource are selling 19 piece player sets that include both the abbot and ringmaster in brown, Orange, white, pink, and purple. Unfortunately, they don't have  have any unpainted, but they do have a set in lime green.

Interesting that they chose to include the lime green colour.

I see they're also now selling complete 19-piece meeple sets in ten alt colours: pink, purple, orange, white, brown, lime, salmon, violet, sky blue, and turquoise.

Strange that they've decided not to include unpainted and tan sets, though.

When I looked at the websites it said they were selling unpainted?

Sorry, to clarify, when I said 19-piece meeple sets, I mean 8x regular followers, and 1x big follower, mayor, pig, barn, wagon, messenger, thief, abbott, builder, shepherd and ringmaster (or whatever the new one's called). They are selling sets of tan and unpainted regular meeples, but no sets that include all of the expansions, according to their latest email.
