Post by: LaPorxada (aka BigBoss) on December 30, 2019, 05:37:49 AM
Dear community,
let's get some ideas or suggestions for the publisher HiG concerning the future of one of our favourite games - THANK YOU.

I'll start with my personal wishes (no particular ranking).

Carcassonne wish list:
- The Foldable Counting Board
- A "complete" travel edition for CCII
- Other country monasteries
- An official Carcassonne set of rules
- A tile dispenser tower for the travel edition
- The castle with falcons expansion
- A reprint of the 4 russian promo tiles
- The wheel of fortune expansion for CCII
- The catapult for CCII  >:D
- Complete set of the Meeple in light green
- Meeple bags in all colours
- Minis 1-7 single for CCII

- Tunnel Mini Exp. for CCII (@Chmura)
- Pest Mini Exp. for CCII (@Chmura)
- Acrylic tile tower dispenser(@izscream)
- Blank tiles (blancos) for the travel edition (@murphy013)
- Double-sized Blancos & perhaps also triangular-blancos (@murphy013)
- The resurrection of the 1st edition (@Strix and probably @Fan "hihi")
- The offer of printing fan expansions by HiG  (@seli)
- Carcassonne Maps foldable, e.g. like a normal game table HiG (@seli)
- New Mini expansion in both Classical and New Carcassonne style (@MeepleFan)
- Reprint of all missing expansions from old edition aka CC1 to the new edition aka CCII (@Eldenroot)
- A1 folder, in Carcassonne style, for the storage of all country maps (@Tom)
- Nice wooden box to store everything (@Christianmocking)
- Expansion No.11(@Halfling)
- Halflings Mini Expansion for C2 (@Meepledrone)
- Expansion connecting Carcassonne and the Crusades beyond the one against the Cathars -
It could involve a Map of the Mediterranean Sea and all (@Meepledrone)
-  Expansion that includes the 100 years war with the English - for example, again with a map of the Mediterranean Sea. (@Oldbonz)
-

In e.g. 14 days we could create a survey from the collected ideas, I would then send the survey results to HiG Verlag.

A reprint of the Russian Promo tiles in European version and a new Mini expansion in both Classical and New Carcassonne style would be fine.

I hope so... Don't want to be waiting for 10 years until something of all this becomes a reality. Something for 2020 would sound nicer to everyone, right? ;)

Then why do I have a first edition from 1990?  >:D ;)
ok, I just looked at it - it is from the year 2000  :-[ :'(

darn it, that's how it is  :D

:)) yeah, that sounds definitively better  :(y)

Update:
Ratz65 has posted on german forum new informations about the anniversary - here the translation:

Quote from: Ratz65
I've already spoken to Moritz about it. The anniversary is not celebrated until 2021.
2001 was Carcassonne Game of the Year.
Besides, I am already in contact with Moritz about what could happen for the anniversary :D

So we still have a year to think about ideas for carcassonne.
I am looking forward to the anniversary year 2021!

10th anniversary edition was released on 2011... Hope this anniversary HiG makes a really different edition... And not the same C1 or C2 tiles with different box...
I would like the new C2 expansions in a C1 edition and viceverse. Thats all that I want...

Carcassonne needs a break.

The German Castle tiles are probably easiest to break. If you did it perfectly you could end up with two "half tiles" that are exactly the same size and shape as other full tiles. Nobody would find that confusing. >:D

You think? People are still discovering Carcassonne for the first time even now. And enjoying it too! If something still has life left in it then there is no reason to give it an early bedtime!

We need badly an expansion connecting Carcassonne and the Crusades beyond the one against the Cathars. It could involve a Map of the Mediterranean Sea and all.

I followed the thread of your discussion and the idea of a map of the Mediterranean can be an excellent idea, especially since Wolnic has created an impressive set of sea tiles.
Otherwise the great historical facts of the south of France and mainly of the south west, apart from the crusades, is the 100 years war with the English, but I don't want to upset anyone.

the crusades is 1096/1246.
the Hundred Years' War is 1337/1453...
if not the history of the Normans (Viking ancestors) who became kings of Sicily from 1030 to 1194 is also an interesting subject.

I'm intrigued if HiG would work in something elaborate for a change... They would prefer to keep it small and simple not to scare anyone away...
Title: Re: [30 - uups ;-)] 20 years Carcassonne / Wishes for the anniversary - a survey
Post by: oldbonz on January 03, 2020, 03:25:57 PM
Of course, I mentioned these historical events because you were talking about the crusades. And finding an idea for a game based on them is very complicated and especially with simple and playful mechanics.

 the game mechanics is road, city and fields with a river (it's a bit reductive but this principle works well)

We are getting closer and closer to the anniversary? Any more wishes?

Satisfied with the re-release of Carcassonne Junior and Hunters & Gatherers? Do you want more stuff? We should know more by the end of the month, right?  >:D

I would love to see a way where fan expansions can become an offcial expansion. A website where people can submit their expansions, then people vote on them, which ever one gets the most votes at the end of the year becomes an official expansion. Of course with the creator credited.

Hmm a wishlist?

Howabout a CII reprint of the Catapult, this time called Ballista >:D
You have to shoot your own meeples as ammunition and wathever tile you hit gets removed from the play >:D >:D

- Official sleeves to protect the tiles that aren't so difficult to get.
- A 20 anniversary wooden Big Box large enough to store all of the expansions tiles.
- A new Expansion 7 for CCII to replace the Catapult.

Post by: Willem on October 03, 2020, 05:49:01 AM
Well, I hope it's not gonna be a re-reprint of The Festival, but then with a 20 on it hahaha

I wanna say something big, but at the same time, maybe a smaller special edition or expansion would be good as well. They've already done the very special limited edition, so maybe something small that a lot of people can get (with an order at cundco for example). Something that can be widely spread amongst all Carcassonne fans, without making it super limited.
We've seen limited editions of the Markets of Leipzig go for high prices, similarly every year with the Spiel Tiles. I'd imagine HiG doesn't want to encourage these high prices (they don't profit from it), so why not distribute something smaller for a low price?
And when I say that, I'm thinking I've basically been describing that it should just be the Spiel '20 tile, free with every order over €20   ::)

My jokes aside, Exp. 10 is already a replacement for Catapult. It is no coincidence that they have similar themes.

I mean something that uses the number 7 in the box. Right now they skipped it. Could be anything.

Who knows. Personally I don't think there will ever be 7. in CII.
(The number brings too much PTSD >:D)

Post by: Meepledrone on October 03, 2020, 11:01:45 AM
I think it is unlikely to happen (no C1 Exp. 7) but we have seen HiG are no prone to revisit it or redefine it...

For example, HiG didn't take the opportunity to use abbots on German monasteries to play as abbots (instead of meeples placed sideways). They just duplicated the C1 rules even if they may become a source of confusion...  :o

Do you think they'll relive it at any point?

You have the Limited Special Book Edition, The remains of The School and the C1 Labyrinth on Cundco.de... and that's all for the time being.
