Rule book - 1st expansion - Inns&Cathedrals - page 2 - rule tile with crossing and inn

I did some correction reading for the German rules - short time before printing. I told HiG that is part of the rule was not clear enough. HiG has a different rule than zman games now.

Instead of the rule from zman games:
"The inn counts for the road heading left and the one heading right, but not the one heading down."

Here is the translation of the rule from HiG:

"A crossing without a small village in the middle divides roads. That means there are 3 roads on this tile. The inn belongs to the roads which goes to the right and to the left but not for the road which goes down."

Carcassonne-on-Tour will go on tour again in 2016.
As the years before, Carcassonne-on-Tour needs a new mini-expansion.

This year is the theme: "Kathedralen und Dome in Deutschland" / "Kathedrals and Domes in Germany".
The plan is one  mini-expansion with 6 new normal landscape tiles with kathedral /dome graphics, simular to the mini "Monasteries in Germany" from 2014.

Udo Schmitz (Carcassonne-on-Tour) has asked the members at the Carcassonne-Forum (CarcF) if we can search for nice kathedrals and domes in Germany and create an opinion poll.

At the CarcF forum we decided to look for around for kathedrals and domes  for each region of Germany (North, South, West, East and Middle).

And again there are two kathedrals and domes directly from HiG and Klaus-Jürgen Wrede:
-"Frauenkirche" in Munich
- "Kölner Dom" in Cologne

Here is the link to the topic at CarcF:
Suche nach Mini für Carcassonne-on-Tour 2016

Today - we have just started this project at CarcF.

The searching for possible kathedrals and doms runs till 15.12.2015
And the opinion poll will run till 30.12.2015

Official Rules / Sheep and Shepherd - "closed" farm
« on: December 07, 2015, 04:47:48 AM »
The German rules in the BigBox5 from 2014 have this special case included:

Quote
Sonderfall: Grenzt ein Spieler eine Wiese komplett durch Straßen oder Stadmauern ein, wird für diese Wiese sofort die Aktion "Herde in den Stall treiben" ausgelöst.

rough translation:
Special case: If a player surrounded a farm completely with roads or city walls, then the action "Herd the flock into the stable" triggers immediately for the shepherds farm.

------------------
That means when a farm is surrounded and "closed" with roads and cities - and it can't expand anymore. Then the score for the shepherd takes place.
The player earns points for the sheep, the sheeps go to the bag and the shepherd goes to the players supply.
-------------------
The English BigBox rule is different than the German rule, because this special case was put in the German rule from the wishes of the correction readers for the German rule - short time before printing.

Topic at BGG:
Problem: closed field by an opponent

News and Events / 4.Fan-Meeting at Burg Konradsheim - Erftstadt, Germany
« on: November 25, 2015, 12:08:33 PM »
The 4th fan-meeting at Burg Konradsheim - Sunday 22 October 2015

I traveled through Germany on Saturday. I visited Ratz65 and on Sunday we went to the fan-meeting.

The fan-meeting was again a great day.

Sebastian Trunz was playing two rounds of simultaneous tounament against many other fans (one round against 6 players and the other round against 8 players). He has won 13 of the 14 games. Only one opponent player has won against Sebastian Trunz. Sebastian was a CC-World Champion and he is the CC-German Champion.

There was also a CC-Über Stock und Stein tournament.

Our CarcF group was playing a game CC-Über Stock und Stein and later we played a prototype of the next spin-off game.

Here are some photos at CarcF:

Here comes a small picture.
The players forgot to score finished features during the game and all meeple are still on these features. How many points do they get? And how many points do they get at the final score?
