Moritz Brunnhofer from HiG will answer himself here at CarcC.

But he need some time to translate it in the correct form.

Please wait.
Has there been enough time to "translate it in the correct form" yet? Or are they just ignoring us as usual?

Almost three weeks later ...

Trappist Abbey of Westmalle (Westmalle, Belgium)
Leftup

This abbey belongs to the order of Cisterciënzers, which was founded in the 11th century.
This order simply and conveniently called 'Trappist', after the Normandian abbey  La trappe.
They still are very know because of their beer.
Mmmm, Westmalle!

Trappist beer is the best there is! Of course, my favourite being Westvleteren, but Westmalle is probably third or fourth on the list, depending on the mood of the day.

Thanks a bunch for this!

It just hit me that some of these monastaries might be trappists. Is that so? If so then I need to get hold of these as well. Now, I think poor SRBO has enough to deal with, so I hope that these will be made available internationally. Who is the publisher?

The store which sells these will not ship abroad, was that correct?

Beer and boardgames. Yes, that is how you should roll!  >:D

Edit: Good luck with the event as well! Judging from the photos it is going to be good!

I think it's just ridiculous to call them a corporation.

That's my only (main) point.
Even so, one can still be tired of their bullshit.

We usually take half the tiles and mix in the fork, and in the other half we put the city lake. That way the fork is not likely to be next to the fountainhead, but it will always be before the first lake.

yes, but it is only the last one on the camel's back that HiG has to worry about   :)
The last one is one too late.

If anything, the 'River III' exclusive in Big Box 5 is far more concerning if it's meant to be only in this box alone.
Yes, that is another straw on the camel's back. How many does it carry around now?

When I use The River I always use the tile from GQ11 as fountainhead and I always use the lake from River 2 if we are going to use the dragon (which is not very often). However, with all the various starting tiles one can choose from today (School, Rose etc), it seems that we have more or less abandoned these small expansions.

I'm sorry to hear that. There's a lot of negativity in the forum about this new edition. It's like the end of the world or something. I feel like many members are just set to neglect any changes at all, instead of embracing a new world.
The negativity is party from the new look. Personally I do not really care - I would not mix different sets of Carcassonne anyway. The other part is the exclusive expansion that they - again - only make available to those who - yet again - buy what they already own.

We were told that Die Belagerer would not be ready to buy in "at least a year". It has been over a year. Is it available?

General / Re: Carcassonne – what is stopping you playing?
« on: September 20, 2014, 07:57:04 AM »
I do not get to play it because most my friends do not like it now a days. They think it has grown too big.

We still play some of the spin-offs on occasion, but mostly we stick to other games.

Yellow: Diplomacy session planned for November. In my group we hate each other anyway!  ^-^

News and Events / Re: New Spielbox Expansion - "half and half"
« on: September 19, 2014, 05:52:46 AM »
My understanding is that you wouldn't have to get both sets unless the completionist in you means you're determined to own absolutely everything. I think it would still be perfectly playable just by getting one or the other.

A half and half is a mix of beers. If you do not mix, then there is only "half".

In one way I am glad that they are doing this. Now I can finally see the end of the road for my collection of Carcassonne.

Will I buy the new edition? Hell no!

With HiG mixing general release mini-expansions, limited release stuff , new river mini-expansions bundled with the base game and out of print larger expansions bundled with the big box , add in two new colours of meeples and now adding a new abbot meeple if you buy new copies of the game, well it all just seems a little bit too much merchandise for too little product.
Yes. They keep spitting their old fans in the face with crap like this.

The Abbot is a completely new not yet published mini. This mini has nothing to do with the German Monasteries.
Of course not. All according to their policy towards their old fans.

I never trust that terminology until I see it. It could just mean completely new to the public, which The Monasteries would be, brief preview release not withstanding.
Again - I hope you are right and that I am wrong.
Bollocks.
