tile thickness
« on: March 02, 2020, 03:21:28 AM »
I'm sure this will have been discussed, probably way more thoroughly, elsewhere in the forum. But I'm curious, so excuse my little question ...

I've been stacking up my tiles as I begin to plan a foamcore insert for the original Carcassonne box. While doing so I noticed that some tiles seemed to be thicker than others. This lead me to do a quick survey of all my content as shown below. Is there any predictability to the thickness of tiles?

I don't have personally C2 stuff but I played several times with C2 and I saw that there are less thickess than C1. In C1 I think that the thickness is equal... I didn't know it about C2... Sorry about It appreciate collector...

I noticed one thing on CII: I have big box in german, several big expansions, all the minis, all from german publisher

The tiles from princess dragon are significantly smaller than all the other ones

I guess that this is not C2 specific. That depends on the print year. So you can see also differences in tile colouring. I guess I have read something about it on CarcF, but I found not directly the post. I will try again later.

Yes, I've noticed that there are a few expansions that are thicker than the others in CII. I think for me Japanese Temples and 1 or 2 of the others. I have most of the CII stuff, but without having it in front of me, I can't remember which ones are thicker. When I get home I'll confirm. It bugged me for a while, but I don't really pay attention to it. For me, it's only noticeable when I have a full stack of the thicker tiles right next to the regular ones. When they're all mixed up, or in the bag, I can't tell.

It didn't/doesn't bug me. Like you, it was only because I had (sorted) stacks in front of me that I noticed. And yes, I've certainly not been aware in the bag or flat on the table.

I noticed becaused I made all the tuckbox with perfect fit.

And guess which expansion had more sport for 2 / 3 tiles ? P&D :)

Variance is likely due to which manufacturer is making the tiles and possibly minor changes between production runs.

You're going to need a bigger spreadsheet!
