Woohoo!

Congrats Corinthiens13! Really impressive score, yet again!
As I thought, I wasn't able to make it to the podium, but looks like I did finally get better at answering the questions later on hahaha

Thanks Meepledrone for organising, and happy 2022 to all!

After a poor start, seems that the later questions have been better for me.
Although I don't think I'll be able to manage to get to the podium this year

I guess you could also argue Darmstadt doesn't have a watermark

Exactly! I am still looking for a Exp. 2 Traders and Builders without watermark.
Help remind me in after Jan 10th to check; I might have this one for you. I know I've got multiples of some expansions without watermarks, just don't know off by head which ones. (And help remind me to put my inventory file on Google drive so I can access it remotely  ;D )

Glad to help
And a bit funny how you can't be bothered to try and get expansions with watermarks, where some people will try to actively look for those without. A few years back I spent some time getting all the expansions without watermarks as well.

And no worries, sometimes they hide things from us! Hahaha

Hi!

Let's see if I can help;
1.
The expansions started to get symbols on them from the release of BB1. This was in 2006, a while after The Tower came out on its own. After the release of BB1, reprints of the first 4 expansions started to have symbols on them as well

2.
Yes and no. You can find English releases of the first 4 expansions with and without watermarks. As mentioned, before BB1 came out, expansions were printed without watermarks, after BB1 came out, reprints added watermarks

3.
HiG is the (German) original publisher of the game. They had licensed the publishing and distribution to other publishers for other countries, but almost always you will find their logo on the boxes. Rio Grande Games had the license for Carcassonne for many years, before it switched to ZMG. It is a bit of a mixed bag in terms of which publisher produced which expansion, which some done by both (the more popular first expansions for example).
As far as I know, Catapult and B,C&B have only been released in English by RGG. Could you check on your boxes if the RGG logo might be on the front, and HiG on the back? Often the HiG logo is printed on the back. Maybe you can post some pictures here?

The Marketplace / Re: The status of Z-Man Games

ZMG are the publishers for US, UK and a bunch of other markets. In both US and UK the actual distribution is done through/by Asmodee (and if I remember correctly that is owned by ZMG).
They have been pretty slow with releases throughout the years though, and expansions are always slow to come out.
We felt lucky to see Carc20 only 3 months after the initial release date.

It can be good to try and find shops with some stock, or otherwise try and look international, although I can imagine shipping adds quite a bit

I was supposed to be being good and saving money this week and have now gone and spend over $200 on Carcassonne!  :-[

Don't worry, that happens to the best of us  ;) more often than I would like to admit

Great list of new expansions you got! I can only echo what others have said in terms of which are nice to play. Exp 10 was the first thing I got in C2 (or was it watchtowers?), and all the mini's see regular play here

Official Rules / Re: Another Bridge Question
« on: December 26, 2021, 06:40:11 AM »
So in short; yes, yellow can place that bridge in that example.
It can be placed not connecting to any other roads, but will need to be treated as a road in subsequent turns.

It can be a great way to try and block people, but equally they might be able to use a bridge to fill a gap

Anything Else / Re: Be careful what you wish for...

Granted, but it looks like this:

And has become rare although nobody actually wants it.

I wish for a tour through Cundco's warehouse and their basement

Granted, but due to their popularity, stocks ran out faster than the Spiel 21 tile and now they are SUPA MEGA RAR

I wish the Carcassonne Central Forum would get the option to pre-order any new releases in the world of Carcassonne

The only difference I'm aware of is that the river start and end tiles are slightly different now, with a road and monastery respectively

News and Events / Re: Carcassonne Big Box with new tile format?
« on: December 21, 2021, 04:10:38 AM »
So the first German prints have the errors. I guess reprints will have the updates, so need to keep an eye out for them.

999 games have launched the box now as well, but very quietly and they have it listed as the same as the previous big box. Not even a separate article number or separate listing; it's the same for them
