Ark of the Covenant availability

[Paul]

Put me on the list for The New World, in case you manage to get hold of it.

Alright. I'll see what I can do. 

To be honest, hunting these for you guys is more fun than buying them to keep for oneself. I just gotta remember to take it slow so I don't get overwhelmed with work as I am dying to get back to programming some day soon!

 

PS: Congratulations for your Ark of the Covenant! Glad I could help.

Updates!

I can't confirm this yet, posting here still for teasers. Waiting for reply for these items:

Carcassonne - The City, roughly 45 Euro without shipping

Carcassonne - New World, roughtly 25 Euro without shipping

Carcassonne - The Discovery, roughtly 23 Euro without shipping.

Carcassonne - The Castle, roughtly 23 Euro without shipping.

What really peeked my interest is that they list these as English versions, waiting for confirmations.

The Ark of the Covenant looks really nice.  I particularly loved that “The player who last read a portion of the Bible will be the starting player.” This can take some time to figure out for us. 

I am looking forward to play it with my girlfriend this evening. I dedicate my first game to you Yellow, and hope that I will accomplish a little better than I have done with the Hunters & Gaterers recently.

You are my hero.

I'm glad I could make someone happy. Early holiday spirits.  Not exactly Bible material but what the heck. 

Remember to take a photo of endgame and post it here!

Damn the internet. It was to easy to click buy on the pages where I found these two games. I feel stupid now for taking away your joy of helping. If you already bought them since you have my name on the list, and you can't get rid of them. I'll still buy them from you, just let me know.

I found New world at Spillskrinet.no for 249NOK, and they have 3 left at the time I bought it.
I found Discovery at Amazon.com for 20$, and they have 1 left. Bought it since I already is buying something else there.

Thanks for your help and efforts. It's really appreciated.

No trouble at all. Nothing is binding here so I removed you from the list. Worst case I keep it for myself unopened until a request pops up, or I get on the eBay bandwagon.  I still haven't bought them yet.

Got confirmation for these few mins ago:

1x Carcassonne - The City
6x Carcassonne - The Castle
0x Carcassonne - New World
0x Carcassonne - The Discovery

Both The City and The Castle are in English and shipping is 5 Euro no matter how much I order from them if shipped to me.

I now just need the weight for these items and I can give a definitive answer total cost. The Castle The City I understand is a bit heavy containing many wooden parts.

Yellow, what about original topic name? Can I count I will receive it till Christmas?

I belive so!

Tomorrow I am heading out to buy them. Soon as I have them in my hands I can send you the PayPal info as a private message. Shipping it during the weekend should have it land within a week (or two during this holiday season). Of course, it goes a lot faster if it's within Europe.

Just one little Baltic Sea between us! I live in Latvia

Awesome. Within European Union the shipping cost should be adequate. Cheaper than sending to Norway.

OK, I'm in for Carcassonne: the Castle! I can give you an address in France so the shipping+customs will be cheaper. Thanks for doing this for the community!

As requested by Yellow, her are a short game report for our first two games with The Ark of the Covenant.

The “game mechanics” is a blend between original Carcassonne and Hunters & Gatherers with the addition of something different. Especially the scoring when moving the Ark give you a new interesting strategically option. The Prophet also makes you think different when you build cities, as he can only be used once and score double for the city.

We really enjoyed both the “game mechanics” and the artwork. I think The Ark of the Covenant and Hunters & Gatherers will be our preferred games when we want to play a quick game.

The first game I won with 29 points
I finished the big city with my Prophet

The second game my girlfriend won with 22 points 
Of the big cities I managed only to finish the one to the right at the bottom. She finished all the other big ones and most of the smaller, as I mainly drew tiles with roads.
