Official Rules / Re: Magic Portal to an unoccupied Monastery..?
« on: April 01, 2018, 09:50:37 AM »
Yes, the only criteria for the magic portal are that the feature is both unoccupied and incomplete when placing the tile. Whether it has been scored or not or otherwise previously occupied is irrelevant.

Just to clarify: when a city with goods is completed, points for the city are scored as normal (to the person(s) with meeple plurality) and goods tokens are distributed to the person who just played that last tile. There are no points awarded for the tokens at this time. Points for goods tokens are part of the end-game scoring.

Ordered mine last night and it's shipping out today.   :D

Are quinces popular in Europe, because I don't think I've ever eaten one. They definitely aren't very popular in the US. I might have to see if I can get one in the produce department of my local supermarket, just to say I've eaten all of the fruit from the Öbstbaume expansion.  :P

HiG will probably just leave a gap. They continue to list the Catapult as expansion 7 on their website, but it says it's "no longer available" and they will not be releasing it in the new art. I personally think they should replace it or rework it. #abandonednotabandoned

As for new stuff coming this year: Z-Man is releasing #4 The Tower and #6 Count, King, and Robber in English in the new art this year. HiG is releasing #9 Hills and Sheep in German in the new art this year. Cundco.de has a new mini expansion The Fruit-bearing Trees which will be available to order soon.

Sort of sounds like an expansion for Over Hill and Dale, but if it is for regular Carcassonne, it sounds cool.

My first impression was that they are going to re-release school and festival, but this just information about restocking.
This looks like they just found a hidden stash of the School and Festival in the old art, and are deciding to clear them out. I never thought we'd see any 1.0 stuff on the new Z-Man website, but I guess I was wrong.

I would say that this is definitely Carc 1.0 stuff. They probably found some stashed away in some closet and decided to sell them. Someone should send them a quick e-mail to find out for sure, though.

I think HiG said that the Catapult will never see a 2.0 version, but it seems they've been very quiet on all of the small expansions. Many it seems are limited/promotional, so I don't think they will get the 2.0 treatment. But here are my top expansions that will probably never get a re-release. Go ahead and list your favorite expansions that will forever be relegated to Carcassonne history.

1. The Cathars/Siege - Though I think these tiles have a cool mechanism and I have played them on an electronic version of Carcassonne, I think this expansion has gone the way of the dodo.   :(

2. The Tunnel, The Plague, Half & Half, and Little Buildings - These seem to have too much going on to me, but I've never played them, so maybe I'm wrong. However, I don't see them coming to 2.0, and I don't really care one way or the other.

3. The Compass Rose/Windrosen - I like playing with these tiles on the electronic version as well. Too bad they will probably never get an update.

4. Wheel of Fortune - I'm probably the saddest about this one potentially never getting a 2.0 upgrade. The wheel is awesome. Hopefully HiG will see the wisdom of re-releasing this one. I'd be all over it.

5. Castles of Germany - These double-sized tiles look really cool. Never played with these either. I hope they get re-released, but I ain't holding my breath.

I vote for the "super score track".  The current score track is...less than functional.  :P

The Tower has been "on the boat" for 8 weeks now. Now Traders and Builders is "on the boat." Let's see which boat is faster! Place your bets now!  :D
