I might just buy it in Essen assuming it will be there.

Hi there,

I'm new to Carcassonne - and to this forum - but I'm a fan. (Also might be a dangerous opinion but I'm also a fan of the new artwork: easy to say for someone who had never bought any of the old version.) So I was interested in this thread and sent Z-Man another email. The response from Simon Lafrance was:

The release is planned for late 2016 or early 2017, depending on shipping.

Good news!

Thanks for letting us know - it's taken Z-man long enough!

Also: watch out for The Doctor, he's around here somewhere  ::)

Welcome to the forums reddalek :) :(y)

Thanks for the update.

It's fine with me if you favor the new artwork over the old! I'll be fine with it for as long as the Abbots are treated as an expansion and don't ever become considered part of the core game.

Thank you both!

Don't get me wrong: if I had already collected the older version, I'd be upset. Even if you think the new version is 'nicer', it wouldn't be worth the pain of having split Carcassonne worlds with potential exclusives in both sets. I'm just lucky in that I can start afresh.

I decided to push my luck and ask Z-Man if any other expansions were being re-released at the same time. Will let you know if they respond!

For those in the US, you can order the German new version of Princess and Dragon from a UK Seller on ebay for less than 18 USD!!!   FREE SHIPPING TOO!!   Much better than waiting for ZMAN and probably around the same price or even cheaper.   I am not affiliated in any way with the seller;  I am just spreading the word.  I ordered a copy for myself.  I hope this helps some meeple.  :yellow-meeple: :neutral-meeple: :white-meeple: :brown-meeple: :gray-meeple: :violet-meeple: :pink-meeple: :orange-meeple: :black1-meeple: :blue-meeple: :red-meeple: :green-meeple:

Sounds like a good price. I'd be happy grab anything from Essen and to stick it in box and ship it to USA for you.

It's tempting, but the completionist streak in me wants everything in the same language. Maybe I should have just started with the German base game ;)

Expansion 4 should be releasing at the same time.
