Thank you for this awesome work. I like to play with a lot of expansions, and an updated CAR is an invaluable tool when doing so. I have one small comment, however. On page 123 it says that the Carcassonne Winter Edition is distributed only as a digital download. This is not 100% correct anymore. Both German and Scandinavian language editions (at least) was published as physical games in 2012. I don't know about the German version, but the Scandinavian version also includes the Gingerbread Man expansion (with the originally intended 6 tiles). Since there is a separate CAR for the Winter Edition, maybe this can be omitted from the normal CAR.
QuoteIn my mind, the wagon should not be able to travel between the two cities. Wagons can really only travel on or to claimable features. Because the two little driveways (I'm sticking with that term) cannot be claimed by a follower, I don't feel that the wagon can use them for travelling. The little driveways are complicated: A wagon that can not drive a driveway would be strange. If the driveways are part of the city, the wagon should be allowed to drive (drive!way) to both roads of the crossing, but not to the other city. The wagon also should be allowed to drive from both roads to both cities (and from road to road).

Each feature scores separately. GREEN and RED can choose which of their scoring figureswill score the points. The Robber can only receive points from a scoring figure that standson the same space as the Robber. In this case, the Robber can definitely receive pointsfrom GREEN, because both scoring figures from GREEN are on the same space. TheRobber’s ability to rob points from RED will depend on which figure(s) RED chooses tomove. Since the Robber is on a space occupied by more than one scoring figure, and morethan one figure is scoring points, the Robber chooses which player he is “robbing” half thepoints from.

Okay, all of the changes up to this point have been added to the upcoming version of the CAR. (This is more a note to myself, so I don't have to backtrack later, so don't get too excited about the upcoming version yet.)
Amazing, thank you very much for your dedication!!! IQuote from: obervet03 on May 15, 2013, 06:25:05 AMOkay, all of the changes up to this point have been added to the upcoming version of the CAR.

Wow I've been stuck on the old forums and just checked these new ones out. What great progress guys!
