Complete Annotated Rules v. 6.3 and 1.1

[Andrew the Ambo]

I have just finished reading this novel. The amount of work that the authors have put in over the years is astounding.
Thanks guys.

Just took a look at (and downloaded) the new CAR for the first time.  It's fantastic!  All those who worked on it are to be commended. 

[CKorfmann]

I found an update that needs to be entered into the CAR.  Basically it is in regard to the Windrose as a one of the starting tiles and also how to use it in MegaCarc.

S-CAR v6.3 - page 172-173:
Mega-Carcassonne

The general order in which starting expansions should be placed would seem to be:
- The Wheel of Fate
- The Count of Carcassonne
- any River expansions
- The School

Obervet,
the Windrose (the orange one) is missing.

S-CAR v6.3 - page 241:
starting tile
Some words are missing about the change of the starting tile when playing with Wind Roses.

S-CAR v6.3 - page 243:
wind rose
Some words are missing that the Wind Roses has also a starting tile.

Hi CKorfmann,
did you find more things in the CAR what you are missing?

[CKorfmann]

No, but I only read over the new stuff.  I might be able to proof it some more over the weekend.

[kettlefish]

The next version for the CAR is coming out at the end of October after my meeting with HiG - Georg Wild.
I will go to Spiel 2013 at Essen and there I will get all the clarifications for the rules...

Good catches. Pages 173, 241, and 243 in the CAR have been updated.

The special tile:
A crossing is a part from a road. The road ends in a crossing.
But there is only a crossing. And you can't score a road with no road-segments.

The crossing doesn't belongs to a city and also it doesn't belongs to a farm.

So according to this, the small road segments aren't considered a road, and it's just intended to seperate farms, am I correct? Well, if so I think a different design (like a wodden fence passing between the farms) would have been much clearer.

I don't think a fence would have made sense visually like a little piece of road does.  A little snip of a road to make the tile aesthetically pleasing makes sense to me.  It's about the same thing as the drawings of little barns and animals on the field segments.  People have come up with fan rules for them, just not the little road snippets, at least that I'm aware of.

Yeah I think you're right. I guess I said that without much thinking

[kettlefish]

The crossing belongs to the road. A crossing ends a road or splitt roads in two different road segments.


Rule BigBox 1-3:
- a player may not place followers on these 2 segments
- this crossing separates the road into 2 segments

(a wagon is still a follower)

more about the wagon - please look here:

Thanks kettlefish! I was confused on this one.

[spooky143]

thanks for the great work you are doing!

by the way, where is the differences between 6.2 and 6.3?
