Here you are a topic covering sleeving techniques for non-square tiles, just in case you are interested...

http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=4941.0

As you can see, you can find some hard-core sleevers around.  ;D

Sometimes they also provide some clues... like for example when combining the Gingerbread Man with Expansions 1, 2 and 3...  ;)

The original Porxada tiles seem to be not so "polished". Check these pictures from BGG where you can see the tile under the sticker. I don't know either if all the original tiles were signed by KJW. (Maybe someone who attended Jugar x Jugar in 2010 may confirm this.)

As an additional note, in order to keep track of the players who had a meeple in the city with La Porxada when completed, during the event players were given a laminated token consisting in a xeroxed copy of the La Porxada tile.

This is an additional limitation by Asmodee in order to avoid any possible problems that may lead to an incomplete river.

If you check the following image from WICA, example A is taken from the rules by HiG. So HiG allows non-immediate U-turns although the Asmodee App excluded this possibility.

Official Rules / Re: Question about City gates and builder
« on: May 25, 2021, 11:34:46 PM »
The three initial official PnP expansion based on fan expansiones are:

* Easter in Carcassonne (for C1)
   https://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/Easter_in_Carcassonne_(1st_edition)
* The City Gates (for C1)
   https://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/The_City_Gates_(1st_edition)
* The Fortune Teller (for C1 and C2)
   https://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/The_Fortune_Teller

The WICA pages includes links to the HiG version of the expansions as well as the original fan expansions just in case you are interested. These expansions were selected by HiG from a candidate list from CarcF and CarcC as part of a collaboration that took several years (from 2013 to 2016).

Additionally, last year HiG released another PnP expansion for C2 but this is their own creation: The Land Surveyors.

As a side note, HiG included some 10 Cut & Play tiles for C2 (actually C2.0) known as CutCassonne, hidden on the bottom of a promotional box.

So, as you can see, there is plenty of additional stuff beyond the core official expansions.

A video review of the 20th Anniversary Edition in German, including some comments on the rules for the base game and the mini expansions included.

You wull fully enjoy it if you understand German. In my case I just tried to pick some German words here and there and enjoy some pictures of the actual box and the game included in the video...



Have fun!

Don't know why I felt you were going to make a remark on that...  ;)

Yep. The clarifications about the phantom being placed as a second figure come from old. Here you can see the footnotes included in the CAR v7.4 (from 2015) and used as source material for WICA too.

Quote
443 Question: Does the phantom have to be second to a true follower, or can it be placed in addition to a non-follower piece? Answer: The phantom may also be placed as a second piece in addition to the builder, pig, or any other “move the wood” piece such as movement of the fairy or placement of a tower piece.

444 The phantom cannot be placed, then followed by a builder or pig on the same feature on the same turn. The builder [or pig] must be placed as the second figure in a feature [i.e. placed after a follower], but the phantom is always the last piece placed on a turn. If the phantom is the first piece placed on a turn, another figure cannot then be placed. Thus, if a phantom is placed [as the primary follower] on a feature, the builder could at the earliest be placed on the next turn.

I find very interesting what you mention about the rules implemented on the iOS App though.

The phantom is powerful but within some limits too. As it is placed last you cannot used to place a builder or a pig on an empty feature, or you cannot use it to occupy a city vacated by a princess tile. However, you can used it to take control of a feature vacated by a tower....

Vital Pluymers is right!

In general terms the meeple next to the fairy on a feature being scored gets the 3 points no matter if it is during the game or after the game. So it could be a farmer in a field scored due to the barn during the game or a farmer in a regular scoring of a field at the end of the game.

The requirement: the meeple next to the fairy is on a feature being scored during the game or after the game. Majority is irrelevant.

PS: corinthiens13 was faster than me...
