General / Re: Крепость - An unlicensed variant/spin-off

« on: June 27, 2022, 04:03:05 AM »

Dear people,
my previous message was really serious - as a pasioned collector I have been watching a certain scene (which exploits our collecting passion for profit) for years.
But since everything is published here anyway, maybe I should have started this thread here myself, well Carlium meant well and also mentioned me as a source - therefore thanks @carlium & sorry, I had overreacted due to bad experiences.
I appreciate your important contribution to the community!

The well-known Ukrainian board game publisher "Arial"
has a Carcassonne clone in its program since a few hares:
There are two editions, which differ only in the presentation of the covers
Both editions are in Russian (both editions EAN:4820059911227)

1st Edition: "Крепость"
https://gra.ua/product/nastolnaya-igra-krepost-analog-karkasson-carcassonne-ot-arial

The description translates as:
"Arial's Fortress board game, similar to Carcassonne"
And Arial is definitely not some unknown brand:

2nd Edition: "Крепость" (same content - but other box and maybe description - I have not translatzed the text yet)
https://www.yakaboo.ua/nastol-naja-igra-arial-krepost.html#media_popup_photos

Only the latest third edition has been localized into Ukrainian: For example the gametitle: "Крепость" is now "Фортеця"
This "carcassonne 2.0" is availlable fpr purchase directly from the publisher.

About the exciting Carcassonne edition of the also well-known board game publisher "DankoToys", Carlium has already shared our results and his additional great research with the community in the entrance post.

If anyone would like scanned material from the first edition of Arial, I'd be happy to send them a link (I suspect it wouldn't be legal to post this here).

With best regards

@carlium
Thanks for your post.
However, I would find it better if such posts were only visible to logged in members (that's why I told you about it in private chat, with my newer username LaPorxada).
I'll try to explain the reason:
In the last few years I noticed that whenever we fans were excited about, for example, the Russian promos and where you could get them, or even the Iranian first edition.....there was some crazy expensive offer on BGG (russ promos), Ebay (Iranian first edition) or even right here (Russian promos again) pretty quickly after that.
So we could keep our interest in rare, or freaky Carcassonian games that interest us a little bit to ourselves and help each other, but just maybe a little bit more private - but is just my opinion and I salute your post about this interesting edition of course anyway.

If you are interested in other Ukrainian editions from another manufacturer, feel free to write me or I can post the other editions here as well, if the post is only for registered users.

General / Re: Is C2 or C3?

« on: June 02, 2022, 12:36:50 PM »

Our previous assumptions regarding C3/C2 are more or less in line with the classification by HiG/CundCo.
The current tile list in the store was coordinated by Maik from the German forum with Andreas from HiG/CundCo.

From this follows:
C3:
Mini: The Peasant Revolts (2020)
Carcassonne Basic Game (2021)
Carcassonne BigBox (2021)
Mini: The Signposts (2021)
Mini: The Gifts (2021)
Mini: The Festival 3.0 (2022)
Mini: Castles in Germany 3.0 (2022)

C2:
Mini: Halflings (2020)
Mini: Cathedrals in Germany (2020)

By the way, the graphic artist of Cathedrals in Germany is Marcel Gröber (was confirmed to me via mail by Andreas from CundCo - interesting that this expansion is counted to C2 anyway)

The jubilee edition is counted separately or here is a translation of the mail answer I received from Andreas@CundCo:

"The jubilee edition is an intermediate extra thing.
2.1 and 3.0 (C2 and C3) always applies only to the standard versions"

It's great, since the C2 versions were never available as standalone sheets, only C1 were

The "Carcassonne - 50/100 scoring tiles" on cundco-shop are C2 Sheets - I have got this informationen from cundco via mail.

I think the shop photo was now already corrected.

Good find. Cheaper prices and shipping. However, I can't seem to find the base game of Zamek on their store. Do they not carry it? I need both—my copy of The Castle is in long-term storage and I prefer the new art anyway.

Did you ever find somewhere you were able to order these from? I'm kind of interested here in Australia, but so far had the same sort of luck as you. Wondering if you had any kind of success yet?
No, none at all. And I’d love to still get them.

Had you already tried it here:
https://ksiegarniainternetowa.co.uk/
Base game and expansion are available:

https://ksiegarniainternetowa.co.uk/en/gra_zamek_dodatek-5902719477942

Shipping to New Zealand I could choose:
Shipping: (Priority Registered Mail [PI] [- FW]) $13.52 (USD)

Payment options:
payment by Visa / Master Card / Google Pay / Apple Pay
Bank transfer
PayPal payment ( +$2.37 / USD )

Total cost (games + shipping) with all payment methods except paypal:
Total: $47.31 (US Dollars)

Maybe try here:

could at least select new Zealand in the shipping options.

Good luck!

I have no issue with the boxes being translated - I'll see if I can find the original office documents for you both.

Thank you very much!

Could you please also provide the tuckboxes for base game and major expansions or a complete package tuckboxes.

Quote from: Whaleyland on March 23, 2022, 05:53:33 PM

The Easter box is all ooh_jim's. I never made boxes for fan expansions. In any case, all my source files are on Apple Pages and I don't believe they open properly anymore, which is a personal annoyance. I am half tempted to remake all of these in Illustrator so they are of a higher, more consistent quality, but I simply don't have the time.

i.e. your original Tuckboxes collection is no longer available for download - or only the source files?

Anyway, thanks for your beautiful boxes.

@PapaGeek

wow - thank you very much!

super practical and beautiful solution - thanks for posting it here

Is there also a link to a c1 version?
We still prefer to play the classic graphic.

@ooh_jim
Thank you so much for your beautiful tuck boxes

If I understand correctly, these are based on a tuckbox collection from whaleyland?

Do you also provided here a download link of all tuckboxes from you (e.g. base game, big expansions....) - or am I missing something?

@Whaleyland
The original tuckboxes are from you, if I have understood everything correctly: very impressive Tuckboxes!

Is your original tuckbox collection available for download here?

@ooh_jim & @Whaleyland
If I leave the credits on the tuckboxes, would you allow me to translate the boxes into German, i.e. edit them?
I can edit that directly in the PDF, though if available the original files maybe that would be a bit easier.

Thanks a lot & Best greetings!
