Glad I added that at the bottom, in case people started copying it and posting it on their own social media platforms.  What on earth is reddit, looking at the comments they're a grumpy lot.

Still we know everything in this image, so didn't bother posting it here. Is on our twitter thing and maybe the facebooks

Should have said, was hoping to reach out to the typical Carcassonne fan. There were quite a few people who had asked about rules, hopefully this provides them some more information.

Great work Decar. This is excellent.

You're not wrong!

I don't know everything. Perhaps it's buried in this thread somewhere? This image seems to concisely sum up all that is currently known.

For interest, what is the source?

The Czech rules, that are posted somewhere up there ^

They decided to release their rules about 3 weeks ago. No sign from anywhere else yet.

It's only a brief summary, but would be funny if these aren't the rules at all.

So, to clarify, this is your translation of the Czech rules and you posted this image just to Facebook and Twitter?

The summary matches the available rules. It omits the edge cases...  ;)

It's just a summary of a translation of the Czech rules. The actually rules span about 7 pages and cover some of the edge cases (Meepledrone has others).  For a layperson it should provide enough details to know if they'd be interested.

Still some unknowns though, like how much extra detail do the new tiles provide compared to originals.

PS: Thanks for checking meepledrone  :(y)

These rules are published direct on mindok (publisher) web page. So I guess it's in print and will not changed. But as some "old C1 stuff" still in rules, their translator uses previous transations and not check rules ganes by HiG :( So there is issue, that player has to show tile to other players when he take if from stack. In C2 rules is not required (read: it is not written anywhere that player has to show).

Like I said, it's a summary that doesn't go into the level of detail that affects no one,  that would require several hundred images and provide no concrete answers.  People want to know what's in the box, and what the expansions are about.

For good reason I imagine. As an introduction to this new edition of the game for beginners/ newer players it's better if they can get a likely idea of how the expansions can be played without having to spend 6 days reading every conceivable interaction with expansions they probably don't own or care about.

In C2 rules is not required (read: it is not written anywhere that player has to show).

I think this "issue" is going to be of little concern to casual Carcassonne players. It's hard to imagine anyone losing any sleep or having a game ruined over whether they should or shouldn't show their tile to their opponents before placing it. It's not like they're not going to see it anyway.

Great couple of points, danisthirty. At the end of the day, I see this new summary as ensuring new players + casual players just being able to play the game in the way new players/ casual players play games (not like us OCD, completionist, thorough-treatment-of-every-conceivable-interaction folks! I’m on board with your description of the intent of the new summary, and what it will mean in practical terms for its intended audience.

That being said, I love the shout out to Carcassonne Central! It’ll be a great segue for the players that are interested in more—that was me at one point!

I browsed the forums some, but I apologize if this is cleared up somewhere else.  The anniversary tiles appear to have new artwork, but still be in the C2 style - is that correct?  As background, I don't currently own Carcassonne, and I am debating if the better move would be to pick up the Big Box with Minis and Exp 1/2 for basically the same cost as this will retail.
