General / Old Art Stick-ons for New Tiles

« on: January 29, 2017, 12:26:42 PM »

I was thinking since Expansion 10 is going to be new art only, what if the publishers created high-quality stickers of the old art that could be placed over the new art? They could sell the stickers through Cundco. I realize they would have the costs of printing and paying the old artwork artist, but could this still be viable for them to do money-wise? Do you think they would even consider this to appease loyal fans?

I am also interested in a La Porxada tile, but I understand if there is a limit, Decar.

General / Re: Should a Mega Game have barns?

« on: January 29, 2017, 12:57:06 AM »

Not sure this helps you at all, just some personal experience. In the end I think it depends how many people were playing with, I wouldn't play a mega game with more than two, (depending on the number of tiles. We usually play near the 200 range of tiles). I think the remarks about tying up workers is a key point to consider.

The mega game is still our favourite way to play and wouldn't likely play without Barns. This really runs up the scores. We usually end up with a mega 'farm' that is likely jointly scored. The nuance comes from farmers and pigs sneaking in during the game, again runniing up the score. The second photo is zoomed into a mini-meta battle to score with barns that are off the shot. This can push our games into kind of ridiculous scores, (1000 points isn't that uncommon). Regardless thats our game but might not work for all.

In the 1st photo we use pips to keep track of the cities to make it easier to score. We have never liked playing with the any of River additions. There is also some custom bits in our games 

The only little thing thats annoying for me is the theme. The crazy amount of points that can be scored don't seem to match the theme. I have been thinking about these as some sort of tax/fees that are collected for the base of your Fiefdom. Not the nicest theme but maybe not too far off base for certain points in history.

Again not sure this helps just sharing some experience. Enjoy your game and maybe let us know how it went!

  What is the ccff tile near the upper left side of the first photo? It's to the right of the princess tile and looks like there are several tents/encampments? (I'm not talking about the fairgrounds on a catapult piece). In the field section. I don't recognize the tile.

The Marketplace / Re: Where to find it...

There are currently 2 sets. One set is obtainable from the Russian publishers website. The second set was only given to players of the Russian Carcassone Championships, so currently not available to the rest of the world, unless you know a generous Russian.

Would you mind adding a link to where the first set can be purchased? I can't seem to find it on their website.

I've read the letter, but I still don't understand why they wouldn't want to advertise as such and sell any full expansions they still have left?

Looking at the available spare tiles page on Cundco's website, I noticed that The River II, the Count, Princess and the Dragon, the Tower, the Festival, and all 6 Mini Expansions have all tiles available for replacement purposes. If they have full sets of these tiles, why aren't they selling them as such, as many of us on here would readily buy them? Perhaps Cundco doesn't have the wouldn't components to some of these expansions? Even then, the River II, the Festival, and the 6 corn circle tiles from the minis don't require extra pieces. Thoughts?

Not only did I receive my copy of the Wind Roses from Cundco today, but also was finally able to access my P.O. Box to retrieve the Tunnels mini-expansion from meepleater!!!!! Thank you so so much for you generosity meepleater, I'm just that my much closer to getting everything I want in the old art style - (Wheel, Catapult, Beseigers, and some promos).

General / Catapult Rarity

« on: January 07, 2017, 01:22:39 PM »

As I try to complete my Carcassonne Old Art collection, aside from event promo tiles, I still need Wheel of Fortune, Besiegers, and the Catapult. While many or most of the old art expansions are difficult to find, it seems the Catapult is especially hard to track down at reasonable price. Since it seems to have been the least popular of the "large" expansions, why do people think this?

How exciting! I hope they continue to keep the classic art style.

I would definitely be interested in buying a reprint of The Besiegers for 5-10 euro - it's one of few expansions/mini-expansions I still need to complete my old art collection.

This 10th expansion for Carcassonne will come only in the CC II New Edition. That means the graphic artist is Anne Pätzke and not Doris Matthäus.

So it is confirmed    Can you confirm whether or not there any mini expansions left to be released in the original art style?

General / Will We Ever Get an Official Announcement?

« on: December 21, 2016, 12:33:41 AM »

Do you think we will ever get an official announcement or word that there are no mini expansions left to be released in the classic artwork? Everything points to German Cathedrals being the last, but until it's said for sure by someone official, I feel there is the ever so tiniest bit of hope there could still be something more. Perhaps some fan expansions such as Fortune Tellers being officially printed since the artwork is already done?

The old artwork is dead.

I know   German Cathedrals this past April was probably it. If they're considering this expansion #10, does that mean #6-9 will be released between now and March 2017? That would be very fast.
