Beschreibung:
Carcassonne begibt sich unter dem Motto "Carcassonne around the World" in die Suedsee. Die Spieler legen nach dem bekannten Prinzip Plaettchen aus und stellen Ihre Maennchen auf diese. Dabei werden aber keine Punkte mehr gesammelt, sondern Fruechte und andere exotische Waren. Mit diesen Waren wiederum sichern sie sich die Gunst der Haendler. Der Spieler, der die einflussreichsten Haendler auf seine Seite ziehen konnte, gewinnt das Spiel. Ein neues, eigenstaendiges Carcassonne Spiel in einer neuen Welt.

Description:
Carcassonne goes under the motto "Carcassonne around the world" in the South Pacific. Players lay tiles according to the well-known principle and make your male on this. But, with no more points collected but fruit and other exotic goods. With these goods again, they secure the favor of the dealer. The player who could pull the most influential traders on his side, wins the game. A new, stand-alone Carcassonne game in a new world.

-------------------------------
This new stand-alone-game for the Carcassonne family will come out this year in October.
I didn't play the game yet, because of the flood in June.

Sounds interesting. Do you know if Z-Man will be releasing it?
-
Sounds interesting. Do you know if Z-Man will be releasing it?
I think yes - why not?
But the release by Z-Man needs some time - because of the translation...
-
From what I'm able to pick out of that automatic translation, this sounds very interesting. The scoring mechanics have been completely turned around. Based on the name of the game, I'm expecting a lot of ocean tiles.
-
Its definitely hard to tell from this point ... But it seems there might be a trading element in this one?
-
Time will tell. I had better start saving my pennies.
-
Will this game take into account the rising sea levels for the island nations in that region? :-)
-
That game has already been done: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/65244/forbidden-island (http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/65244/forbidden-island) ;)

Here's the game box (http://www.spielbox-online.de/aktimgsp/A1378101832.jpg)
the latest edition of Klaus-Jurgen Wrede's masterpiece plays Carcassonne Carcassonne South Seas in the Caribbean is the title. Besides the game box, we do not have any further information about the game. Whether now the water meadows to the cities to islands, is pure speculation. But what stands out is a button on the cover: "Carcassonne Around the World" is to read them, and suggests that this is the beginning of a new series. We create two, three, many of Carcassonne ...
Update: Now the first details were known: the players place their meeples to collect bananas, shellfish or fish that need to be shipped then to get points.
Seems like it is a new series of Carcassonne..

Thanks Fitz
Google translate seemed to do a better job of translating than Bing

Thanks Scott - that sounds like good game too.
-
Thanks for the photo Icydarkstary. Merit for you.
It looks interesting, but I kinda hope it's not too close to Skipboris's Oceans. That would be awkward.
-
Thanks for the pic; I posted on our Facebook page.
I suspect the first fan expansion will be to add new trade goods. Maybe people should start calling dibs on which goods they want to add?
-
Hopefully this will debut at Spiel 2013! Excited to get my hands on it
-
A first look at some tiles.
This I have found at BGG:

So it looks like "trade routes" are going to replace roads. I wouldn't be surprised to see the ability to claim the individual routes. However, I also notice little arrows on the routes, suggesting directions of trade, perhaps?

Main differences to regular Carcassonne: You score trade goods, not points. There are trading ships, the need special combinations of trad goods. When you have the right trade goods you get the ship. At the end of the game the player with most ships has won.

Z-Man Games posted this yesterday on Facebook:
What's it about?
South Seas - Clear blue waters flow effortlessly around seemingly countless islands all connected by a sophisticated network of bridges. It is here that the busy people who inhabit this heavenly paradise frolic around to gather the gifts granted to them by nature. Fish from the sea, bananas from the islands' trees - the bridges are crowded with shell collectors showing off their latest find. From time to time, even merchant ships will dock at the island in search of cargo; the islander that supplies the merchants with the wares they seek is well rewarded for their trouble.
The players take turns placing land tiles on the table. These tiles create Bridges, Islands, Sea Regions and Markets, on which the players may place their Islanders in order to collect the various Wares.
At the end of each turn, the active player may choose to deliver Wares to a Ship in order to score points. Once all of the Land tiles have been placed or all the Ships have been supplied with Wares, the game is over and the player with the most points is crowned King of the South Seas.

I think I will get my Carc-Suedsee at the exhibition modell-hobby-spiel in Leipzig - 04.10.2013. And I will ask Klaus-Juergen Wrede, if he would sign it.
-
Cool.
Do you know anything about exact release date ?

Homepage Carcassonne-on-Tour (translation by bing translator)
South Pacific feeling in Leipzig
In a few days, it's time! The Leipzig model-hobby-spiel, Europe's largest public exhibition for model making, games and creative design opens your doors. For the first time, a new Carcassonne game will be presented at the Leipzig fair.
With Carcassonne South seas, the popular family game for the first time puts us in tropical climes.
Of course, author Klaus-Juergen Wrede will be also there and like to sign one of the 1,000 games exclusively in Leipzig for sale.
the model-hobby-spiel - 03.-06.10.2013 in Leipzig - Germany
-
That's the date for the exhibition, yes.
But what date is the actual release date for it to start selling in stores
-
That is around the Spiel 2013 in Essen - there it starts...
-------------------
at amazon.de they say 21.10.2013...

Thanks! I checked it the other day (order in the goes that seems to go a bit too slow ...), but did not see it listed. I guess you just mailed them? Not that I am in any rush to get it; I am just curious. :)

Carcassonne-South Sea
The new meeple are wearing raffia skirts.
-
That sounds hilarious! Can't wait to get it. Have you played it yet?

I'd like to play it with Udo Schmitz (Carcassonne-on-Tour) in June 2013, but the flood here in Germany made it not happen.
So no, I didn't played it yet - but next week I will play Carcassonne-Suedsee the first time.
-
So looks like Z-man is releasing this in Q4! So excited, apparently English copies will be available in Essen too! :))

I haven't been following this too closely, but after looking at Z-man's description it does look really awesome.
-
That does sound like fun. Thanks for posting that, kettlefish.
-
The colour of the Island segments seem to make it possible to play South Sea as an expansion to regular Carcassonne.
So I have already two ideas for possible fan expansions to the combined Carc / South Sea.
No one of the other spinoffs have made that possible, apart from New World that have tiles that are quite close in colour.
-
These new designed Meeple have a new nickname: Freeple
The Fr is because the Meeple are picking up Fruits.
I have to say: there are not many meeple in the box, but really many wooden trade goods...
Homepage from Tric Trac:
http://de.trictrac.net/news-carcassonne-in-der-sonne.php (http://de.trictrac.net/news-carcassonne-in-der-sonne.php)
There is a picture which shows Moritz Brunnhofer at work.
He is carrying a really big box Carcassonne-Suedsee...

That picture of Moritz is priceless! So it seems like a 4 player game with 5 Freeple each?
-
2-5 players
-
Since today I can talk more about Carcassonne Suedsee (Carcassonne South Sea).
This stand alone game has only 20 meeple or freeple. 4 for each player (5 colours).
The wooden trade goods: banana, shellfish and fish - 20 of each (10 big ones and 10 small ones).
-
So the boats are only tokens
-
There are Tokens:
24 ship tokens and 19 boat tokens

Here comes some more information about the video:
There are only 3 meeple of each players colour on the table.
Where are the fourth meeple of each colour?
The :red-meeple: :blue-meeple: :black-meeple: are actors.
video scene:
:blue-meeple: - shell
:red-meeple: - fish
:black-meeple: - banana
And the fourth of the :green-meeple: is the camaraman behind the scene...
The motto is:
Meeple at work in the South Sea...

That was a nice video. Will be interesting to see how many years we will get a new game in this series.
