Title: Are there players here who actually do play with the new edition (CC II)?
Post by: Challa007 on November 13, 2021, 11:52:51 PM
Hi fellow players,

I am not new to the Carcassonne world (I am German and I played from the beginning of the game...), I am not even new to this forum (I joined in 2017), but after many years of silence and background activity (meaning crafting those wonderful fan expansions and playing them with much joy) this is my first post :)
I am a little sad to see that the activity around Carcassonne seems to go down and I am getting the impression that most of the players left are die hard CC I fans....  :yellow-meeple:
Dont get me wrong, I also do prefer CC I (for a lot of reasons) but I have no trouble playing with mixed games or even with only the new edition.
So, is my impression right or wrong? Pleeeease convince me that I am wrong  ;)

The real reason why I am asking 8):  I am just now developing my own very first fan expansion - idea was from a few days ago (I posted it in the German Carcassonne Forum) but it is only for CC II.
Do you think I can find players willing to test knowing that test has to be in CC II ? Are there even enough active players to find somebody willing to test? 

Thanks a lot for replying! :) :) :)

PS: and thanks a lot to all the wonderful people who have created those wonderful fan expansions I like to play with... :)

Hi Challa007!

Congrats on your first post! You will find all types of players on the forum: Die-hard C1 lovers, others who only knew C2, people who only play with one edition, some others who can mix editions, members who play only the base game, others who love to mix a zillion expansions... you name it.

I have a C1 collection and mainly play with C2 with some additions from C1 as I see fit. As I say, in the heat of the game, the artwork is not affecting the course of the game.

The activity comes and goes and lately we haven't seen much activity around new fan expansions after the summer break. I think that it becomes contagious when several people want to collaborate and create new expansions or when a member pitches a new idea and others love it and share their suggestions.

So I encourage you to post your idea (Der große Wegelagerer ;D) and let the fun begin!  O0

Hi Challa007!

I am happy to say that your impression is incorrect  ;D If anything there is trouble finding C1 people nowadays. Most of the people here seem to have moved on to C2, or even more often start with it outright.
The forum is very active and new stuff is constantly being discussed, created and announced.  :gray-meeple:

I'm playing mostly C2 these days, also because that's what they release new stuff for. So if a new expansion comes out I want to try it, and I don't like mixing art styles.
I've got a full C1 playset, that occasionally comes out though. Haven't forgotten about C1!

Thanks Meepledrone for your reply and obviously you are a very well known person also in Carcassonne Forum and have already found my idea  ;) :) :(y)
FYI, I just uploaded the English translation...

It would indeed be great fun to discuss my idea also here, I would love that, but one more question there: Am I not getting in trouble posting my idea in both forums? :-[ I mean I dont see any problem, but do forums like to proudly say: this fan expansion was developed by CCentral or CarcF, because then I get in trouble.... (just want to be sure beforehand...)  :)

Ah very good, does this mean you would also be willing to try my idea?  ;D O:-)

In C2 I really love the Fruit bearing trees, it might be my all time favorite expansion, we are including it in almost every game if possible. Lately we also played peasants revolt a lot which is also quite nice.
Also we have integrated the abbot permanently in our meeple set even if we have no gardens in the game.

In C1 I love the Goldmines; The Plague is also very nice (I am happy to have an original set)....

Hi from Bavaria to Switzerland  :) :)
I am doing the exact opposite. Playing C1 with everything existing in C1, if necessary mixing with C2 (Fruit Bearing Trees are compulsory  ;D) and sometimes playing only C2 with expansions that exist only in C2...

So then you are one of those who can test my new idea...  ;D

Hi Halfling,
thanks for your reply!! I am really happy to see that there are more C2 players than I thought... :) :) :(y)

Which expansion or combination of expansions do you like to play most? Do you also play with fan expansions? (Well there are not so many for C2 from what I have seen, correct?)

C2 only.  I like Mega-Carcassonne with all (mini)expansions released for C2, including Spiel Doch! Promo 2/2018, Spiel Promos and The Labyrinth (no CnP and PnP). House rules are forbidden; only official rules (where there is no official clarification - an interpretation; like https://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/The_Abbot#cite_note-15 and https://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/The_Princess_and_The_Dragon#cite_note-23).

https://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=5346.msg78226#msg78226

I own and play exclusively C1 and I don’t make new tiles.  But I love seeing the beautiful art and especially hearing interesting rules that are posted here.  Many of my own expansions were inspired by or adapted from other users’ posts.  Everyone seems to be very generous and just eager to share and promote this game we all love.

I’m excited to see your next posts!

Hi kothmann,
thanks a lot for sharing the link to your similar question. Indeed, that was very helpful!!  :(y)
Nice to see that all are relaxed here and that sharing the joy of exploring new possibilities prevails  :)

I will try to get in contact with a German Mod ASAP to see if they are as relaxed ( ;)) and then I will also share here. In the meantime, if you are registered with Carcassonne Forum, you can see it here:
https://www.carcassonne-forum.de/viewtopic.php?t=5396

But from what you wrote ("I own and play exclusively C1 and I don’t make new tiles"), unfortunately, I understand that you will not be able to play my expansion because it involves the small illustrations that are exclusive to C2, in my case the (H) illustrations (Highwaymen). Please see the attachment for detailed explanations of "small illustrations" (attachment is a snip of the Wikicarpedia page on Base Game). But I am sure you will at least have a look and give me your thoughts on the idea  ;D

True, I won't be able to play it exactly as designed.  But maybe I can fake it.  For example, I invented a way to play Inns with base game tiles only (https://boardgamegeek.com/blogpost/116044/variant-8-guesthouses-inns-surrogate).   I actually really enjoy that sort of thing.

From
Wikicarpedia (https://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/Base_game#Tile_reference), there are 8 base game tiles with Highwaymen icons, and they all have a single road segment: 2xRRFF, 2xRFRF, CCRR, CFRR, CRRF, FFFR.  So, I just need some mechanism for adding some sort of token to 8 tiles with single road segments....anyway, once I read the rules I'll see if I can make something work.  Or just have some fun trying.   ;D

You mean the big box that was just announced in France? It seems its the same content than the 2017 one with just a different box...

Oh great, I mean great that you want to register, not great that there is a bug. ;) Can I help with that in any way? Did you report this to the mods?
Because, unfortunately you will need it. After discusstion with the mods from CarcF they gave me enough reasons why it is much better to keep the discussion concentrated in one place. So you will only be able to see the full idea there... but I am looking forward to the discussion with you ..  ;D  :pink-meeple:  (and others, obviously  ;))

Oh yes, with that you will definitely be able to make something work! This is what I do at the moment to test-play, just add a tiny sticker to the tile and there you are  ;D  ;D

Are you sure about this? (20th anniversary tiles) because I just read somthing in the German Forum telling just the contrary  ???

It's a bit of both.
The contents are in terms of playing basically the same as BB6. Base game, expansions 1 and 2, and the 7 mini's (+ river and abbot of course)

However, the tiles have the slightly newer design, seen in the Anniversary edition and some more recent expansions. The cities are busier and the edges are slightly rounded for example.
Also there are some new tile configurations, but so far I believe only the Spring tile for the river (now has a road) and the end of the river (has a monastery) are known to be different, but there could be more

Are there rules about posting in English?  My German is only good enough for occasional silly wordplay (https://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=5283.msg78937#msg78937).

I like your idea, but I do have a question, so let me know if I should just post in English on the other Forum.  I could also PM you here if you want.

Bit late to the party, but I actually don't care about CI vs CII editions (I don't care *anymore* I must add  :P )
Thats why I don't have a CI and CII completionism. If I've got an expansion in 1 version, I am ot going to buy the other.
But it's mostly because I collect especially to play each expansion.
So I will use my Darmstadt and other stuff in games (but sleeved ofcourse, don't want them damaged).
But we just mix whatever we like together and in that matter create a different game every time we play :D

I am a CII player as well. I somewhat started with CI on the Xbox Arcade version, though I bought CII as that is what was available and I didn't yet know there was a difference (It was my first modern board game).

I don't regret my choice, I prefer C2's art overall. I do get the complaints that the tiles were too dark, I do love how CIII made the fields lighter again and C2.1 fixed the muddy looking cities, though besides the fields I prefer C2 still. A bit sad about some C1 stuff that won't get reprinted as I dislike the mixed look and now C2 is gone as well.

Post by: Bumsakalaka on November 24, 2021, 01:48:41 AM
Well. We started with C2 basic game and C1 sheep's and hills. I didn't know that it different version of design. Expansion with different design was something I expected. Than we bought several expansions mix of C1/C2 also without knowledge that exists different versions.
But we realized that there is C2 with sheds and gardens. Abbot is very powerfull meeple so we make decision to sell C1 expansions by C2 price as replacement and switch to C2.
Currently only C1 (witch have C2 replacement):we have is Exp 2 T&B and Mini 1-7

So I will use my Darmstadt and other stuff in games (but sleeved ofcourse, don't want them damaged).
But we just mix whatever we like together and in that matter create a different game every time we play :D

Better late than never  8) thanks for your reply!!
This is what we do also except that we do not collect anything. We only buy the ones we like fullstop. So no Katapult  :P but many great fan expansions. Family Feud is our most favorite!!!  :)  :pink-meeple:

Well. We started with C2 basic game and C1 sheep's and hills. I didn't know that it different version of design. Expansion with different design was something I expected. Than we bought several expansions mix of C1/C2 also without knowledge that exists different versions.
But we realized that there is C2 with sheds and gardens. Abbot is very powerfull meeple so we make decision to sell C1 expansions by C2 price as replacement and switch to C2.
Currently only C1 (witch have C2 replacement):we have is Exp 2 T&B and Mini 1-7

hi, thanks for your reply  :(y)
its interesting because it was also the abbot who brought us to buy the C2 base game although we already had the C1 one.
Long before that I just tried to get the abbot meeple and we played C1 with abbot but without gardens.
Then we discovered the iOS App and there we played the abbot with gardens very often so then ...... well we had to get the gardens, too.  :)

Bit late to the party, but I actually don't care about CI vs CII editions (I don't care *anymore* I must add  :P )

Well, the catapult is the only one I bought without the intent of playing it :p
It was the only one I was still missing (except for the russian promos and 2 spiel tiles), so could not resist  ::)
