And another great delivery this morning!


A set of the base game plus the first 4 major expansions, from Fantasmagoria. So a Bulgarian set  ;D

No, the rules for these are quite simple.
It translates to "Willem wins"

The expansions just give more points to Willem, but the base game rules still apply

I’m not sure I like those rules….

Wow, this is really a nice piece! If I read the timeline of C1 special editions correctly, this is the first of few tin-boxed iterations of the base game, followed by Tchibo edition and Müller Exklusiv-Edition. I am also much fond of metal boxes, so far having only Carcassonne für zwei travel set. I wonder if HiG ever comes back to this solid packaging option at some point.

It seems to be the same tin box as the one used for 2019 Advent bundle at Cundco  :yellow-meeple:

That's the box with the foam tiles, white thin cloth bag and misprinted tokens. The packaging was great, but the contents not so much lol
It's a nice one to add to your collection though

Yep, the trade tokens have a misprint on the back. If you see the sheets, there are 3 sheets with  Wheat/Cloth/Barrel/Wheat/Barrel.
The 4 sheet has Cloth/Cloth/Barrel/Barrel/Barrel, but on the backside of the tokens it still follows the W/C/B/W/B icons. Not a big thing, but still  ;D

But do you take off the shrink wrap to see it for yourself? That is the question! >:D

Today I got a double treat:
1) Oldbonz's pictures
2) A pack of two boxes containing the following:
    - Base Game
    - Exp. 1 + River I
    - Exp. 2 + River II
    - Exp. 3 + The Count of Carcassonne
    - Exp. 4
    - Exp. 5
Everything was mixed up to I had a lot of fun separating tiles and figures.  ;D
