I agree with Scott's suggestions 1-4. I wouldn't be against #5 either.

Merry Christmas to you too mate!

We have a MEGA Carc organized for the 29th. This time with 8+ players. It will be long and drawn out, but it will be festive!

Happy holidays to all!

And let me add one more expansion I'd like to see in 2015: the Falcon Expansion for Carcassonne: the Castle.

Having just picked up a German version of the Castle for a good price, I'd also like to see something for the Castle... or something in a similar vein.

I like him. It means I can usually stop my brother from steal both of my cities at the same time!

We call him "MC Hammer" because of the pants / trousers

So I'm hoping to grab a copy for him for Christmas. One just came on ebay from Australia. (If you're going to bid let me know...I don't really want to bid against anyone from here if I can help it)

Good luck winning this AlbinoAsian! Make sure you keep a close eye on it right to the last second if possible!  :(y)

Thanks mate... I'll have to come up with a backup option just in case ;)

I've been wanting a copy of this for a while, but my brother is even closer to completing his collecting already having all the other base games.

I wonder if they are just biding their time.
They don't want to say they're NOT doing any more major expansions in style 1 (but that will most likely be the case).
They won't say it because they still have bunch of expansions out their for style 1 that they want to sell, but want to keep people optimistic that they're not buying into a dying breed.

Any of the expansions that are planned for style 1 are just cloisters and other minor things that with the art work done all ready to go. They'll space them out over the next couple years, when they'll finally announce a decisive move to style 2.

All of this is just speculation with a taint of cynicism.

Great! Must be the season for MegaCarc.

Love the picture and the info. It's helpful for us!
We're planning one this month in Australia with about 6 or 7 others before I head back to Thailand in the New Year

Small to medium game of Carc, I'm more than happy to include the Count. But with MegaCarc, the Count loses any enjoyment for me.

This is awesome. Agree that the lighting and shadows are a beautiful touch. Here is a thankyou from me

Udo told me, where the next "Around the world" will take place ;)
But still I don't know any details.

Are you allowed to divulge any news or should we keep guessing?

My guess is either Africa or Australia, although I love the idea that it could be at one of the poles.

Carcassonne Down Under... now that would be strange... but interesting =)

I like your idea. Could be a good repurposing of the catapult rules for me. Draw one then you get a triangle tile.


A variant of this concept i might try: put a triangle icon on 12 regular landscape tiles. If you draw one of these, you may play it as usual and then draw one of the triangle pieces and play it as usual. So in these 12 instances you get to play 1.5 tiles.

General / BORED? Board Game Cafe
« on: September 30, 2014, 06:57:20 AM »
Hi everyone,

I thought I'd just share the good news that my dream of helping set up a board game cafe has been finally been realised.
We've been open over a week now and things are going really well. We've already had several groups come in multiple times even though they had never played boardgames before. We're right smack bang in front of a university so students are our main clientele. We can seat 24 comfortably, but we're already looking at how we can expand.

I'm sharing this because I have Carcassonne and you guys to thank for this. If it wasn't for Carcassonne I'd have never ventured on this crazy but exciting journey. I put a lot of effort into the designs and logo, but it has been extremely enjoyable to do something that I love. My wife also did an amazing job on the feature wall artwork with meeples galore =)

For anyone that wants to check us out (or like us) on Facebook our address is https://www.facebook.com/BoredBG

News and Events / Re: Carcassonne - new Edition - Is that true?
« on: September 21, 2014, 04:36:16 AM »
Those with concerns feel free to email HiG... My brother is doing so. It's good for them to hear from those that are not excited about their new move.

Whether they respond or not don't worry but maybe they'll get the idea they need to make some more communication.

This actually also brings me a sense of peace. At least I know where they're heading with Carcassonne now.
I have enough wonderful expansions to never get bored of. I have printed fan expansions I haven't got to the table yet.
I may just leave Carcassonne 2.0 for the new kids. I'm happy with what I've got
