I haven’t seen anyone convert anything to C3 yet. There are some conversions between C1 and C2 over on the German and Czech forums.

I didn’t realize that this hadn’t arrived yet, but sure enough my C3 set was missing a pair of dice for the brown player. It was so long ago that I ordered these, that I forget when it was.

I’ve notified Asmodee and asked them to replace the photo.

I asked them to add photos and that's what we got. One of our Facebook fans has ordered and will let me know what it looks like when it arrives.

I would suggest a round limit, so that each player gets an equal number of turns, and full potential access to every tile.

In an interesting development, the C1 version of Monasteries in Germany is now available in the Asmodee shop. This has been difficult to find for many years now. https://shop.asmodee.com/carcassonne-5-german-cloisters-mini-expansion-ze014

Where is "The Summoning Circles"? And where is Exp. 12 ? :)

Not ready yet. More playtesting required.

It's showing in-stock at BoardGameBliss in Ontario, Canada. I sent an email to Asmodee USA yesterday and was told that a release date has not been set yet. Asmodee Canada also reports not in stock yet. I'm guessing whatever copies exist in North America must have been imported by the retailers from the UK. No idea why it's taking so long; from what I was told, the container shipped months ago and should have arrived by now.

The stickers finally arrived for my The Bets token upgrade project. I spent the afternoon trimming and applying.

I feel it worth noting that you don't need to play with everything in one game. You can also do different combinations of expansions with the same group of people to keep things fresh and interesting.

MegaCarc is about more than just placing tiles too. With more expansions comes more expansion interactions, and scoring gets more complicated.

I'm not familiar with Soccer Field Equipment Shop, but I have to wonder why they would be selling BGG promos... seems fishy.

You can see the tiles from the GQ promo here: https://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/Games_Quarterly_11_(1st_edition)#Tile_distribution

That 20th anniversary spring does split the farms into three, which is unique to that tile.

It's definitely better to wait on anything you're not comfortable with. I got impatient for certain things and have overpaid a few times. But I've managed to get almost everything I wanted thanks to help from several people on here. If you're a Discord user, I recommend joining us on there: https://discord.gg/tYkQvuSP

I see on your BGG shopping list that you're looking for Phantoms. MeepleSource has you covered: https://meeplesource.com/proddetail.php?prod=AcrylicMeepleSampler

Don't worry about Carcassonne getting abandoned, at least not by the German publisher. Carcassonne is a very big brand for Hans im Gluck. Asmodee (Z-Man Games) is the one who doesn't care because they have a very large distribution catalog, meaning that Carcassonne represents only a fraction of their total sales figures. Hans im Gluck intends to release all the major expansions (except Catapult) in C3 when they finish selling the remaining C2 inventory. I've heard the same from my contact at Asmodee.

I'm just hoping nobody realises that I was wearing the exact same hoody at our meetup around this time last year..... :o
Presumably it has been through the wash in between time.

Thanks for the great write-up!

As Decar said, the spot gloss on the 20th anniversary edition makes it easy to separate those from the Big Box base game tiles.

Although German Cathedrals is technically C2, they blend fairly well with C3 because there are no city tiles.

Some people don't mind the art style difference when playing with C1 and C2/C3 at the same time, so if you want the GQ promo I would recommend picking it up. For me, the main attraction was the river spring tile with the road, because it helped break up the farms better. The 20th Anniversary river also has a new spring tile, which I think achieves the same thing, so the GQ promo is less necessary from a gameplay standpoint. The main reason to buy GQ would be if you feel the urge to buy one of everything.

Blank tiles show up on Etsy and eBay from time to time, but generally there isn't a great source for Cundco items in North America. Cundco is aware of this and said that they would see what they could do, but there are limits to what they can do. Cundco is run by Hans im Gluck employees. North American distribution is the responsibility of Asmodee through their Z-Man Games brand. Asmodee/ZMG does not seem to be particularly interested in promoting Carcassonne in North America. What little promotion they do seems to be only because I prod them incessantly on social media. That being said, Asmodee did import some French copies of the new Winter Edition and I bought a copy from a retailer in Quebec.

Mists over Carcassonne seems to have arrived in North America, because someone on our Discord who works at a board game store said that her store has them in stock now. It's still listed as a pre-order item on Asmodee's online shop, and I haven't received a shipping notification from them yet, but hopefully soon.

My recommendation would be to wait until the new items are posted on Cundco (April 28), and then place a large order for everything you want (or can afford right now) to maximize the value you get for the 50 euros worth of shipping charges.
