Mists over Carcassonne

[Challa007]

BRAVO!! 

And when adding ghosts to the board, we thought we had to place supplementary ghosts to each open cemeteries 

nice "idea" 
here we go: you have invented level 3.2 and 4.2 

and to make it even more difficult you mixed 3.1 & 3.2  / 4.1 & 4.2

I've completed Levels 4 and 5. I don't think I ever took ghosts from the cemeteries for completing. I generally always prioritised closing cemeteries anyway.

Level 6 is a huge jump up in difficulty though! Just getting all four colours to 10 points in the first stack is hard enough!

Asmodee USA has finally posted Mists over Carcassonne on their webshop for preorder, which means they've either just received the container or will receive it soon.

On their website, they state it will be available from January 6th. So the container is likely at the least very close

Here more ideas for variants:

3.3 / 4.3 (one or two players only)
you are NOT allowed to pick any color in your turn. A color sequence (defined at the beginning of the game) has to be observed - as if you were in fact 4 players

6.1 (one or two players only) - this should be easier than 6, but I am not sure if you can win 6 with it
you have 4 meeples per color (and not only 3)

No luck in North Texas finding this on 'release' date of January 6th.   Called 2 local games stores that I've bought from before and they were clueless...

Wow, we tried level 6 (2 players), never made it to the first hound... Even though we managed level 5.2 many times...

Could the clarifications quoted by Challa007 be added to WICA?

Also, for levels 5 and 6, if a cemetery is completed during step 3c, do we burry a meeple or not?

Yes, it is written in the German paper rules on page 11 (above the bat)

Ha ha ha, @corinthiens13 , I only realized right now that you wrote level 5.2

brilliant!! 



By the way, I have new ideas for (hopefully) easier versions of level 6 


Let's call them "Prelevel" 6.1  /   6.2   /   6.3   /    6.4
In fact, you take the rules of level 1 to 4 but as in level 6, each color gets its own points and also the token are placed like in level 6

example for Prelevel 6.1:
Rules of level 1
Meeples like in level 6
Ghosts like in level 6
token like in level 6 :no hound token (there are no hounds in level 1) but goal token on 50 points


And another idea (Prelevels 6.10    /  6.11   /  6.12)

Play level 6 as it is with this difference:
The number of players is not important any longer. If you play alone or with 5 players is all the same.

Now choose if you want to play with 3 colors (Prelevel 6.10), 4 colors (Prelevel 6.11) or 5 colors (Prelevel 6.12)

For each color put all 5 meeples in a common supply of meeples (common for all players).
For each color put a normal Carcassonne meeple on the scoreboard.

Now play normally level 6. On their turn, players can pick any of the meeples from the common supply.
