Thanks for getting back to me and answering the questions

Would you do the €40 for those items and include the magazines for Windroses and Little Houses, plus postage?

I can DM my details if you are all happy with that?

Heya Biowanderer - a couple of questions if I may!

Firstly, would you be prepared to post to the UK?

Also is your C1 Windroses the 2012 version or the 2013 version released with Speilbox magazine? And just to double check is your C1 Festival 10 years still in punch with the 2 Rule tiles? And finally does your C1 Little Houses have its Speilbox magazine it came with originally?

Many thanks!

Yeah! Shame there isn't a way to post on eBay that this is a knock off!

Doing my normal search for Carcassonne stuff on eBay and this gem of an item came to my attention! Had no idea 999 Games published in Chinese and had compiled so many expansions into one box...

I guess "his Carcassonne box is only used to support the TV" can now be used to talk about a low level player 

Haha maybe! Though considering I'm usually the loser amongst my friends (except with Hunters & Gatherers) I'm worried it would be levelled at me despite being the one to own and safely store the boxes! Haha!

So my friend in the Netherlands knows I collect Carcassonne and they were visiting a friend of theirs when they saw this abomination of a TV stand! So they obviously sent me a picture to torture me - pretty sure it's either a Dutch 1st or 2nd Edition box as well!!

I've asked them to return and take more pictures and review the contents for me haha!

They look amazing! Sorry if this has been said elsewhere but how does one get Carcassonne Central World Cup tiles?

Official Rules / Re: Over Hill and Dale: Stables Scoring

« on: November 04, 2024, 02:05:47 AM »

All animals on the nine tiles are counted, regardless of any other features on the tiles.

I know it so that 9 cards are counted.. Regardless of whether some part of the road or city interrupts it.
Farm 1 for me

Thanks both for confirming my assumptions on the rules - much appreciated

Official Rules / Over Hill and Dale: Stables Scoring

« on: October 29, 2024, 03:40:56 AM »

Hi all,

So I was teaching Over Hill and Dale last night to someone I've played a lot of other Carcassonnes with and when I got to explaining the Stables they asked me the following question "Do the animals that stables score have to be both in the catchment area (tile and adjacents) and within the same pasture area? Or can the animals still be scored even if they are seperated from a stable by a road but are still within the stables' catchment area?".

I have always played the latter, that features don't interupt scoring animals - however her question did make me do a double check of the rules which was not as conclusive on this issue as it perhaps could be. The ZMAN rules read "For each stable, count the animals on the tile the stable occupies and the 8 tiles that surround it. Count every animal (rooster, cow, horse, sheep, and pig) on these 9 tiles. Each animal is worth 1 point". Whilst this seems clear enought that all animals score regardless of interuptions to the pasture - their accompanying diagram only has animals depicted in the same pasture as the stable with none seperated by roads/fields. A quick search of the forum and WICA didn't provide further clarity. So that leads me directly onto my rule question. Do animals seperated by roads/feilds still count for stable scoring? It certainly *feels* more Carcassonne to have them also have to be within the same pasture - but the rules lean the other way. I took a quick picture from our game to help demonstrate the question. Would the RED stable score 13 Points (shown on Farm 1) or 12 Points (shown on Farm 2) at the end of the game?

FARM 1: 13 Points

FARM 2: 12 Points

Thanks in advance! As I said I'm 99% certain it would score as shown in Farm 1 - but doesn't hurt to double check these things!

I think my German needs improving! A copy of Carcassonne: Das Schicksalsrad that I ordered from Kleinanzeigen arrived today and when I opened the box, alongside all the Wheel of Fortune Stuff, was a complete Carcassonne Catapult and C1 Tower! Don't remember seeing that on the listing haha!

General / Re: C1 Carcassonne Ventura First Edition (?)

« on: October 23, 2024, 04:44:54 AM »

Ahh thanks for the clarification! So I guess at it's so similar to PixelPark, albeit without an SDJ logo on the back, as well as nearly matching the RGG 3rd edition its probably from around 2001? Hopefully Ventura will get back to me with that, and confirm it as being released prior to the other Ventura box as we expect - at the very least it's a very pleasing addition to the collection aha

Yeah I won't take it out its seal, even if I do want to check if there any minor differences internally! Hahah well I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
