La Porxada was also one of the first fan expansions to be more widely spread and given out (as stickers) at an event. In recent years, fans got better at designing fan expansions, and much better at actually making them, such as printing services onto blank tiles. And the international community has been growing lots. Last year at the world championships, almost all the participants and spectators went out for food and drinks at a nearby pub, and through BGA, whatsapp and many of the communities per country, people know eachother more and more. This has made it also that fan expansions are produced and shared more. I've been lucky enough to be gifted the Spain expansions from the last few ears of nationals, as well as the 2023 Hungarian promo (thanks again @Leven !!) All not "official", but great showings of the Carcassonne fan community!

very good find! And the 2nd print stringbag is also not easy to find! I'm not sure if it came with the tiles though, as i recall @Decar getting some of the bags separately. The first set of the 2 tiles did come with the yellow stringbag, of which there are a few different versions as well, but that's getting into details

I dont think there will be any that you can export. You can watch replays at BGA for example, and it will have the turn by turn transcript showing, but I don't think there's an option to export that

it is included in the Collections & Expansions page. Currently listed as the 1st printing of Count, King & Robber expansion in Finnish.
Unfortunately, it's not as straightforward as that, as Linksux menitoned; This box was released in Finland only, before the Count,King&Robber expansion was a thing in Germany or any other markets. I don't know if Lautapelit knew of Exp. 6, but here we go. As it was released there before Abbey&the Mayor, it is even marked on the box as Exp 5. Due to this, Abbey&Mayor in Finnish was numbered as 6 (and they've retained this in the C2 re-releases).
Kreivi ja Kuningas doesn't include the Cult, but does have the Scout tiles.
We can add a footnote for the C&E page, and i'll look to see if i can write up a good additional entry for the Variants page. Probably will add it under the "Limited Editions" header, as there doesn't seem to be a better header for it atm
(Bonus fun fact; as C1 Count,King & Robber was not released in Sweden, the Catapult was numbered as expansion 6. They did number B,C&B as nr 8 though)

Be careful not to look too deep into the Carcassonne rabbit hole I almost forgot to post this one, which arrived yesterday! For winning the CarcassonneCentral advent puzzle on Facebook, Scott was so kind to put together this package! Can't wait to try these out in a game!

I think the distribution might be more split per language rather than country specific. And yes, a bilingual country like Belgium makes something like that more complex. 999 Games has the distribution of the game in Dutch, Asmodee France (under the Z-Man Games brand) have it in French. So it makes sense for both to be involved in the Belgian market. (And I would argue in some parts in the east you could expect some German releases from HiG/Asmodee Germany, but let's not complicate it further)
In the early days (when HiG was doing the publishing in French themselves), 999 Games even included some french rules in some expansion boxes. This stopped, probably at similar time of when Filosofia took in the french distribution. It gets complex hahaha
The rules regarding the national championships can and will differ between countries, so do read up on that. For some you have to have the nationality, for some you have to live there, for some you can enter but just not represent the country at the world championships (if you win). One thing to note, is that the world championship rules state that you're only allowed to enter 1 national championship per year. Meaning you are technically not allowed to travel to a bunch of countries to try and win one and enter the world championships that way. If you don't win any national championship, then this wouldn't come up, but just a note from the world championships rules.
If you want to practise a bit on 4-player games, I'm happy to join some as well. Look me up on BGA (Willem88), and do send me a DM here as I dont always get BGA notifications

Also, as I told him on the group: "if it's not listed on Wica, it's not official enough for me, that's my excuse" (and this avoids me using the very few € Carcassonne left me before finding the few expansions I'm still missing )
Anyway: do you have more info about this tile? I think I heard about it on the forum but can't find it anymore... Was it a fan made tile?
Be careful, I can just as easily add it to the WICA It is a fan made tile, almost more as a wink or even a joke. Made by @MMike ! I got one from him, as have some others, and I got mine even signed by Klaus-Jurgen Wrede, along with other Spiel tiles But it is not an "officially" produced tile

Asmodee don't distribute Carcassonne in Belgium, I believe it's 999 Games for both NL and Belgium. And they usually outsource the organisation of both BE and NL championships, although they sponsor it of course.
With Belgium being bilingual, I would imagine it shouldn't be an issue for french speaking people to join in. The only thing I'm not sure of is if there are any rules regarding entry. Some countries have rules stating you're only allowed to participate if you live in the country, or have the nationality. For the Dutch championship I know you can always enter, however you are only allowed to represent NL at the World Championships if you have the Dutch nationality (last year the tournament was won by someone from Belgium, so te runner up went to Essen (and came in 3rd overall)
Good luck! The 4-player games can be tricky and catch people out, so best to practise those!

Very nice! Must've been hard to find! But do you have the Spiel 1 tile though? I got a visit from mister postman today as I was in the office; With this arrival, I am almost complete in my line up of C3 base games. Only 1 remaining, which is waiting for me at my parents, so I'll soon have them all together!
