Title: 10th big expansion for Carcassonne announced
Post by: Elfew on February 25, 2016, 01:49:18 AM
It was confirmed by our Czech distributor Mindok - there will be a new big 10th expansion next year but only for a new redesigned Carcassonne. Not for the old one. More info is available at our Czech forum carcassonneforum.4fan.cz.

I will post any news about this here for English speaking users.

Really sad that the Carcassonne v1 wont get this big expansion too!

Thanks - can you give a more direct link to your post on the Czech forum?  My Czech isn't on par!

I'm hoping that the information on this blog is a joke: http://carcassonnepiezadeinicio.blogspot.co.uk/2015/12/noticion-devir-apuesta-por-la-expansion.html

Translated by Google:

Some pieces of territory further show expansion icon, a drawing stool. On the other hand it is noteworthy that the figure of the Caganer , missing the stool! These aspects are related and are best understood by analyzing the fundamental rule of expansion.

When a player draws a land tile with the symbol of the stool, you can choose between placing a follower in the usual way or place your Caganer on the field segment with a picture of the stool.

Ah, I didn't realise it was old news - I just found it by clicking some links on the Czech site!

Haha JT Atomico - I'm 99.999% sure that's a Christmas-related joke (Nativity scenes in Spain often (always?) have a Caganer in them...)

They just wanna push customers to buy a new edition... 10th big expansion only for the new Carcassonne is the first golden bait. :(

Yes, the Christmas nativity scenes in Spain do almost always have a "Cagon" which is a man having a sh@#.

Well, at least it will be fun watching Decar and quevy and lots of other people create the 10th expansion in the old artwork.

Next year? So, they already know and announce plans for 2017?

So, there will be a Big Box for the new edition, with exp 1-2-3-5 and something extra?
And then, later, there will be a totally brand new expansion, but just for C2?

Did HiG ever confirm C1 is officially dead, except for some cathedrals/monasteries promos?

Awesome! But I hope none of it is exclusive to teh Big Box, I don't want to have to sell my my previously owned base/expansions then have to buy the big box.


Also, I feel like I'm reading too separate news. Is the Big Box this year or next year? And is the 10th Expansion in the big box?

You know... nowhere it actually mentions that there will be a 10th expansion soon, only that all new expansions will be in 2,0 graphics only...
