Title: Carcassonne maps: Taiwan
Post by: carlium on August 27, 2021, 08:01:43 AM
Hi everyone,

Yesterday looking for some Carcassonne content, I found this post on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CTCPYY5hAIX/
In which there was a fragment of what looks like Carcassonne maps Taiwan. The same information was posted on their Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/katecatboardgames/photos/a.314921258669413/1831042797057244/

(https://i.ibb.co/3SYyYzq/240587231-1831042803723910-4656646326073208945-n.jpg) (https://ibb.co/bNRgRJZ)

I thought this was a fan expansion (similar to the
Ukraine map  (https://boardgamegeek.com/image/6346426/carcassonne) posted some days ago in BGG), but today I saw on the Facebook page of Swan Panasia (Carcassonne producer in Asia) this photo:

So, maybe it is kinda official!

Hey everyone!

The legendary #Carcassonne 20th Anniversary Edition is now available for pre-order!
And Swan Panasia, our favorite Neuschwanstein board game in Taiwan, has also made a great effort to produce the #Taiwan map expansion that will not be sold alone!
  
In 2019, a set of 5 map expansions of European countries, including Germany, France, UK, Benelux, and Iberian Peninsula, were released for the first time in the exhibition, and 2 map expansions of the US (US East and US West) were released in 2020.

This year, at the request of New Swansea, we have created a map expansion of Taiwan to reward the fans of "Carcassonne" in Taiwan.

The expansion is basically a poster paper (594x841mm).
You will need to use the basic version of Carcassonne and any of the Carcassonne expansions to play!
The Chinese rules will be presented as an online pdf via the QRcode (same as the original publisher) in the lower right corner of the map.

The map + commemorative edition will be available for pre-order on 9/3 (Fri).

The font and characters are still being adjusted, and the main focus will be on the product images announced on the official website when officially released.
  
Information on the Chinese version of the "Carcassonne 20th Anniversary Edition" board game ↓↓↓↓
Board game designer: Klaus-Jürgen Wrede (KJW)
The original publisher of the board game: Hans im Glück
Chinese table game exclusive agent: the new Swansea table games
Game size: 2 - 5 players
Game time: 35 minutes

#Only available in Taiwan, Penghuang and Malaysia
#Play with the basic version plus any of the expansions
#Buy up, Carcassonne fans!

Looks like some rule translations will have to be made, based on the info we got.

Post by: Meepledrone on August 28, 2021, 03:31:50 AM
Let's see if Swan Panasia is just translating the basic Carcassonne Maps rules into Chinese or they have a Map Chips expansion for it. So far, the map of Taiwan doesn't seem to show any special symbols for them.

Interesting are those "island" tile places with Coat of Arms.
How will be this scored?
Imagine tile RFFF with Monastery.
+2 for Road or +2 for Monastery or +2 for both or +2 for first finished feature?
How much points for Monastery at all?

Island squares with coats of arms are explained in the Map-Chip rules for the Iberian Peninsula map:

Island squares with coats of arms

You can only place tiles on island squares if they have been connected with a ferry route from the mainland (see general rules here). If you place a tile on a square with a coat of arms, you'll score 2 points for each coat of arms immediately.

I also included this info in the general rules of Carcassonne Maps. Same case for the Waves on the Benelux map.

Swan Panasia will have an issue with the base rules for Carcassonne Maps if they want to translate them as is. They don't explain island squares with coats of arms although they explain ferry connections.

Island squares were explained in the Map Chip rules for the Iberian Peninsula...

The Carcassone Maps rules are a bit of a mess. You have the same issue with Waves for the Benelux map or the set up of the US maps...

I had to rearrange some of the info so it would make sense for players just playing with just the maps...  :o
Title: Re: Carcassonne maps: Taiwan
Post by: Meepledrone on September 03, 2021, 12:29:16 AM
Today, Swan Panasia released Carcassonne Maps - Taiwan. You can find it here:

http://www.swanpanasia.com/products/carc-map-ex-taiwan (http://www.swanpanasia.com/products/carc-map-ex-taiwan)

Please check the final promo image below. The two start tiles are marked with mountains in this case.

They also released the Map Chips, available here:

http://www.swanpanasia.com/products/carc-map-chips-ex (http://www.swanpanasia.com/products/carc-map-chips-ex)

The rules in Chinese are available for download on on their website too. They can be downloaded from the Taiwan Map page. Here is the link just in case:

https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/575714cc825e8dbc6c83b98a/61309cfb8b2636430243cded_CarcMaps_Rule_Taiwan_CH.pdf (https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/575714cc825e8dbc6c83b98a/61309cfb8b2636430243cded_CarcMaps_Rule_Taiwan_CH.pdf)

They translated the latest Carcassonne Maps general rules into Chinese. The Taiwan map uses the same Map-Chip rules as Germany (majority votes promotion placing Map Chips under a meeple). This sounds okay, but they failed to explain how to score island squares with coats of arms, only explained in the Iberian Peninsula Map rules instead of in the general rules.

As a reference, here you are the equivalent rules in English:
* General rules (extended):

A gift from Germany-Taiwan map expansion

In 2019, Hans im Glück released a set of five European countries map expansions in the exhibition for the first time, including Germany, France, Benelux, British Isles, and Iberian Peninsula; in 2020, two more American map expansions were issued ( US East, US West).
In this important year of 2021, at the sincere invitation of the Neuschwanstein board game, the publishing house prepared a special gift for Taiwanese fans-"Carcassonne Taiwan Map Expansion", to give back to local fans for their 20 years of enthusiastic support.

How could such a good thing fall from the sky?
In fact, Moritz, the CEO of Hans im Glück, has traveled to Taiwan several times. He visited some board game shops, climbed Xiangshan to see 101, and visited Ningxia Night Market. He was very impressed with Taiwan. This is why we became the third one. Jump on the darling of the map expansion of Carcassonne? It may also be because the first Chinese version of the board game that Neuschwanstein represented 20 years ago was "Carcassonne". Now that the swan’s wish comes true? Or maybe it's because the founders of Goose Castle, YOYO and Moritz, are both from Munich, Bavaria, Germany. The friendship between the hometowns is hard to refuse?
According to YOYO, Moritz agreed to this cooperation proposal in one fell swoop, drawing an exclusive expansion of the Taiwan map of Carcassonne for Taiwan, allowing fans in Taiwan to enjoy the fun of putting Carcassonne territory on the map of their hometown. It is worth mentioning that all counties and cities in Taiwan can find marks on the map, so that everyone can proudly point out their hometown!

I just sent an email to Swan Panasia asking about batch orders to Europe, Spain included. So far, it seems you can pre-order the 20th Anniversary Edition + Carcassonne Maps Taiwan for local shipping (Taiwan and Malaysia), so I contacted them to see how to arrange orders shipped abroad.

If you are interested, it will be three of us in Spain for the time being, including you, DrMeeple and myself.

Willem in the UK was also interested in order a lot of stuff too.

Bumsaklaka in Slovakia.

Anyone else?

What about CundCo? Perhaps they will also import it to Europe.

I checked Cundco this morning and no news from them.

In any case, I also asked HiG about this matter on their Discord server a few minutes ago. Let's see what they have to say.

Post by: Meepledrone on September 03, 2021, 05:59:17 AM
OK.

I'd be happier if Cundco were sellign them too. This is Plan B so to speak...

So we have this this list for the time being:

That rules are distributed by QR code, that is such easy issue, just update that file.
Maybe wrote to Swan to update this issue. Thay have sources for that rules, it will be easy to add this there.
So URL for always "updated" rules :D

Nope. They only accept addresses from Taiwan and Malaysia. A message on there website says they are working on an English version targetted at international customers. All overseas orders have to be requested by email (their contact form) for the time being.

They also mention some distributors abroad, such as Similing Monster, but if you check their website, you will only find sleeves for Carcassonne from Swan Panasia (back in stock Sep 21st or so ;D), and no other Carcassonne-related products.

That's an unknown issue of the auto translation. The original FB post basically says it's only available in Taiwan. They used the more "complete" term, 台澎金馬, so that it is clear the adjacent islands are included, not just the main island.

Still waiting for a quotation that serves as a reference. We may need at least 3 shipments:
- Europe (to be split if cheaper)
- USA
- Singapore

Current list:

> Europe:
* Spain (4): DrMeeple, inigomartinez (x2), Meepledrone
* UK (3): Willem (plus more stuff), cidervampire, PurpleMeeple
* Slovakia (2): Bumsakalaka, DIN0
* France (2): Linksux (x2)
* Belgium (2): Windekind, Aenima
* Czech Republic (1): PetrM
* Estonia (1): InsaneLiz

At the beginning of this week I asked again for two sample quotations to have a hint on how shipping costs to Europe behave:
* One with 6 maps
* Another with 16 maps (figure that I will have to update again)

Don't want to try many options in parallel since several of my messages haven't been answered so I'm keeping one thread alive.

Last night, after several exchanges during this week, the Swan Panasia rep told me the quotations will take a few more days since they haven't solved the details for the shipping:

Quote
Because the size and weight of the outer box have not been determined yet, please wait a few days.
Please forgive the inconvenience caused.

Depending on their answer, we will have to determine how many shipments we should arrange.

I suspect that shipping to Europe and then on to Singapore or the US may not be very efficient cost-wise (shipping costs, customs fees, import taxes and VAT). So I was thinking on arranging:
* One shipping to Singapore (the closest destination)
* One shipping to US West Coast (the closest coast to Taiwan)
* One shipping to Europe

I would resend each lot to one sender per country if agreed and they you may arrange the domestic distribution in person or other means.

Revisiting the specs for the Taiwan map I noticed this:

Quote
Specification: 594x841mm
0.300 lbs. German imported super white super snow copper + bright film embossing with storage paper cylinder (φ80×650mm) + 2 pieces of plastic cover

So I understand they are trying to send the storage cylinders with one map each inside a large box. :o If the shipping costs go sky high, I was thinking of suggesting them to ship all the maps rolled up together in one single box, so costs would go down dramatically (less weight, smaller box). Then I would need to get some cardboard storage cylinders here in Spain and use them for shipping.

Let's see next answer from the Swan Panasia rep.



@Willem: Don't know if you checked Swan Panasia's web site. If you want to order extra stuff they will arrange two separate shipments: one for the maps and one for the rest of the stuff I presume from this note on the promo page regarding the 20th Anniversary Edition + Taiwan map bundle:

Quote
Carcassonne 20th Anniversary Edition" and "Taiwan Map Expansion" will be divided into two pieces and sent at the same time. The map will be rolled into a bundle and placed in a paper tube (with a lid) for delivery. When receiving, please pay attention to whether both items have arrived. After receiving one of them, if you do not receive the other within three days, please go to the FB private message editor.

Don't know what this may represent regarding costs...



@Bumsakalaka It may be a coincidence but after reporting earlier this week the missing info in the rules about placing tiles on island squares with coats of arms, Swan Panasia has uploaded a new version of the rules covering this matter. Of course it is not in the section with basis rules but it is part of the Map Chip rules... as HiG did in the Iberian Paninsula rules.  :o

@meepledrone - cool as I said, that "online" rules have advantage. Problem is that there is no verisoning :(
Anyway, better to get always new rules.

Shipment as one package to Spain and then some to EU will be better. I'll update that Czech and Slovak count of maps then, when price for whipping will be known :D

We should be closing the final figures soon, so we can provide Swan Panasia a final order. Otherwise, the order and shipping costs will be a moving target and they may decide to ignore our request altogether.

Let me know if the requests from Czech Republic and Slovakia should be sent to one destination only. Otherwise I will consider two separate destinations within Europe.

I understand this is an extra effort for them. If they are working on shipping the maps with storage cylinders, getting the right box to put everything is not that straight forward...

I would like to reply to their first quotation with the final order size and the no-storage-cylinder option.

The current list is as follows:

Thanks for following up on all of this! Really appreciated!

I have noticed as well that they only sell the base game in old art in a bundle with the first 2 expansions. That is fine for me.
So then for me it becomes 1 map, 1 old art bundle (as found here (https://boardgamer.org/product/%e5%8d%a1%e5%8d%a1%e9%a0%8c%e5%a5%97%e7%b5%84%ef%bc%88%e5%8d%a1%e5%8d%a1%e9%a0%8c%e4%b8%bb%e6%95%99%e5%a0%82%e8%88%87%e9%a4%90%e9%a4%a8%e6%93%b4%e5%85%85%e5%b0%8f%e8%b1%ac%e8%88%87%e5%bb%ba%e7%af%89/)) and 1 new art base game (as found here (https://boardgamer.org/product/%e5%8d%a1%e5%8d%a1%e9%a0%8c2-0-carcassonne-2-0-%ef%bc%8d%e4%b8%ad%e6%96%87%e7%89%88/))
Let's see what that adds up to with shipping

Tehehehehehe. Swan Panasia calls it Carc 2.0. Flame suit on. It's clearly 2.1 because it has the the revised brown soil coloring and does not have clipped cities. Swan Panaisa should accordingly update their site before a completitionist buys a copy and expects the darker brown soil. -  :pink-meeple:

Last week HiG told me on Discord they don't have plans to sell the Taiwan maps on Cundco for the time being.
Quote
Hello
so far we  do not plan to release it on Cundco.
If it changes, we will let you know.

I also asked Smiling Monster, the Swan Panasia distributor in Europe, based in Germany. The answer was as follows:
Quote
Hi,

i´m sorry, we won´t be able to get it (at least not shortly as Swan Panasia is not coming to the Essen game show this year).

You could try to get from Swan directly:
https://boardgamer.org/

The website is in Chinese but if you click on "international" you´ll get to their overseas service.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,
Helge / Smiling Monster Tames Team

So they redirected me to the current open channel we have with Swan Panasia.

Too bad, I got curious, but couldn't see what it was now
I'm not necessarily collecting Asian stuff, but am interested in copies of the base game with the title in a different language. So not necessarily the German, Dutch, french, English, etc copies that say "Carcassonne", but copies like the Russian, Japanese or Bulgarian base games. Or the ones from Swan Panasia  ;D

We just got our first quotation for the Europe lot:

Quote
Hi Hector,

Because of the preorder stuffs and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, we were busy for a few weeks, sorry for late reply.

About the order, we will as your request, put some maps inside the storage bin and some maps around it to let the package smaller, 30x maps$15000 + carsassonne 3 games set$1490 + carcassonne 2.0$1160(all Chinese Language Edition), total include postage would be NTD$21,470.

I prepared an estimate of the costs (see attached XLS file) including shipping and customs duties to send the order to Spain. After this, we would need to add costs to send them to each country (UK requires additional Customs Duties). I will need to get extra cardboard storing tubes to ship the maps.

So the cost for now in EUR is as follows:
- Willem: 146,36 EUR (Map + C1 bundle + C2 base game)
- Others: 23,23 EUR / Map

I would need the following info by PM to proceed with other quotations:
@Allograft I would need your address to ask for a quotation sent to you for the USA stuff
@DavidY I would need your address to ask for a quotation sent to you (no possible grouping with other requests)

Please confirm people from Europe if you agree with the arrangement so I can proceed with the payment.

Thanks in advance.

People in Europe, please confirm you participation in the order. And review if you agree with the distribution scheme. In those countries with several members, I picked those with the largest order as entry point. Belgium is not decided.

Besides this, I would like split the payments into two parts. One covering the Swan Panasiacosts (known cost) and a second one covering import Taxes (estimates for now) in the EU and shipping to the entry point in each country (unknown yet). Paypal works for me. Once I collect the initial amount, I will pay the order.

The second payment would cover Taxes and Shipping to each country, but I will only know the exact amounts once I drop each sub-order in the mail.

But first we need to confirm the order for Europe to we can place the final order. Swan Panasia sent me a link to pay the order for 30 maps but as you can see, the order will change depending on your final decisions.

Please be quick in making your decision over the weekend. Thank you so much in advance.

People in Europe, please confirm you participation in the order. And review if you agree with the distribution scheme. In those countries with several members, I picked those with the largest order as entry point. Belgium is not decided.

Besides this, I would like split the payments into two parts. One covering the Swan Panasiacosts (known cost) and a second one covering import Taxes (estimates for now) in the EU and shipping to the entry point in each country (unknown yet). Paypal works for me. Once I collect the initial amount, I will pay the order.

The second payment would cover Taxes and Shipping to each country, but I will only know the exact amounts once I drop each sub-order in the mail.

But first we need to confirm the order for Europe to we can place the final order. Swan Panasia sent me a link to pay the order for 30 maps but as you can see, the order will change depending on your final decisions.

Please be quick in making your decision over the weekend. Thank you so much in advance.

Note: I include the estimation again, just in case.

EDIT: Updated Slovakia x 3
EDIT: Added MetalGearHorus / Horus to USA East Coast

Hello,

My friend just told me about this thread. Is it too late for me to jump onto the order for the Taiwan map? I am in the USA (in Colorado). I used to live in Taiwan so would love a copy of this map if I didn't miss that window.

Thanks!

I've also been off the grid for a while.  If possible to join onto the USA order, I'm in.  Located in WI so doesn't look like I'm near neighbors with any of the other USA folks so would need to pay for domestic shipping after the bundle arrives here.  Completely understand if the order is already locked as I'm very late in the game here.

For the guys in USA, the idea is to send the maps to Allograft in the West Coast and then deliver them from there.

Anyone from Europe impatient already?

The quotation for USA is in the works. I got word from Swan Panasia and they are working on it. I will share it with you as soon as I get it.

Regarding Singapore, the Swan Panasia rep told me they have a local distributor there, so the map can be bought from them. Let's see if DavidY contacted them or even paid them a visit.

I was expecting a charge  of around 660€ on my VISA (close to the estimation plus some currency exchange rate fluctuation) but they charged €689.62... That is €30.28 more than the initial estimate.

I already got an acknowledgement from Swan Panasia too. Let's see the next steps.

Hope that Customs Duties behave better...

Note: Just to let you know this may happen when paying for the maps to be sent to the USA.

Hmm I was last time in Barcelona in 2019 just for one day. It was our end of journey fron Girona - Andorra - French Pyrenees - Carcassonne - Tossa del Mar - Barcelona. In Barcelona just visited Sagrada Familia and check changes after 20 years from last visit (I guess I preffer previous "gray/sandy color" version) and than wanted to find another parking place, everything including payment parking was full. So we make car traveling arround city, visit Olympic Stadium, Port, La Rambla and of course Airport of Barcelona as final sightseeing car-trip :D

I have some news for you:

* Order for members in Europe: Order sent yesterday.

Quote
We've sent the order #3 on 10/5.
The normal delivery time is about 14-18 working day(not include customs clearance outgoing and incoming), due to the Covid-19, the delivery time would be delay, so we cannot confirm the exact delivery date.

* Order for members in the USA: Quotation received for 14 maps.

Quote
14x maps$7,000, total include postage would be NTD$8340.

This represents $298,71 in total or $21,34 per map not including Customs Duties or domestic shipping. Bear in mind we were changed around €30 for the currency conversion, so this may also happen here to a certain degree.

@Allograft any hints on Customs Duties applicable?

@TheDoctor_13 If interested, please indicate the number of maps to request another quotation. I assume adding one map or two will not affect shipping.

Quote
So sorry I forgot that the mailing address is the United States.
15x maps$7,500, the correct total include postage would be NTD$9,200.(previously provided was the shipping cost to Spain)

This represents $328.67 in total or $21.91 per map not including Customs Duties or domestic shipping. Bear in mind we were changed around €30 for the currency conversion, so this may also happen here to a certain degree.

If anyone has a hint on what Customs Duties should applied, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

USA Roundup

Hi folks,

Let's get going on this USA order of the Taiwan maps

Here's who we've got:

> USA (15):
* USA West Coast (10):
   - Mikeagan (x1)  :(y)  C:-)  :green-meeple:  :@
   - Allograft (x8)  :(y)  C:-)  :green-meeple:  :@
   - TheDoctor_13 (x1)  C:-)  :green-meeple:  :@
* Colorado(1):
   - edarling (x1)  :(y)  C:-)  :green-meeple:  :@
* Wisconsin (1):
   - gamgeefan2 (x1)  :(y)  C:-)  :green-meeple:  :@
* USA East Coast (3):
   - ny1050220 (x1)  :(y)  C:-)  :green-meeple:  :@
   - Carlium (x1)  :(y)  C:-)  :green-meeple:  :@
   - MetalGearHorus / Horus (x1)  :(y)  C:-)  :green-meeple:  :@

 :(y) = paid for map and international shipping
 C:-) = sent via post and tracking number provided
 :green-meeple: = final payment for tube and shipping received
 :@ = delivered

Payment will come in two parts. First, people will pay to get it across the pond to me.

The above represents $328.67 in total or $21.91 per map not including Customs Duties or domestic shipping. Bear in mind, the Europe group was charged around €30 for the currency conversion, so we will take this into account ahead of time. For €30/15 maps is €2 per map. Given the current conversation rate from Google of 0.86 €/$, then that's an extra $2.32 per map. So, that would be $21.91 + $2.32 = $24.32 that I want to receive from people via PayPal, VenMo, or possibly other means. If people choose to pay via PayPal, you've got absorb the fee if you want the assurance of insurance for paying for a good rather than friends and family. I must receive $24.32 per map after whatever associated costs there are. PM me, and I can give you payment addresses.

The second payment will have two, possibly three, parts. If I have to pay some customs and duties, then I will pass those along and will need to be reimbursed.. Second, I have to ship to you, so that's to be worked out. I usually do USPS first class, but if people want something different, then we can work that out too. Finally, if I have to pay for any containers, then that may be a third component. No tip requested or required.

My ballpark is no more than $45-$50 all in per map. Hopefully less. That being said, I am just looking to cover my out of pocket expenses. My time and effort is a labor of love to community to increase all of our enjoyment.

Please confirm, PM me, and let's get payment arranged to get these puppies to us!

Post by: Meepledrone on October 18, 2021, 11:46:24 AM
Hi fellow forum members in Europe!

I just received the order today. I was expecting a painstaking process to get the order through Customs but, guess what!, it was delivered straight to my home, no paperwork no nothing, and I only had to pay 6.59€ in cash to the postman as Customs Duties. I checked the tracking page and the package was tagged as NON-DUTIABLE. (Whaaaaaaaat?)

This means the money I had collected including the Customs Duties estimation will help pay the additional boxes/cylinders and the delivery to your countries. Now I have to pass quickly to phase two. This was totally unexpected!  ;D

So far, we had a bank extra cost for €30.55 and Customs Duties for €6.59. This means we saved €154.13 in Customs Duties and VAT. So I have €93,32 left for the delivery of the maps to your countries that where originally meant to pay for the aforementioned taxes. I send the maps and stuff by registered mail. At that point, I will recalculate everything and prepare a balance for each of you.

I would need the full address of the following people to send the corresponding part of the order (please, PM them to me):
* DrMeeple (x1)
* inigomartinez (x1)
* MeepleFan (x1)
* Willem (x5 + extra stuff) - Hub for UK
* Bumsakalaka (x13) - Hub for Slovakia and Czech Republic
* Windekind (x1)
* InsaneLiz (x1)
* KlausiMausi (x3)

In the meantime, while I manage to send the maps and the extra stuff, here you are some pictures:  ;)

1) The box I received. Bumped and soaked in one corner. The goods inside were in perfect condition.

(https://i.imgur.com/3cpZJUV.jpg)

2) The contents of the box... What a magnificent view!

(https://i.imgur.com/DBLrCA3.jpg)   (https://i.imgur.com/qJ09r1D.jpg)

3) The Swan Panasia sets in perfect Chinese, for Willem's delight.

(https://i.imgur.com/lY7UIkM.jpg)

4) Each tube contains 5 maps. Hee you can see the contents of one of them...

(https://i.imgur.com/iSeOTMd.jpg)   (https://i.imgur.com/fEK4mYA.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/Alt86jT.jpg)

Any comments or suggestions?

EDIT: I subtracted €30.54 pending to be received from Slovakia, so the total amount left is €93.32

Just in case, you may find the Carcassonne Maps rules on WICA. The Taiwan map is also covered.

https://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/Carcassonne_Maps (https://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/Carcassonne_Maps)

The Map Chip rules are the same as those for the Germany map: Map Chips allow you to upgrade meeples and increase their majority vote by 1.

The Taiwan map also includes island squares with coats of arms, which were featured only on the Iberian Peninsula until now. When placing a tile on one of those squares, the active player scores 2 points per coat of arms immediately.

Enjoy!

This is what I can tell you:
* The shields on roads was part of the rules already (see page 2)
* The shields on islands squares was added after I told them in my initial contacts to get the Taiwan maps (see page 5). It may also be a coincidence.

Is anything else missing?

USA Roundup

Hi folks,

Let's get going on this USA order of the Taiwan maps

Here's who we've got:

> USA (15):
* USA West Coast (10):
   - Mikeagan (x1)  :(y)
   - Allograft (x8)  :(y)
   - TheDoctor_13 (x1)
* Colorado(1):
   - edarling (x1)  :(y)
* Wisconsin (1):
   - gamgeefan2 (x1)  :(y)
* USA East Coast (3):
   - ny1050220 (x1)  :(y)
   - Carlium (x1)  :(y)
   - MetalGearHorus / Horus (x1)  :(y)

Payment will come in two parts. First, people will pay to get it across the pond to me.

The above represents $328.67 in total or $21.91 per map not including Customs Duties or domestic shipping. Bear in mind, the Europe group was charged around €30 for the currency conversion, so we will take this into account ahead of time. For €30/15 maps is €2 per map. Given the current conversation rate from Google of 0.86 €/$, then that's an extra $2.32 per map. So, that would be $21.91 + $2.32 = $24.32 that I want to receive from people via PayPal, VenMo, or possibly other means. If people choose to pay via PayPal, you've got absorb the fee if you want the assurance of insurance for paying for a good rather than friends and family. I must receive $24.32 per map after whatever associated costs there are. PM me, and I can give you payment addresses.

The second payment will have two, possibly three, parts. If I have to pay some customs and duties, then I will pass those along and will need to be reimbursed.. Second, I have to ship to you, so that's to be worked out. I usually do USPS first class, but if people want something different, then we can work that out too. Finally, if I have to pay for any containers, then that may be a third component. No tip requested or required.

My ballpark is no more than $45-$50 all in per map. Hopefully less. That being said, I am just looking to cover my out of pocket expenses. My time and effort is a labor of love to community to increase all of our enjoyment.

Please confirm, PM me, and let's get payment arranged to get these puppies to us!
- :pink-meeple:

Alright, USA order is proceeding nicely. We have two more folks that need to send payment for the first step.

Appreciated, Willem!

Here you are the final balance after the shipping from Spain.

Except MeepleFan and the guys from UK, all the rest owe me the amounts reflected in the table below. Please proceed with the payment using Paypal or a money transfer as you did for the initial payment. Thank you in advance.

I will pay MeepleFan in person on Tuesday... And then we have the guys of the UK: Willem, I can send you €0,08 and then each of the other guys can give you a penny for your thoughts when your meet to distribute the stuff. You tell me.  ;)

If you have any questions, please let me know.

I have to make a correction to the previous table. I didn't distribute the balance correctly between Bumsakalaka and DIN0. I calculated the distribution based on the total difference, not distributing the shipping and packaging costs. This was mistake since the amounts remaining from Slovakia and Czech Republic were not proportional to the number of maps they ordered. Thanks Bumsakalaka for letting me know.  :o

So, in the end, I also owed Bumsakala €2.72 but Bumsakalaka will take care of that difference when sending the maps to DIN0.

Meepledrone,

I purchased the items from the link that I was provided. It has posted to my credit card, but I haven't gotten anything else besides the email after the purchase. So, no shipping updates at all or any other communication.

Might you follow up with your contact to find out where things are at with them?

Those of us in the USA owe Meepledrone a big thank you. I was trying to do the polite thing and not pressure Swan Panasia, but that was clearly misplaced. I bought the stuff on October 20, but apparently buying something and sending money isn't enough to prompt their shipping department to pack and send stuff. So, it looks like Meepledrone was correct to push a bit, and hopefully we'll get some movement soon.

I do want to let USA buyers know, I am headed out of the country Dec 9 through January 7, so if it arrives in that time frame, there will be some delay. That being said, let's hope that it arrives before so that I can distribute. I suppose if it hadn't been for Meepledrone, I might not have even pushed to get the ball rolling until after I got back. -  :pink-meeple:

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum and collector of the Carcassonne game.
I read that the ordering and delivery process for the Taiwan map you organized is closed. I guess I have to order it myself directly from Swan Panasian Games. Unless someone has a spare one.
I live in the Netherlands close to the Belgian border.

All those of you who received the maps already, have fun playing it!!

Hello USA delivery group!

I have news. I was going to send via PM, but I kept getting 406 error for last 12 hours.

Anyhoo, here's what I wanted to say. I guess that there is no concern about publicly posting the information:

Good news! With Meepledrone's help, I was able to successfully negotiate the transaction with Swan Panasia, and our maps are on the way.

Tracking number is: CG001336111TW. Although it's from Taiwan, you can check it with USPS tracking. I'll let you know as things develop, and you can also check yourself whenever you feel like. The customer service rep indicated that it might be like 16-18 days, but with corona, who knows.

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum and collector of the Carcassonne game.
I read that the ordering and delivery process for the Taiwan map you organized is closed. I guess I have to order it myself directly from Swan Panasian Games. Unless someone has a spare one.
I live in the Netherlands close to the Belgian border.

All those of you who received the maps already, have fun playing it!!

Best Regards,

Hi Geert,

Welcome to the forum! Sorry you missed the bulk purchase we did for Europe. I wish you had been around one month earlier.

You may be new to the forum but you are not new to Carcassonne as far as I can tell from your profile. What type of games do you like: no expansions, a few expansions or lots of expansions? Are you into hard-core completionism? Tell us a bit about your preferences if you wish posting on this board.  ;)

Hallo konrad2605!!!

Ich bin mir über den Zeitpunkt der Lieferung nicht sicher.

Da Deutschland in der Pole-Position ist, würde ich erwarten, dass jeder aus Deutschland sich als Verteilerzentrum für die anderen Leute in Deutschland und dem Rest von Europa zur Verfügung stellt. So haben wir es auch für die USA gemacht.

Ich kann dem Freiwilligen helfen, indem ich den Kontakt zu Swan Panasia herstelle und ein Angebot anfordere, aber ich bräuchte eine Zieladresse + E-Mail + Telefonnummer, damit sie die Versandkosten berechnen können. Sobald sie sich wieder melden, sollte der Freiwillige die Bestätigungen von allen Beteiligten einholen und das Geld für die Bezahlung einsammeln (das kann meiner Erfahrung nach eine Weile dauern, es sei denn, der Freiwillige zahlt im Voraus - Bestätigungen sind also sehr wichtig, es sei denn, man möchte nicht mit zusätzlichen Karten dastehen).

Wir haben jede Karte für etwa 16 € plus einen Teil der Versandkosten bekommen. Ich war überrascht, dass ich nur 6,59 € an Zollgebühren zahlen musste... Ich hatte mit 100 € oder so gerechnet, aber das Paket wurde als nicht zollpflichtig eingestuft (:o). Dazu kommen noch die Kosten für Verpackung und Versand bis zum Bestimmungsort.

Gibt es Freiwillige, die als Verteilerzentrale fungieren? Ich denke, 13 Personen sind eine ausreichend große Gruppe, um den Prozess zu starten.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen!

Hi konrad2605!!!

I'm not certain about the delivery timing.

As Germany is in pole position, I would expect anyone from Germany to volunteer as distribution hub for the other people in Germany and the rest of Europe. This is how we did it for the USA.

I can assist the volunteer by opening the contact with Swan Panasia and requesting the quotation, but I would need a destination address + email + phone number for them to calculate the shipping costs. Once they replay, the volunteer should handle the confirmations from everyone and collect the money for the payment (this may take a while as per my experience, unless the volunteer pays up front - so confirmations are crucial unless you don't care to end up with extra maps).

We got each map for around €16 plus a portion of the shipping. I was surprised I only paid €6,59 as Customs Duties... I was expecting €100 or so, but the parcel was tagged as nondutiable (:o). Then on top of that, you will have to add packaging and shipping to final destination.

Any volunteers to act as distributor hub? I think 13 people is a group large enough to start the process.

Best regards!

Ich könnte als Verteilerzentrale fungieren.
Nur müssten die anderen Mitgliede wissen, das der Versand mit DHL von Deutschland nach Europa 16€ kostet.
Innerhalb von Deutschland 6€.
Der Karton ist über 60cm und ich möchte, das die Map (DIN A1) heile ankommt.
Dazu kommen Anteilig die Versandkosten und Zollgebühren vom Hersteller.
Nur wenn ich darüber eine Bestätigung bekomme, kann ich es machen.
Danach kannst du den Kontakt mit Swan Panasia herstellen und ein Angebot anfordern.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

I could act as a distribution centre.
But the other members would have to know that shipping with DHL from Germany to Europe costs 16€.
Within Germany 6€.
The box is over 60cm and I want the map (DIN A1) to arrive in one piece.
In addition, there are the shipping costs and customs fees from the manufacturer.
Only if I get a confirmation, I can do it.
After that you can contact Swan Panasia and ask for an offer.

Ich habe mal bei UPS geschaut.
Die Preise liegen zwischen 12 und 14€.
Wir haben in der Nähe kein UPS also mit Abholung.
Ich habe im Internet mal ein Versandberechner genutzt. Aber das Ergebnis ist bedeutend teurere.
Es kann günstiger werden, wenn ich direkt die PLZ habe.
Falls jemand weiß, wie ich es günstiger international Versenden kann, kann er sich melden.

I had a look at UPS.
The prices are between €12 and €14.
We don't have a UPS near us, so we have to pick it up.
I used a shipping calculator on the internet. But the result is significantly more expensive.
It can be cheaper if I have the postcode directly.
If anyone knows how I can send it cheaper internationally, they can get in touch.

Yes I saw this and was thinking about waiting for a couple of weeks and see what happens.

Before getting hands-on with first bulk order, I asked Cundco and Smiling Monster (the Swan Panasia distributor based in Germany) about their intentions regarding the Taiwan map and both replied they would not sell it. The same happened with the Singapore distributor, so we had to go to Swan Panasia directly. Now we are getting mixed signals...

I have no problem in waiting for any developments.

USA Roundup

Hi folks,

Let's get going on this USA order of the Taiwan maps

Here's who we've got:

> USA (15):
* USA West Coast (10):
   - Mikeagan (x1)  :(y)
   - Allograft (x8)  :(y)
   - TheDoctor_13 (x1)
* Colorado(1):
   - edarling (x1)  :(y)
* Wisconsin (1):
   - gamgeefan2 (x1)  :(y)
* USA East Coast (3):
   - ny1050220 (x1)  :(y)
   - Carlium (x1)  :(y)
   - MetalGearHorus / Horus (x1)  :(y)

Payment will come in two parts. First, people will pay to get it across the pond to me.

The above represents $328.67 in total or $21.91 per map not including Customs Duties or domestic shipping. Bear in mind, the Europe group was charged around €30 for the currency conversion, so we will take this into account ahead of time. For €30/15 maps is €2 per map. Given the current conversation rate from Google of 0.86 €/$, then that's an extra $2.32 per map. So, that would be $21.91 + $2.32 = $24.32 that I want to receive from people via PayPal, VenMo, or possibly other means. If people choose to pay via PayPal, you've got absorb the fee if you want the assurance of insurance for paying for a good rather than friends and family. I must receive $24.32 per map after whatever associated costs there are. PM me, and I can give you payment addresses.

The second payment will have two, possibly three, parts. If I have to pay some customs and duties, then I will pass those along and will need to be reimbursed.. Second, I have to ship to you, so that's to be worked out. I usually do USPS first class, but if people want something different, then we can work that out too. Finally, if I have to pay for any containers, then that may be a third component. No tip requested or required.

My ballpark is no more than $45-$50 all in per map. Hopefully less. That being said, I am just looking to cover my out of pocket expenses. My time and effort is a labor of love to community to increase all of our enjoyment.

Please confirm, PM me, and let's get payment arranged to get these puppies to us!

Second, I have to ship to you, so that's to be worked out. I usually do USPS first class, but if people want something different, then we can work that out too. Finally, if I have to pay for any containers, then that may be a third component. No tip requested or required.

My ballpark is no more than $45-$50 all in per map. Hopefully less. That being said, I am just looking to cover my out of pocket expenses. My time and effort is a labor of love to community to increase all of our enjoyment.

Please confirm, PM me, and let's get payment arranged to get these puppies to us!

Lo demás lo tengo todo incluidos spin-offs

En total unas 2800 losetas  ^-^

Tengo de las dos ediciones y me gusta jugar con expansiones, pero no demasiadas a la vez, en su justa medida.
Lo que nunca me he animado es a participar en concurso y mira que en Gijón se juegan clasificatorias para los campeonatos.

Y quiero maaaaaas de este maravilloso juego  :o :black1-meeple: :white-meeple:

USA Roundup

Hi folks,

Let's get going on this USA order of the Taiwan maps

Here's who we've got:

> USA (15):
* USA West Coast (10):
   - Mikeagan (x1)  :(y)
   - Allograft (x8)  :(y)
   - TheDoctor_13 (x1)
* Colorado(1):
   - edarling (x1)  :(y)
* Wisconsin (1):
   - gamgeefan2 (x1)  :(y)
* USA East Coast (3):
   - ny1050220 (x1)  :(y)
   - Carlium (x1)  :(y)
   - MetalGearHorus / Horus (x1)  :(y)

Payment will come in two parts. First, people will pay to get it across the pond to me.

The above represents $328.67 in total or $21.91 per map not including Customs Duties or domestic shipping. Bear in mind, the Europe group was charged around €30 for the currency conversion, so we will take this into account ahead of time. For €30/15 maps is €2 per map. Given the current conversation rate from Google of 0.86 €/$, then that's an extra $2.32 per map. So, that would be $21.91 + $2.32 = $24.32 that I want to receive from people via PayPal, VenMo, or possibly other means. If people choose to pay via PayPal, you've got absorb the fee if you want the assurance of insurance for paying for a good rather than friends and family. I must receive $24.32 per map after whatever associated costs there are. PM me, and I can give you payment addresses.

The second payment will have two, possibly three, parts. If I have to pay some customs and duties, then I will pass those along and will need to be reimbursed.. Second, I have to ship to you, so that's to be worked out. I usually do USPS first class, but if people want something different, then we can work that out too. Finally, if I have to pay for any containers, then that may be a third component. No tip requested or required.

USA update. Maps are in the mail.

So, for the drama. The USPS at 22nd and Van Ness told me that the USPS on 24th and Castro had tubes with caps. I went to USPS on 24th today to mail things, and no tubes with caps. Apparently, they don't exist and no USPS sells tubes with caps. Nevertheless, I was able to get some boxes that fit the maps snugly, and I reinforced the packing with tape. While there would have been an option to get some tubes with caps delivered from Amazon, I'm leaving the country on Dec 9, not returning until Jan 7. So, people would have to have waited a long time in all likelihood.

I made an executive decision to just make it happen today. PM's with tracking to follow.

Ciao

Let me know who prefers to serve as distribution have for Europe: konrad2605 had voluteered first (top country), but now axelsson has the largest individual order.

The idea is to request the order sent to either of you. When you receive it, you would have to split the order, buy additional tubes/boxes to forward the corresponding lot of maps to one person per country who would distribute them to their final owners.

Who is the final volunteer? You will have to confirm the orders and collect the money to pay Swan Panasia and then a second round to ship the maps to each country.

I would need a PM with your the full address, email and phone number to send the request to Swan Panasia once it is decided.

Additionally, we would need to decide within each country who is the recipient and domestic distributor. I underline my proposal (first person with largest order).

We have 35 maps for second bulk order of Taiwan Maps:
* Germany (10): totor66, BigBoss, Lausitzer, ku61, konrad2605 (x3) , Zotto (x3)
* Finland (8 ): axelsson (x8)

It is licensed by HiG... It seems to be the result of one of the visits of Moritz Brunnhofer to Taiwan as commented here:
https://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=5447.msg79335#msg79335 (https://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=5447.msg79335#msg79335)

HiG haven't disclosed if they are going to sell it on Cundco. Smiling Monster, the Swan Panasia distributor based in Germany had no plans either. I asked them both before starting with the bulk orders. We re completely in the dark for the time being.

Post by: Meepledrone on December 15, 2021, 11:05:01 AM
I just got word from Swan Panasia about the 2nd bulk order to Europe:

The 37 maps delivered to Germany would cost: (37 * 500 TWD/Map + 4,700 TWD for shipping) = 23,200 TWD.

Assuming 1 TWD = 0,03184 EUR

The 37 maps delivered to Germany would cost: (37 * 15.92 EUR/Map + 149,65 EUR for shipping) = 768,69 EUR. Each map would be 20,78 EUR including shipping, but I would consider an extra 1 EUR due to currency conversion, as it was the case for the previous bulk oder.

On top of this, you will have to add:
* Customs Duties (if any - it was 6,59 EUR for Spain since the box was marked as non dutieable). Do we know if this is the same for Germany?
* Shipping to each country hub and final reciepient. This could be around 15 EUR (as far as I understood to Konrad2605) + additional cardboard boxes/tubes + final delivery if necessary. Please Konrad2605, correct me if I'm wrong.

We would need to confirm if you all agree about the costs.

Once we know everyone is onboard, we would nned to collect the money up front to cover Swan Panasia costs + ~5 EUR per map for possible extra costs = 26 EUR/map.

Wehn Konrad2605 has received the money, he would pay Swan Panasia and the maps would be shipped to him. Once he receives them, he would need to add have to reorganize the maps in separate shippings and get extra boxes as required for the new shippings. He would also get an estimation of the shipping costs to each country, send the packages and collect the money difference from each recipient. These recipients would manage the domestic distribution as required (additional shipping vs. delivery in hand and possible celebratory game... you name it ;)).

I don't know if all this detail is necessary at this point, but I just want to let you know all the intermediate steps required.

Any thoughts?

I don't know if there are customs fees.
But there is import VAT I assume 7% since they are cards.
Value of goods approx. 800 €+ customs duty (0%) 0€ + import tax (7%) 59,52€ = total 859,52 /37 Maps = 23,23€ /Map
Value of goods ca 800 €+ customs (7%) 56€ + import tax (7%) 59,52€ = total 915,52 /37 Maps = 24,74€ /Map
That's how I calculated it, but maybe someone knows better.
Otherwise we have to wait for the shipment.

Carton costs about 2€/stk
Shipping costs uninsured up to 2 kg 9,00€ insured 14€.
If the weight of several maps is over 5Kg then 16€ (Finland, Poland, Italy?)

Thanks. Ok for me. How can I pay? Is Paypal a viable option? Will we receive a PM from the guy in charge?

konrad2605 should answer this question.

We used Paypal but some people used a money transfer.

The payment to Swan Panasia is made by credit card.
Title: Re: Carcassonne maps: Taiwan
Post by: Meepledrone on December 16, 2021, 01:52:03 PM
I am ok as well.
Just to clarify, I will paid the shipping cost to Poland for all maps, and then manage it internally (split the inbound shipping + internal shipping)?

For the first bulk order, everyone sent the money directly to me: a part for Swan Panasia and an extra amount for Customs and shipping.

Then I returned or collected some money according to the final total cost including the shipping to the hubs. Each hub person would then collect some extra money for the final shipping as needed.

If you collect all the money for Poland, you could set some money apart for the domestic shipping and make one payment to konrad2605.

Any option can work as you see fit.

I like your approach more, as it leads to immediate exhange to EUR. If I would collect locally, and later transfer, the rate may change.

Serían como unos 26€ por mapa más en envío final desde Alemania (con los costes de importación estimados), que podría ser 14€ más.  En el pedido previo, estos costes se diluían entre todos los de un país, pero en tu caso no tienes con quién repartirlos.

I just got word from Swan Panasia about the 2nd bulk order to Europe:

The 37 maps delivered to Germany would cost: (37 * 500 TWD/Map + 4,700 TWD for shipping) = 23,200 TWD.

Assuming 1 TWD = 0,03184 EUR

The 37 maps delivered to Germany would cost: (37 * 15.92 EUR/Map + 149,65 EUR for shipping) = 768,69 EUR. Each map would be 20,78 EUR including shipping, but I would consider an extra 1 EUR due to currency conversion, as it was the case for the previous bulk oder.

On top of this, you will have to add:
* Customs Duties (if any - it was 6,59 EUR for Spain since the box was marked as non dutieable). Do we know if this is the same for Germany?
* Shipping to each country hub and final reciepient. This could be around 15 EUR (as far as I understood to Konrad2605) + additional cardboard boxes/tubes + final delivery if necessary. Please Konrad2605, correct me if I'm wrong.

We would need to confirm if you all agree about the costs.

The next step is that everyone sends the money to konrad2605 to proceed with the payment to Swan Panasia. He will provide his PayPal account by PM. If anyone needs another payment methid, please let him know.
In the case of Poland, ma_Rysia would collect all the money locally and make one payment for the maps to reduce currency fluctuations.

Besides, the people in Germany (if needed) and the hubs in each country should send him their full address, email and phone number for the courier service.
* totor66

* Lausitzer
* ku61
* Zotto
* axelsson

We already got the new quotation for one extra map (38 maps now). This means the shipping costs will be a little cheaper as the price increased 500 TWD for the additional map, but the shipping costs stay the same. ;D

As mentonied before, I will be outside of my apartment (due work obligations) in January this year, so I will not be able to redistribute maps in Poland during this time (picking them up should be fine).
Are somebody else fine to pick redistribution, or are you ok with possibly extended waiting time?

As mentonied before, I will be outside of my apartment (due work obligations) between 11th and 22th of January this year, so I will not be able to redistribute maps in Polabd during this time (picking them up should be fine).
Are somebody else fine to pick redistribution, or are you ok with possibly extended waiting time?

It will probably be a while before I can send them out.
I don't know yet what the situation is with customs and tax.
I'll have to wait to be notified and then pay before I can get the package.
I will let you know as soon as I have the package.

I have added it all up.
Each map came to 22€.
I will offset the rest with the postage and cardboard.
Will then send each intermediate sender and recipient a listing via PN and send the remaining money to the intermediate sender via paypal.
Since he also has postage costs to the members, he can then use it for that.

But I won't be able to send the maps until next week.

I might be late to the party, but is there still a possibility to order one Taiwan Map to Poland?

We would need more people from Europe to join.

We already had two bulk orders for Europe and one for the USA. ;D

Debating seeing if there is interest for a second USA batch. Thing is, I'm worried my partner will kill me for buying so much Carcassonne in so little time

You may find the rules here:

Read the basic rules and the ones for the Maps-Chips Taiwan... They are quite similar to the ones for Germany.

I feel so bad knowing that I missed that one out :'(
Dear Europeans, unite! I can't be the only one who overlooked that, there is still hope for us :D

We played the Taiwan map at the weekend. With 4 people. We had 2x the basic game and the 1st expansion.

Nice! ;D

Did you tried Map Chips too?
Title: Re: Carcassonne maps: Taiwan
Post by: konrad2605 on February 17, 2022, 08:29:44 AM
We had not tried the map chips.
We had only tried the map in general and it worked well.
As you can see, almost all fields are occupied.

Cundco has Taiwan maps de/en in their shop now.

Yep! ;D

And Swan Panasia has created their own version of the other seven maps... Adding names in Chinese, changing the font used to write "Carcassonne" and some other minor details...

Any thoughts? ;)

Check it, there is BigBox 5 with River III and Wheel of Fortune is offer!

The shipping cannot be combined with the maps and requires a separate box, what makes its shipping cost incredibly high.  :'(
 
Title: Re: Carcassonne maps: Taiwan
Post by: Willem on August 05, 2022, 01:50:50 AM
We checked, and a big box would cost around €150 with shipping I think
