Was to be expected. Lets hope its a nice expansion, hopefully its worth considering it
Ignoring the new art for a second but I find the yellow blob unattractive, maybe even plain ugly..
I like the new meeple. I don't like what appears to be flattened crop circles. So I can see 18 new tiles. That puts it at the Inns & Cathedrals size.
I can see 20 new tiles
Here's a photo showing some of the contents (from BGG)
Carcassonne: Manege frei! consists of twenty landscape tiles that are mixed with whatever assortment of tiles you're using, along with one wooden tent, one ringmaster figure in six different colors, and 16 animal tokens. During set-up, shuffle the animal tokens — which are mostly numbered 3-6, along with a single 1 and single 7 — face down and leave them on the side. Give each player a ringmaster figure along with their other meeples.
Whenever you draw a tent tile, place it on the board legally, then place a face-down animal token on this tile without looking at it. Place the wooden tent on top of this token to make it easy for others to spot where the circus is currently taking place. When another tent tile is drawn, place a new face-down token on this tile, move the tent, then reveal the token just exposed. Each player with a meeple on that tile or any of the eight surrounding tiles scores the listed number of points for each such meeple. Whenever you draw a pyramid tile, place it on the board legally, then choose whether you want to place a meeple on one of the two spaces. A player who places any subsequent tile in one of the eight surrounding spaces can either place a meeple on that newly-placed tile as usual or place a meeple on the pyramid tile. When the third such meeple is placed on this space — thus forming a pyramid of acrobats — all three meeples are returned to their owners, who score 5 points for each acrobat returned.Finally, you can place your ringmaster on a tile as if it were a knight, robber or monk, and when that feature is scored, you receive both the points for the road, city or cloister as usual, along with a 2-point bonus for each circus tile in the eight surrounding spaces.
- leaves us to the pyramid-forming acrobats...well, honestly I like the stacking-aspect of the meeples and it's the only renewing aspect of this expansion. But what if someone has two meeples in the pyramid? Is there a majority rule in that case?
