I've posted an invitation, but the game might be over by the time people see it.

Many of us ended up here because for us the rules of this game are serious business. The Complete Annotated Rules are the foundation of our community. Being named the official English language community by HiG came much later.

If I recall correctly, in German both features are called klosteren (plural form of kloster). The only difference is that the "klosteren in Deutschland" have the added ability to place a follower as an abbot. Theoretically you could house rule place abbots on regular cloisters too. That being said, I like the distinction of cloisters referring to the ones we've known and loved since 2000 and monasteries referring to what will hopefully become a series of regional mini-expansions.

I can see how this might be confusing to some people. I also see what kettlefish sees, that the rules contain the answer already. The CAR is a translation of the German rules; changing the text of the rules for "clarity" is part of the reason why the "official" English translations end up being different from the original German. A footnote is the best solution, which obervet has done.

I seem to recall that a shrine can't challenge an abbey, but I can't prove it.

Yes, I may be terrible at visiting the forums regularly, but I post on the Facebook page almost every day (excepting days where there is nothing to post about).
I would be happy to link to a live match, but I'm not sure that I will know about the live match fast enough since I have trouble finding time to visit the forums. I check my e-mail several times per day, so maybe somebody needs to e-mail me a link and when the game will take place?

The reply was that they had people internally who would do their own translation. We know how well that turned out for them.

Z-Man Games will be at Booth #813, but it doesn't look like anything from the world of Carcassonne will be featured in any sort of prominence.

I agree that Matt deserves a ton of credit for all his work. At least we are getting some publicity.

Yes, when they first received the contract I wrote to Kalinda to let her know about our work here.

I just had a thought which doesn't appear to be addressed yet. We know that gaps in the landscape can block an abbot, but what about other monasteries? If I play an abbot in the same row or column as another player's abbot, when we score at the end of the game do we score through each other's monastery or do they block each other?

Whoever is doing the translations over at ZMG is going to keep us in business for a long time.

I thought the last round of answers from HiG had finally cleared that up? I seem to recall reading that Georg agreed that the intent of the rule is that the mage and witch figures must move to different features.
I laughed when I read the idea of using a thumbs-down icon for translation errors. I hope that it would not cause anyone at ZMG to feel offended.
I agree with Carcking regarding the current layout: it works well.

Congrats to everyone involved on helping to reach this milestone! New expansions are missing from cover image.
