Ha ha, don't think I can afford to make a 4,000 mile trip to Germany right now...

Winter Edition is exclusively availlable in germany at Müller Shop and later @cundco.

Does anyone have any guesses when the Winter Edition will be available at cundco?  I'm anxious to order all the other new stuff, but with the high cost of shipping to the U.S.A. I'd like to make just one big order.

I've been thoroughly satisfied with the four 19-piece sets (in purple, grey, orange and white) I've ordered from this ebay seller:

I recently played 8 with the 2014 Big Box, and despite half of them being newbies, we all enjoyed it.  Hoping for a 10 person new-art game in the near future!

Unofficial Rules / Whirlwind (portal) into a Besieged City?

« on: July 17, 2020, 02:42:26 PM »

Please excuse my ignorance, but I was playing Ark of the Covenant with fan-made expansions The Great Whirlwind and The Walls of Jericho (by the way, great job, Scott!  Also love the Jordan River!).  Anyway I besieged my opponent's city, whereupon he immediately lost his prophet.  Would it be possible for either of us to whirlwind back into the city at a later point to finish then claim the city points (albeit at half value)?  I would imagine this question would also apply to Cathars and Portals in the original version.
 Thanks for any clarification.  Loving the wonderful world of Carcassonne and its awesome community!

Hi!  Thanks for responding!  I was a little leery on the Chinese one too, so I'm trying the Fun Toy Shop.  Price with shipping was $38, which seems pretty reasonable.  Crossing my fingers that I get it in the promised 7-10 days!

General / Winter Edition

« on: April 21, 2020, 11:59:56 AM »

I recently bought the Carcassonne Big Box and liked it so much that I'm trying to get all the related games that I can find.  I picked up the newer expansions, but the older ones are proving a challenge.  In particular, the Winter Edition, which looks awesome, is currently priced at over $129 on Amazon and eBay.  However, I also see it for about $30 on the websites DHgate and Fun Toy Shop.  Does anybody know if these are legitimate/reliable websites?  I'd really like to pick up the game but not at the expense of my online/financial security.  Thanks for any help you all can give!  Really liking Carcassonne Central and looking forward to adding some fan expansions soon!
