French Inns & Cathedrals extension?
« on: August 09, 2015, 06:05:32 AM »
Hi, I'm new and would appreciate seasoned Carcasonners' help.
I've just purchased the Filosofia Inns & Cathedrals extension to play with the latest edition basic game. Will it work ok? There seem to be no English ones available on the planet.

Thanks
Liz

Hi Liz,

When you say 'latest edition base game', do you still mean the base game in the original artwork? If so, then yes, it will work. My collection is made up of expansions from lots of different publishers including Filosofia. Because the game is language-independent (except for the original Wheel of Fortune), you can mix and match expansions from different publishers without any problems. You'll obviously receive the French rules for Inns and Cathedrals, but we have the Complete Annotated Rules in English available for downloading.

If you mean that you have the new artwork for the base game but the expansion is in the old artwork ... well, then whether or not it 'works' depends on your personal point of view. You can still play them together because the tile backs are the same, but there will be a clash of artwork.

Welcome to forum Liz; the new art work for expansions hasn't been announced in English yet. I imagine it can't be far behind. No doubt the artwork will match between French and English.  And the CAR jungleboy mentioned will have the English rules.

Hope that helps you out :)

Thanks again. My husband Phil and I ( we are Phil and Liz England  ???) are off to Minervois in a couple of weeks (about 25 km from Carcasonne) and wanted a good 2 person game to play. We're already addicted.
