Shame of the K on the back haha
thanks decar:)
Does that mean you're out SRBO? - don't want to miss anyone off the list  The way I look at it - if I order WoF too I've got enough K backed tiles and with the Tile Dispenser coming from Basically Wooden, there's no sneak peaking

BabyGamer 89 : Decar 133   My first game with BabyGammer and it was a very fun game; the start was very crazy - Cloister with Road; CCCC; Cloister. I started off with a small city but BabyGamer went for an enormous super City, I quickly joined in worried I couldn't trap it and to watch it grow ever larger. BabyGamer also built a highway; which I thankfully blocked and I got lucky and drew the last crcr card! I was able to complete a moderate city with a Cathedral too for 21 points and did a nice bit of cloistering near the end. I was a tad annoyed i miscounted the moves, I could have placed another follower down. All in all a fun, and slightly chaotic game! Thanks a lot Baby Gamer, I look forward to our next !

Not used them before - Looks like you can get The Count/Tower for £30 delivered (+ VAT); so seems to come to about the same. http://ozonru.eu/catalog/toys/1331368/

Currently Russian Count Costs ~ £15 per box. When I checked it cost £37 (+ possible VAT) to deliver one box to the UK. When I ordered 3, Postage + VAT came to £18 per box. Postage inside the UK + £3 per box. So my last order came to £36 per box.  Hopefully people on this thread will group together to reduce their costs.  Boxes contain: 18 Tiles for The Tower + the tower 30 Tiles for Princess and Dragon 1 City of Carcassonne Tile 12 The River 1 Tiles 5 Shine Tiles 6 Crop Circle 1 Tiles ---- Total: 72 tiles.

I've had many people ask me how to get hold of The Russian Carcassonne Tiles:    Given the very expensive postage (and VAT charges), it's definitely cheaper to consolidate orders. I may be ordering again soon so: If you're interested - please let me know plus which Country you're from and I'll investigate how much it will all cost; or what the cheapest approach will be. You may also want to consider: Russian versions of: Hunters & Gatherers, The Castle and Wheel of Fortune. Interested Parties:Decar - WoF - UK Guy - Carcassone City- UK Ratz65 - Carcassonne City - Germany ---- SRBO- Carcassonne City -Netherlands Khonnor - Carcassonne City - Netherlands

The example shows a Road running between two castles - Blue scores 10 points - (4 points for the road and 2 x 3 points for the Castles).
Not sure what happens if the Road starts and ends at the same Castle.

Again thanks kettlefish, I had not considered how it could be interpreted by non-native players; and though it is a common usage, I agree that it is clearer to be very explicit. I have changed 'they' to 'the player'. I hope that's ok. Edit: I've also been explicit about placing a Meeple. I'll leave it a little longer for improvements, but will create a English Version of the PDF tomorrow. Thay might be right, but many of our users are not native speaking English.
I read it in plural, and at Carcassonne it should come a time with an expansion when all players can place a meeple at the same time on the same landscape tile...
I think we still have some examples - I remember one example:
- The Count of Carcassonne...

Thanks kettlefish - I made a mess of that sentence.
I've just included descriptions of the Castles too. Very cool. I have to say the artwork looks even better up close.
Should I change the text to read Follower rather than Meeple?
I have 2 rule questions: Are Lords of Castles immune to being eaten by Dragons or captured by Towers?

I just noticed that the Castle Symbol on the tiles doesn't match those in the rules!

Instead of a Landshaftsplattchen to draw and create, the player may make one of his castles. It should be noted that a Burgplattchen may NOT rest against, directly or corner to corner another Burgplattchen . The usual rules when creating Landshaftplattchen apply.
1. Placing land tiles
Instead of drawing and placing a landscape tile the player may choose one of his castles. It should be noted that a castle tile may NOT touch another castle tile directly or corner to corner (diagonal). The usual rules for placement of landscape tiles apply.
Thanks Kettlefish - I rushed it a bit - I've gone through a tidied it up some more; Thanks

I've quickly translated the rules below:
Castles in Germany
This mini-expansion with 6-known castles from Germany allows each player to become Lords or Ladies naturally.
Setting Up
Each player takes a Castle of choice (with 2 or 3 players, each player can take 2 castles tiles). Alternatively, a player mixes the castles and assigns 1 or 2 castles to each player. The players then place their Castles in front of them. This expansion is designed for the basic game Carcassonne whose rules remain in place! The changes and exceptions, we will show you now:
1. Landscape tiles
Instead of drawing and placing a landscape tile the player may choose one of his castles. It should be noted that a castle tile may NOT touch another castle tile directly or corner to corner (diagonal). The usual rules for placement of landscape tiles apply.
2. Placing a Meeple
After the player has placed their castle, this player may place one of their Meeple (like usual) onto this tile. The player may place their Meeple onto a road, a city, a field, or as a lord / lady of the castle when placed onto the Castle.
3. Triggering a Score
Evaluation of a finished castle
A castle is evaluated in the same manner as a Cloister. Once it is completely surrounded by tiles, the Lord of the Castle will get 12 points and the player takes their Meeple, as usual, back into their reserve.
At the end of the game, all tiles in the vicinity of an unfinished castle score 1 point. The Castle Tile itself, scores 2 points.
Ratings of Roads and cities around the castle.
If a road or a complete city that ends (or starts) on the Castle tile, those players get a bonus to their usual points. Each participating player scores 3 bonus points per participating Castle.
It does not matter whether the castles are occupied or not.
The Castles in Detail
