Title: So where do the legalities stand on makeing/selling custom carc expansions? Post by: jcardwell3rd on April 07, 2011, 09:04:47 am I am not one to try to make tiles but i love some of the expansions you guys have created.
Are we not alowed to make/sell sets to one another? We are not remaking the regular or comertially available... I am interested in purchasing some of these custom expansions as long as the backs are perfect matches to the original tiles. (i dont draw from bags, we play with stacks.

Post by: djdahmer on April 07, 2011, 09:57:52 pm I recall a couple of discussions a while ago about this but couldn't remember where they were. A quick search came up with at least 2 topics you should probably read:
How Do You Make Your Own Tiles? (http://carcassonnecentral.com/forum/index.php?topic=89.0) (scroll to the bottom of page 1 & top of page 2) Selling fan-made tiles (http://carcassonnecentral.com/forum/index.php?topic=851.0) A lot depends on which country you're in & which country you're buying from, as in some countries it's considered ok as long as you're only charging for materials, labour & shipping whereas in other countries it would be illegal. It gets tricky if the images are original, but I think you'd probably be breaking the law if you were using images from the official games & expansions.

You'd have to know everything the companies have trademarked and copywritten. I can tell you in America, you'd get in trouble legally if caught. And using any of the images from the game would be illegal. So, I'd say selling is a big no-no.
