Title: New World - More Info Post by: Wishmaster on July 10, 2007, 06:30:43 am This is very quick cos I'm at work...
Just spotted this, a bit more info about the new Carcassonne game - Sure there's more out there when have time to look. (sorry about long link!!) : http://www.funagain.com/control/product/~product_id=017804 (http://www.funagain.com/control/product/~product_id=017804) Title: Re: New World - More Info Post by: Wishmaster on July 16, 2007, 08:21:13 am Don't know if anyone else has seen more.... no one's replied here so I guess not!! Anyone has got more details of the new game I'd love to know. Especially any dates of a UK release. The only bit I've read is laying the tiles in an East to West direction...
Talking of new stuff, elswhere Crasher has mentioned the Travel Edition being close to release in the USA. Anyone know anything regards this in the UK or Europe. Hows it going to work? All I've heard is that it has a cloth bag that doubles for the scoreboard and Crasher talks about smaller Meeples. Anything else?

Ooh... shudder!! :) I was thinking that it may have smaller cards (goes hand in hand with possible smaller meeples), that fit into a grid like tray maybe. I'm guessing it's going to have some way of keeping things stable if you're on the move.

Hehe, yeah, that's the thing to have on trains ;) C on a magnetic board would be the shit! Title: Re: New World - More Info Post by: crasher on July 17, 2007, 01:02:37 am you'll have to magnetize it yourself. it's just smaller tilers and meeples. you can find some pictures on the geek.

I avoid The Geek as best I can :P Yeah, I know - but it would still be neat to have a magnetic board. Title: Re: New World - More Info Post by: Wishmaster on July 18, 2007, 11:31:03 am Just took a look on BGG at photos. A couple of things immediately bounced into the brain... If the only difference is the pieces are a little smaller then why bother? The box of the standard edition isn't exactly massive to carry around. Secondly, surely having the bag as the scoreboard defeats the object of the game being a travel edition? The fact you are on the move would mean it would make more sense to pull the tiles from the bag each turn... but you have to tip them all out else you can't have a scoreboard - doh!! Me most confuzzled!! ??? :o
