Title: Tower Watermarks? Post by: Chromium_Man on April 23, 2009, 09:47:47 pm I'm new to Carcassonne. I just bought it two weeks ago on the advice of a trusted friend and I've been blown away by both the game and the community. I ended up picking up Big Box 2 and now I'm considering picking up The Tower and Cult, Siege, and Creativity to round out my sets (I'll probably skip Catapult).
Anyway, my question is: to the newer printings of Tower and CS&C have watermarks on them? If so, is there a way to tell from the box if it's a newer or older printing. Thanks in advance. Title: Re: Tower Watermarks? Post by: CKorfmann on April 23, 2009, 11:44:59 pm I can only answer part of your question. The Tower set I just bought does have a water mark on it. Unfortunately, I can't tell you how to identify it from the box. The CS&C set I got did not have a water mark, but it wasn't really necessary. The four siege tiles are unique and the shrine tiles from the big box have a water mark, so you can differentiate them from the ones in the mini-expansion that don't. That's how I tell them apart.
The Catapult is worthwhile if only for a few unique tiles. I don't mind playing with it at all, it can be fun. There is a fan-made expansion here that uses the tiles without the catapult itself. It's called The Jester and the Minstrel and it is available in the public downloads HERE (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=49&Itemid=62) (along with a bunch of other great expansions). It adds only two neutral meeples and looks like fun. I hope that helps a little bit. :) |
