At BGG answered Christof Tisch the open question.
His answer is official.

Here is the link.

Carcassowned-when another player takes control of or wins your city or other feature using great tile placement.

What do other people refer to this move as (I mean more the process of trying to do it, whether it's successful or not)? We have been saying 'sneak attack.'

I have a fairly basic strategy question (as a newcomer to the game) that might lead to some good answers:

When using the big meeple from Inns & Cathedrals, do you prefer to hold it in reserve so you can try to take over someone's farm/city later in the game, or use it early on to shore up a farm/city of your own as a way to deter other players from sneaking in on your feature? Or something completely different?

I've just received word from Z-Man Games that they will not be publishing this expansion because the Spielbox stuff is not included in their partnership agreement.

What non-spielbox expansions are there they might still get to us?

Corn Circles 1
Windrose (once its out in 2013)

Any more? Probably not enough for a boxed compilation...but just right for a unique extra small expansion.

Oh...La Porxada and The School also.

* I Need Closure - This is also a benefit (see below), but the ability to frequently and continuously clone and open roads, scoring the same route time and again, is seriously bugging out my Carcassonne sense. SERIOUSLY! We (two-player game) scored one segment of road at least five times because the route kept opening up. Definitely a weird experience.

* Closure's Overrated - Despite my previous comment, the fact that roads can open and close again is truly an awesome mechanic. I'm amazed it hadn't been thought of earlier. And with each re-opening of the route, it was worth more...and more...and more. Mix this in with Inns & Cathedrals any day!

Again, Whaleyland, great review - and I agree with all of it. This one is my favorite of all the Minis.

I am glad to say that we developed the re-opening and re-scoring mechanic in my Stone Walls. It's one of the aspects of that fanspansion that we really enjoy. And it was done well prior to the Minis coming out. I was well pleased to see the mechanic presented in this Mini - and it's that mechanic that makes it my favorite. �

Thank you for those details it shall be very helpful as we decide what size to make our custom made meeple bags.

And that limit of 2 is slightly annoying because i can't afford the $25 postage to Australia 3 times! But well done on getting them
I've placed an order for 2 along with many other things

Thanks for another great review and agree that this is one of the best of the 6. May I suggest that the ferries act like a road block....in that you can only move the one(or ones) connected directly to the piece you placed. This is what it means by nearest...the nearest in a series of ferries.

To get the grey and the black ones, i painted two spare bags with setacolor fabric paint.

Well done - they are very convincing!

When you ordered at CundCo were you able to specify what color bags you wanted? I didn't see the option. It feels like you might buy 6 of The School expansions and get 6 blue bags...or some such.

No, I did not be able to specify comments in my order but I wrote a comment in my paypal money order. I dont know if it worked of only was a lucky strike . I ordered with differents accounts (mine, brother and girlfriend) because you can only order 2 per account.

Wow this is amazing work!! May I ask what the dimensions (size) are of those meeple bags. And how many meeples do have in each one. Do you think you can fit 16 meeples in one bag?

I can fit all the 16 Meeples in each bag. I dont have the bags in my hands now, but their measures are 10 cm x 7 cm aprox.
