Great stuff, Whaleyland. So, if I'm understanding the pictures correctly, you can get the 'phantom' meeples two ways: in a pack by themselves or with the Celebration edition of the base game. Is that right? Edit: Ugh, now I'm thinking that the Celebration edition only comes with five colours... so if you want a sixth phantom meeple and the celebration tiles, you have to get both. Well played, HiG. Well played.  |

Oh, it gets more complex than that. MUCH more complex. The "Phantom" meeples of Entourage are considered normal meeples in the Anniversary Edition. What's worse is that each Entourage set comes in a different colored box with the six followers in it. Expanding that math out, you need to buy six different Entourage sets to get the six different colors. Then a new problem develops: you have 6 "Phantom" meeples of each color. SO, at that point you probably just want to buy one or two more Entourage sets just to bring that total to 7 or 8 – a complete set of meeples for the base game. Assuming, by that point, you want a complete set. Otherwise, you're just stuck with a butt-load of Phantom meeples you don't need. To make things even worse, if you HAVE to buy the Anniversary Edition AND all six colors of Entourage, you'll be stuck with a whopping 14 copies of each color meeple except purple/gray. Fun times!

Waaaaaaait, are you sure? Because it sure seemed to me like the Entourage sets contained one meeple of each colour, regardless of the case's colour. In fact, that's what the rules you translated read as:
"The entourage consists of 6 transparent phantoms in 6 colors. The purple phantom is for the gray player."

I wonder if you could purchase the feast tiles seperately as "spare parts" similar to the way they offer Crop Circles.

The Entourage DOES consist of one meeple of each color. Thus, if you buy six sets, you will have six of each color. Eight sets, eight of each color. I wonder if you could purchase the feast tiles seperately as "spare parts" similar to the way they offer Crop Circles.
Already on it. Sent an email to HiG yesterday morning. Haven't received a reply yet, but my fingers are crossed. |

Yeah, but you said: What's worse is that each Entourage set comes in a different colored box with the six followers in it. Expanding that math out, you need to buy six different Entourage sets to get the six different colors. That reads like you're saying each Entourage set comes with six meeples of one colour (e.g., six red, translucent meeples). I think we're getting our wires crossed. To me, it looks like if I want the Celebration tiles as well as one translucent meeple of each colour, I have to buy the Celebration edition and one Entourage set. |

Bed news for those of us who were hoping to snag The Party/Celebration without buying the new meeple-shaped Carcassonne box: Hello,
I`m sorry, but they are only availible in the new Box. But its not just a normal new box. It has new, beautiful Meeples inside and the Box has its own shape like a Meeple, so its a must have for a real CC-Fan.
Best regards,
Moritz Brunnhofer
Hans im Glück Verlag Looks like no spare-parts sale for this one like Crop Circles. I am almost certain Rio Grande will be the same way. Lame! I just hope the set doesn't cost too much and that I can find a buyer for my old Carc tiles. |

I have over 60 blank tiles I bought in Europe for fan-mades and I really don't like using actual printed tiles for that. No, I will just sell it to my sister and brother-in-law for $10 or something. Assuming all the tiles are the same as the normal version, they can have the new tiles minus the expansion as well as my Wheel of Fortune meeples. Unless they want the plastic meeples, that is, since I am still probably going to fork over a fortune to buy 6 of those meeple-shaped cases. |

Those meeple boxes cost about €4 each. So it's not going to be a real fortune  |

so its a must have for a real CC-Fan. I would say quite the opposite. A real Carcassonne-fan does not buy any more crap from anywhere. It is not Carcassonne anymore. |
