After a long period of apathy, i just uploaded a robust set of changes to my tuckbox set.  It should appear on BGG in a couple days!

Look forward to big version 3.0 which meets a lot of your requested updates!

Big Changes:
- after never-ending requests, I created a pair of tuckboxes for the original 72 card basic game.  The rules summary is split over the two 36 tile boxes.
- Added tuckboxes for Plague, Festival, Tunnels, Crop Circles and Bridges castles and Bazaars. (some of these newer expansions do not have a complete rules summary due to space constraints.)
- Greater consistency across all tuckboxes.  Revised text for several older boxes as well.

Great news! Don't forget to make boxes for the normal Wheel of Fortune tiles as well. I think with those, all my tiles would be boxed.

I have no plans to make a box for the Wheel of Fortune base game since I think it is silly. :-)

Everything else is complete though.  You are certainly welcome to make one for that expansion if you like.  I can send you the Powerpoint files for the base game if you want to start with that.

Because The Catapult is NOT silly?  :Smiley

The catapult is completely honest about what it is; a completely silly expansion with a small number of tiles, chits and a crappy catapult thing,.. and it's cost is proportionate to other expansions.

The Wheel claims to be a full game, but folks like us who are completeists want it as an expansion.  I don't want to buy a whole game for part of the contents. That said, I did make the tuckbox for the unique expansion tiles as I do see it as a valid Carcassonne expansion in the broader canon of work.

Just put a rubber band around the other tiles, you don't need them :-)

(my opinions are complementary, they aren't worth much...)

Thanks much to Tom for updating these tuckboxes.  They look great!

Great news! Don't forget to make boxes for the normal Wheel of Fortune tiles as well. I think with those, all my tiles would be boxed.
Whaleyland - I have made a "non-wheel tile" tuckbox for Wheel of Fortune, since I had the same issue you did.  I tried posting the pdf on here but was informed the file is too large.  Feel free to contact me if you still need that tuckbox, and I can email it to you, assuming that Tom is okay with me: 1) adapting his tuckbox design to make additional boxes, and 2) sharing those tuckboxes with the Carcassonne Central community.  My work on this tuckbox was minimal compared to the efforts put in by "henrysunset", and I hope I have properly conveyed my gratitude and acknowledgement of his efforts.

BTW - This is my first post, so I'm not sure of the proper protocol for sharing documents with the community.  If anyone else has an interest in this tuckbox, I would be happy to post it for all to use, if someone could direct me as to how I can do that.  I have thoroughly enjoyed this website for about a month now, and I hope to be able to contribute at least a little to all of the members who have enhanced my enjoyment of the game.
