Kudo's to meeplesource! I placed an order for a full set of gold and purple Friday. Got them in the mail this morning, well packaged.
They also threw in two extra 'standard size' meeples in each color for me. Exactly the extra amount that I've added in the 6 standard colors and almost ordered from them but didn't. Thanks guys! One happy customer.

This may be a stupid question, but is there any reason you can't get one of the new colors and add it to the game to add a seventh (or eighth...) player? Or does Carcassonne only work well with up to 6 players?

you can have as many players as you have distinct meeples, you can if "you" like have teams and have two players with half the number, what changes is the dynamics of play
you get less tiles to play the more players so the features that earn you points changes the less goes the less chance you have to build big cities for example
some things dont stretch, you can buy a mayor but you might need to make extra abbeys.
in the end it's your game, try it, see if it works.

We've played several games with 8 players. I bought purple and orange sets from meeplesource. I bought an extra set of A&M to get more abbeys and barns and I painted the barns. When you add a couple of large expansions and a few CC expansions it quite easily balances the game back to a reasonable number of turns per player. We've had no trouble playing with 8 but you can expect the game to run a little longer than usual. |

Hmm... why do they make a Mayor, but not Abbeys? I don't have Abbey and Mayor yet, so it's moot now, but I'll definitely be getting that expansion at some point.

COol ^^ I ordered 3 sets in different colors, and asked for 1 more of every color in the standard game + the three I just bought. They gave me 1 meeple of every single color they sell! Not just the ones i asked for  They also gave me a pirate and a ninja for free!! Thanks Meeplesource! |

It would be nice if there were a source for some extra Abbey tiles, but I suppose the expansion isn't too expensive from amazon, so buying two is an option. |

You can order 'spare-parts' from the Hans-im-Glueck website. It's not easy, but cheap! I'm going to order 3 extra abbey tiles (and some other stuff) this week for the three new meeple colors i bought, so that we can play with up to nine players is we would want to do so. |

What he said... the only catch is that they will only ship to a European address. If you live there, no problem, otherwise you need to make a buddy like I did. I just need to get on that. |

Anyone have any ideas or leads on phantoms in all the extra meeplepeople colors??? I've only played with more then 6 plyers once so far and we had to keep an eye on the 2 yellow phantoms and who they belonged to as to not get them confused.

I plan on using glass beads for now.
Although, I wonder how hard it would be to cast them out of tinted acrylic resin. If I did it, I'd probably experiment with a replacement for the grey (purple) phantom.
