I have confirmed that a new expansion is being released via my sources but no further details are known at this time (even by the publisher).

It's official Carcassonne: “Abbey and Mayor” will be released at Essen! No words on mechanics, let the speculating begin.

What's/When's Essen in English? Title sounds inkeeping with previous titles. I guess I'll have to learn how to play The Tower pretty quick then if anothers expansions on the way! |

Did a bit of searching, and found that the new expansion is available for pre-order at Amamzon.de - click here to check it out. Price seems to be in line with the previous expansions, and it says it should be available 15 October. No pics, but one thing is interesting: it's listed as the "Erwachsenen Version", which I think transates to "adult version".  Wonder what that implies? Speculate away!!! |

Maybe "Abbey" is the name of the Mayor's lover...  |

Maybe "Abbey" is the name of the Mayor's lover...  Well, that would expain the Adult rating! I'll take a guess on the Abbeys: Abbeys are like Cloisters but score more points (like maybe 12), except that if you don't complete them by completely surrounding them, they score no points. The mayor? Hmmm, not so sure about that one... |

Anyone got any new updates on this yet ? I have looked everywhere and apart from some no-descriptive references and the german amazon bit above there is nothing.

It is on the list to appear at Essen 2007 and due for release in October. A preliminary box cover possibly? I had a friend pre-order it in Germany for me |

I found a description in German at this link to go along with the picture posted by EcoGuy: "12 Neue Holzteile und 18 neue Plättchen bringen interessante neue Möglichkeiten. So kann z.B. mit dem Bauernhof die Wiese schon im Verlauf des Spiels gewertet werden. Mit der Abtei gibt´s die Möglichkeit, alle benachtbarten Flächen abzuschließen und zu werten" So, 12 new wooden pieces (meeples of some sort?) and 18 new tiles. Hmm... assuming a max of 6 players, that could mean 2 new meeples per player - a mayor and... what? I can't remember enough German to translate the rest of the description - can anyone else take a crack at it? |
