Conquering the world...One tile at a time.

Hello all! After about 2 years worth of creations, at least for now, I'm willing to say that my Carcassonne collection is complete. Along with all of my expansions, I have created a new Randomizer deck of cards used to help choose which expansions should be played with. My creations also include some new expansions yet to be revealed to this site. Along with this, I've tweaked and repackaged some of my favorite expansions from other's on this site and added them to my collection. I thought it might be fun to showcase all of the expansions that I own, one by one, and reveal the newly created cards from my Randomizer deck. Rules and descriptions of some of these will come in due time, but for now, I present to you my collection! PS. Thanks to everyone on this site for showing interest in my creations and helping to create excitement for them. It truly helped drive me to create so many. Randomizer Deck Expansion #1 Expansion #2 Expansion #3 Expansion #4 Expansion #5 Expansion #6 Expansion #7 Expansion #8 Expansion #9 Expansion #10 Expansion #11 Expansion #12 Expansion #13 Expansion #14 Expansion #15 Expansion #16 Expansion #17 Expansion #18 Expansion #19 Expansion #20 Expansion #21 Expansion #22 Expansion #23 Expansion #24 Expansion #25 Expansion #26 Expansion #27 Expansion #28 Expansion #29 Expansion #30 Expansion #31 Expansion #32 Expansion #33 Expansion #34 Expansion #35 Expansion #36 Expansion #37 Expansion #38 Expansion #39 Expansion #40 Expansion #41 Expansion #42 Expansion #43 Expansion #44 Expansion #45 Expansion #46 Expansion #47 Expansion #48

Awesome JP! Are you planning on putting these cards up on Artscow? Can you take requests for cards to include in the deck?

Thanks! And yes, putting them on Artscow is ultimately going to happen. In fact, I already have my own deck printed from there. I'll release that link, in due time!

JPutt927, Love this idea, especially since you will incorporate your own amazing fan expansions! The artwork is superb, as always. Here are two variations of the idea from BoardGameGeek, which make cards for each "mechanic" from the expansions: Carcassonne Expansion Selector Cards http://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/68071/carcassonne-expansion-selector-cards http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/665462/carcassonne-expansion-selector-cardsOne version provides a rules summary. These may be available on ArtsCow, too. Many, however, will prefer your version, which keeps the expansions intact. Cheers, CARC_Zoner

JP - just curious. Are you planning on adding a brief synopsis of the scoring rules on the cards? I like the good idea of leaving the drawn selector cards displayed on the board as a reminder and quick rule reference during play.

With the randomizer deck, no, I was not planning on including a rule synopsis. However, I have been tossing around the idea of creating a similar deck which did include a rundown of the rules and scoring for each expansion. It could be a lengthy process, but I think it could be quite useful. So yea, good idea!

Definitely nice cards and idea. I may go ahead and ArtCow these when the file is posted. My only critiques thus far are with the River and Siege cards. River's icon looks awesome, but should be made to look a little rougher like icons. Right now, it seems to...clean. Siege looks great and I love the use of the Cathars icon, I just don't like the shadow behind it. It's the only icon with a shadow in the series and I think I'd prefer it without. Otherwise, great work and I look forward to seeing the remaining cards. Don't forget River II and the Games Quarterly expansions!

Thanks for the comments guys. Before I post the link, it is likely I will make a GQ #11 card, and a separate River 2 card. However, as I stated, these are the cards that pertain to my collection. I do not own the GQ #11 expansion, nor do I have any real intention of doing so. Also, when I play, I combine the river expansions into one, as I find it silly to play with one, and not the other! But alas, those wouldn't be too hard to make!

Just for an update, with 24 expansions posted thus far, the collection is just over halfway complete! There's plenty more to come! Hopefully you guys enjoy checking these out as much as I enjoy posting 'em.

I think these are simply brilliant. I like the clean simple look.
I was wondering if you thought of creating these with a bit more granularity. For instance, if a player owns the Abbey & Mayor, they may only play with some of the rules and options contained in that expansion. Such as... ...Barn Meeple ...Abbey Tile ...Wagon Meeple
Taking this concept further, here is a list off the top of my head of options that players may select or randomize for various ways to play Carcassonne:
...Mega Meeple ...Mayor Meeple ...Pig Meeple ...Barn Meeple ...Builder Meeple ...Wagon Meeple ...Abbey Tile ...The Tower ...Dragon ...Fairy ...Princess ...Cult Places ...Cathars ...Plague ...Festival ...The Wheel ...The River ...The River II ...Count of Carcassonne ...Trade Goods ...Bridge ...Pig Farm ...Magic Portal ...Inns ...Cathedrals ...Tunnels ...Bazaars ...Siege ...Castles ...King & Robber
My wife and I play with a set of selector cards. No artwork though, and we use them to each pick a number of options to play with or randomly select.
Again, I think your artwork is awesome and appreciate the time & effort you put into your work. Matt

Hopefully you guys enjoy checking these out as much as I enjoy posting 'em. Just want to say these cards are awesome. And I do enjoy seeing the new one each day. If you do end up adding GQ11 and R2 cards, will you also add a card for 'Count, King and Cult' as a whole (for those who have either the german version or the big box), or 'Corn Circles, Plague and Tunnels'?

. Yes you do. And get ready, there's several more to come. And also, some of the others are not what you may think they are. In what may or may not be a popular decision around here, I've redone some of the existing expansions and put my personal touch on them (don't worry, I'll give proper credit) . Others are similar by name only. Once my collection is shown in full, more details on the specifics will emerge, so stay tuned! And, btw, if you'd like to see a picture of my collection, check out this topic... http://carcassonnecentral.com/forum/index.php?topic=743.0
