This sounds more 'Settlers of Catan' to me! Perhaps it will be 'Carcassonne' mixed with 'Settlers of Catan'?  Hope so, they are my two favourite games. |

What gives you that impression? I'm not seeing anything that suggests a Catan influence.

Upon reading the General Description:
"In this Carcassonne game, players begin as the early settlers of the United States did on the east coast of America. As they explore westward, they build towns, farms, paths, and compete to score more points than the others players. As exploration moves to the west, players who are slow to complete the features they have started will find themselves left behind - with no points!"
I was immediately put in mind of a pre-defined board and then building your paths, towns and farms upon that board. Obviously there is no hint that trading within the description (so it is probably not 'Settlers'). Perhaps it is just how I read the description. Will it be tile laying or pre-defined board?

LCF = 57 + 3!!!
13 man on the field IS a penalty!!!!!(10 yards, automatic 1st down)
A match can never be ended on a defensive penalty!!!

Building towns, farms, and paths suggests tile-laying to me. It's possible that play could begin on one end of the table and progress towards the other, or it may just be figurative speech.

If that's an accurate representation of a tile image, we're in for a visual treat. If not, why must they tease us?

That was my thought too. I was even considering if I should steal those images for the "forest" tiles I'm making for (I think it was you,) Scott. We shall see. It has a July release date... |

Well, let's hope so. Whatever the mechanics of the game, if that is a representation of the graphics it will look stunning. |

Yeah, it was me. The images are nice, but not in the same style as original Carc. The forest tiles you've made so far blend very nicely with the original Carc tiles. |

BGG already has a review for this game as well as some images. There's a nice new look for the meeples of this game. Perhaps they could be modified for mega-carc or some weird new expansion... |

Well, looking at BGG, perhaps it has been released!
I like the artwork, not sure about gameplay as yet!

Interesting look. Nice graphics from those BGG photos. That scoreboard looks a bit big and is it attached to what would appear to be a fixed line to start from... hence the original descriptions of players move East to West.
OK guys - start looking for it!!
For my money, this one has more interest to it than the other 6th and 7th expansions as it's a complete new game rathe than another tweak of the old one... and it's starting to get out of control.
