For your information, my copy was delivered this morning (i'm in UK).
Thanks for the info, I am still waiting for my copy (Live in Denmark, just next to germany). I was wondering one think, could theese titles be different from the ones in Cult, Siege & Creativity? According to http://www.riograndegames.com/games.html?id=280 there will be 6 (not 5) cult titles included. Just a thouth (or desperate hope). |

Yes, desperate hope. I hope there'll be an extra 6th tile as well, but somehow I don't forsee it. I think it's just a typo... someone should email Jay to see what he says... |

I must say that I did not think that the outer bag was well sealed at all. It was that easy peel adhesive strip that can be opened and resealed with absolute ease! Fortunately, mine arrived intact. |

Here is a cut and paste job of the rules provided for the Speilbox expansion: The Temple:
Add-on for Carcassonne
The 5 „Kultstätte” (Temple) land tiles are shuffled with the remaining land tiles.
The temple site is used and scored just like a cloister. When a player puts a follower on the temple, this follower is called a „heretic“.
Using the temple
A temple must not be placed directly next to one or more cloisters. A cloister must not be placed directly next to
one or more temples.
When a player puts a temple directly (horizontally, vertically or diagonally) next to another player’s cloister and
places a heretic on it, the heretic challenges the monk. The same applies when a monk is placed directly next to
another player’s temple. Challenging one’s own monk or heretic is also allowed.
Players placing a tile with a temple are also allowed to put a follower on the field, street or city instead of the temple.
The challenge
A challenge is about completing one’s own building first. The player completing his/her building first receives 9
points, the other receives nothing. Both followers return to their owners immediately even though the loser’s
building is not complete.
If a challenge is not resolved at the end of the game, both players receive the usual points as in the case of a cloister.Doesn't the first sentence contradict the one following, or am I missing something here? "A temple must not be placed directly next to one or more cloisters. A cloister must not be placed directly next to
one or more temples."
and
When a player puts a temple directly (horizontally, vertically or diagonally) next to another player’s cloister and
places a heretic on it, the heretic challenges the monk. The same applies when a monk is placed directly next to
another player’s temple. Or, does this mean that a 'temple' can only be placed next to an occupied cloister (and vice-versa) but not next to an unoccupied cloister (and vice-versa)? |

Call them, 1-866-607-6301 and ask about damage. Not sure if there is some kind of built-in insurance or anything. |

Probably a bad translation. As I recall from when Matt translated the German rules, the rule is that you can't have three or more cloisters/shrines/etc. all challenging each other. |

Yes, it's as Scott says. You can't place a temple next to more than one cloister and vice versa.

Received my copy today. It was slightly bent, but only one Stone Age tile was slightly damaged. Most of the bending happened between the tiles. Some of the articles look interesting, but I can't read German.  There are two articles about Carcassonne: one about the original game and another about I&C. The only thing available in English is the rules page for the two expansions, which is not included with the almanac but online at the following address: http://www.spielbox-magazin.de/pdf/higalme.pdf If one of the moderators thinks the link should be kept secret, they can remove it. IMHO it's not behind any authentication mechanism so it's freely available. Will be interesting to compare with RGG's translation. For those who have GK&K, how do the rules compare? Is it word for word? If the rules are even slightly different, do we have to consider this a separate expansion? I took a quick peek through the consolidated tile reference to see how many tiles have cloisters. Including all expansions, 12 plus 2 cathedrals and possibly 6 abbeys. I don't think it's entirely unreasonable to have more than five shrine/temple tiles because two sets might be more balanced. |
