First scan of this expansion

Second scan...

And the last one.

Just received it today 

Does the 'catapult places' break farm? (relevant for two of the titles).

[Dagou]

I would say that the catapult does split the farm since it seems to count as a junction for roads.

Interesting watermark.  However the images seem a bit off to me, especially the yellow ground thing which doesn't seem to fit the usual Carcassonne artwork.  That's just me though.

[Joff]

I agree. The sandy area just does not work IMO.

[Dagou]

The watermark is the small dark green catapult that we see on each tile not the large catapult image?

The large catapult image (with the sand) seems part of the tile, as is a tower foundation from the Towers expansion.

[Joff]

The watermark is the small dark green catapult that we see on each tile not the large catapult image?

Yes, it is the small dark green catapult symbol. That is what is meant by the term 'watermark'. It is used for identifying which expansions are which. Pity RGG missed one on the Siege/Cult tiles!

[Novelty]

I like these watermarks.  They are smaller and not as intrusive.

BTW, HiG has the page now on their site: http://www.hans-im-glueck.de/177.0.html

You can view the german version of the rules there as well.

Heh, the have a picture of GK&K and the link to the tile separation sheets doesn't include a page for Catapult. Good job people at HiG.

[Scott]

Can somebody supply dimensions of:

• the wooden catapult
• catapult tokens
• measuring board

Thanks in advance!

I'm toying with the idea of making my own Carc Box. Even if the people behind the official Carc Box eventually redesign, overseas shipping is not guaranteed against damage which doesn't bode well with me.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooK, i dont want to be banned once again cuz of my heavy accent and my franc-parlé, but... this is the worse abbobination i EVER see in a game... the rules are far to be interesting, and founded. i also fear to think that they was out of ideas...

instead of launching one (*thing*) like that, they shall be planning to found a 2nd use to farmers, monks, even mayor... where i thinjk they are a bit to do to be 100% effiective & efficient.

i make some budds read the rulz and they was screaming and crying about the (*thing*) of this expansion.

So i will buy it, but i hope that Hig/RGG will be more inspired in futures sets cuz this is really dissapointing, it drown the top level of a great game to a wasted intension of comedy expansion like unglued in MtG.







(*thing*) = so censored, that even the toughest viking will be crying in the first overword in the maniacal sentense.

I think I agree with you Deatheux. It is indeed a terrible expansion.

[Deatheux]

I think I agree with you Deatheux. It is indeed a terrible expansion.

terrible is an excellent term!!  when i heard first of the catapult i was thinking that it works like the towers, to activate with a special piece, and will kick out from an opennes side of the city or cloister... with some wall tiles... but RGG waste it form the base... i feel disappointed!

[Novelty]

I should point out that this is a HiG expansion.  I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed, and I'm afraid that this may be the last Carc expansion we'll ever see...
