Matt,
I stumbled upon this today in the V5.0B9.
Page 96. Step 9.C.
"If a crop circle was on the tile placed, the active player whether all players now"
The word "chooses" or "decides", or something similar, is missing between "player" and "whether".
Thought you'd like to know.

Sooo! Do we have a final version 5.0 yet? I know we made a bunch of progress on it back in February, but now that the anniversary expansions are out and nothing new has been announced for later this year, could we get a final draft of the current rules out? Just so I have something to waste my printer ink on if nothing else.  |

Definitely a on my to do list, but it's chaos at work right now. I didn't yet find a copy of 'The Phantom' yet though (must check amazon again...)
Will get down to it soon, I promise.

The CAR PDF doc is perfect for my iPad! It loads right into iBooks - no printing necessary and the entire CAR can come with me everywhere :-)

I can transcribe the postage stamp sized rule sheet if you want? |

Found one error in CAR:
page 80, rules describing castles
"it is not sufficient for one of the nine tiles surrounding the cloister to be adjacent."
But cloister is surrounded only by eight tiles.

Any word on 5.0?
I have an idea for printing it, but I wanted to wait until 5.0 came out. I'll throw this out, that I would be happy to do some basic work on it if need be.
THANKS!!
Josh

I also want to print and bind version 5.0. Since apparently there is one last 2011 10th Anniversary release — The School — could we get that added to the mix and get this edition finalized and posted? It's been waiting for far too long and seems so near completion. Matt, what do you say? You wanted this version out in 2011. Let's get it done!

I actually prefer the v4.0 format better better.
a. It is more concise listing the rules first with graphical examples, then the footnotes & Faq after.
b. The layout is easier to comprehend showing both text and example in one page (similar to carcassonne official rule format)
c. rules are as much as possible explained in a single page if possible.
The v4.0 actually is currently the rule book I use.
Its format does not deviate much from the official format, has improved text explaining the rules better. And adds a faq section! Kudos to Matthew for taking the time to do this for us. I will also like to use this opportunity to say "Thank you".
v5.0b9 to my opinion is not as good as v4.0
a. rules, then footnotes, then rules again, then footnotes. This format to my opinion is more confusing.
b. layout does not show text and example in a single page which becomes harder to comprehend.
example.
v4 inns and cathedral rules explained in 2 pages, while v5.0b9 uses 3 pages
v4 traders and builders rules explained in 3 pages, while v5.0b9 uses 5 pages.
etc.
In a nutshell, the v4.0 has superior formatting for being concise and clear.
While the v5.0 is more printer friendly due to the white background (v4.0 has a blue one which consumes more blue ink). My wish, if v5.0 format and layout can be made similar to v4.0 it would be perfect.

I personally prefer having the footnotes on the same page as the text they apply to. Flipping back and forth doesn't make sense to me.
