Interesting... actually I have some magic beans for sale... Does it come on a tile with a road or a river?  |

Does it come on a tile with a road or a river? Perhaps you could design a special tile which includes a magic beanstalk... we can then play a new variant called 'The Giant of Carcassonne'. In it meeples disappear up a giant magic beanstalk for no apparent reason. They must remain out of play for 3 turns searching around for the Giant that lives at the top of the beanstalk. After the 3rd turn out of play the meeple is returned to the players supply. What's the point? I've no idea! I don't know what goes on at the top of magic beanstalks! Perhaps the Giant could chase them down and take prisoner other meeples? Or maybe a new set of tiles could be made depicting the top of the magic beanstalk... we could call it 'Cloud Cuckoo Land'. Of course, this expansion can only be played together with 'The Princess and the Dragon' ...which is another fairy land setting where magic beanstalks and giants would feel at home  |

So, are you gonna get it then??? I was just looking at this today... more like drooling over it. As I recently received my pink, purple, white and orange meeples from meeple people, my Carc box is filled to overflowing. I saw that they have designed a new box for Catan. I wonder if they will do the same to include the Catapult... |

Too bad Carc won't fit in a Catan box... or at least not as well. I'm still wondering if they will be making a new box after Catapult. I guess I should keep my eyes open until then.

Well, they won't know until they get Catapult I guess, so I doubt there's any point asking at this time.

So, I'm getting all messed up. Should I buy it or not?
I can't worry about expansions to come.If I think like that, I'll never buy that or an expanded box (even for a good catapult reason...).

It's a big investment, which is why I'm being cautious. But I don't think anyone can tell you whether you should buy it or not.

One can always build one oneself. Well - at least in theory!

Yes, Tobias. You've got a point there. I think I'll build it.
What I was really asking if it was worth the money buying it...

It depends on what's it's worth to you. I can't build anything, so I have to buy it.

Did you (or anyone else) end up buying one of these boxes?
I am thinking of getting one (based in UK so shipping costs not so much of a burden), was wondering if all my expansions will fit in?
Carcassonne with River I
Inns and Cathedrals
Traders and Builders
King and Scout
The Count of Carcassonne
The Cathars
The Princess and The Dragon
The River II
The Tower
The GQ11 expansion
Abbey and Mayor
Cult, Siege and Creativity
NB: I have no intention of buying the Catapult expansion.

I haven't bought the box and I was wondering if the meeples from A&M would fit into the slot for meeples. I decided to buy the Big Box 2 instead of this box since I wanted the watermark on the tiles, which would mean I'd get lots of spare tiles for customs, as well as the big box to hold everything (including the catapult and the tower) in.

There seems to be a "space" for meeples in the supplied velvet bags, can't see the few additions for A&M would make much dfference? Am I right in thinking that Big Box 2 doesn't have space in it for "The Tower" or have you removed the insert? I can see where you are coming from though as the Carcassonne Box and Big Box 2 are not far off the same price. However I have everything in the Big Box 2 (with watermarks) and dont need spare tiles as I only play the official expansions. Thanks |
