You may want to take a look at this PC game. Not Mars but it is a space station and plays extremely well. You can download the demo to try it.

Thanks for the plug! I didn't know this site existed until I started getting some traffic from here. Carcassonne was certainly my inspiration for Xeno Sola. I love the Xbox 360 version of the game. One day I'd like to make a new Carcassonne style game with the lessons I learned from the first one. Smiley

Who reckons that all of the members of this site should get together and develop an official 'Carcassonne Central Large Expansion'?
That would be cool, everyone could contribute and help to develop it so it has a wider range of influence? It could be the CC 2009 goal...

that would be so awesome! Group huggle

But we have the fan-made expansions made by ourselves!

Yeah, I know, but a big one that everyone could work on together, not just a few people...

There's nothing stopping anyone from starting that initiative.  It's not going to be me though, because I've got other things lined up, but I don't mind contributing if that's really needed...

I'm not against a mega-members expansion, but lots of people means lot of trouble.

saddly, carcassonne is a great game to mess it up with a maximum of players(and expansions), the few players games are a bit predictables and redundant.

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!!!

That's what attracted me on Carc: it's never the same game. Now with all these expansions, even better!

Welcome to our little corner of the web, Chris. Looks like a good game, the graphics are awesome!

Thanks Gantry.

Are people adding new ways to score with the expansions? I've seen forests and lakes and the like. But are there, say, new structures that can be scored on such as the roads, castles, and cathedrals? I came up with one new type in my game, but I'm curious what's already out there as my exposure to Carcassonne is 100% just through the Xbox right now.

@xenoclone: Many of us here have been developing our own expansions. The finished ones are available in the downloads section of this web site. The unfinished ones are being worked on the Variant Workshop forum.

@Deatheux: If HiG announces another expansion, somebody will post about it in a new thread. This thread is more for wishing what you'd like to see.

Xenoclone:  My favourite new way to score is probably Gold Mines.  Treasure Hunt is another good one, and the Jousting Tournament is another favourite of mine.  You can have a look at all these and more at Carcassonne Central download page (click me).  [BTW, That "click me" in the last sentence is for people like Deatheux who seem to have trouble noticing blue links on a light bluish-grey background.]

There are also some fan-made stuff in development.  For example, I'm currently working on a fan-made expansion that gives players points for successfully hunting down the dragon.  I'm still waiting for my extra meeples though... so I can't playtest it.  All fan-made expansions in development can be found in the Variant Workshop forum

Deatheux: If there is news of a new expansion, it will be posted in the "News and Events" forum and not here in the General forum.  As Scott said, this thread is about things that you wish for in the new expansion.  Also, from past experience, HiG announces an expansion about 2 months before release.  RGG announces it about 6 months.  HiG usually hold things back until Essen in October, so the announcements usually come in August.  RGG is a bit flexible and does have regular news update on their sites.  The latest one is here (click me).  They haven't announced any Carcassonne expansions for the first half of the year, but note that there are 3 HiG products to be shown in Nuremberg (Toy Fair) which will be shown (not released) in February.  So February will probably be a good time to find out news.  But please do note that HiG has other games besides Carcassonne, so the February news may not be Carcassonne related.
