What if a new "Expansion" is an accessory pack?

[kjamma4]

Would an accessory pack sell? By that I mean something that does not add new rules to the game but is simply material to enhance the game. How about a pack with:

- Expanded scoring cards similar to those in I&C but in 150/200 denomination
- A scoring track for the longest road/largest city to use with King and Robber Baron including two wood markers
- Three tiles (like the King and Robber Baron) to indicate Wine/Cloth/Wheat Trader. These would be used when one player has an absolute lock on the individual markets.

Not a bad idea at all.

That wouldn't be an expansion because it wouldn't expand a thing. It would be just it: Accessories, like extra meeples, for instance.

Agreed - that is why I put the word Expansion in quotes.

How about a replacement 'crcr' tile for those using the seperate expansion of 'Inns and Cathedrals' as opposed to the Big Box?

If you have a seperate I&C expansion, this is the tile:


If you are using the I&C that is within the Big Box, this is the tile:


In the Big Box version, the trees and bushes clearly split the road in two.

I have the separate I&C expansion that has the large meeple symbol on the tile and they must have updated because my tile has the trees and bushes.

However, your point is well taken for those whose tile is the old style.

That is good to know. It was in need of an update. My first I&C expansion was the RGG seperate one and although it had the 'large meeple watermark' the tile was the type that was not split with trees and bushes.

How about a sticker that you can put on the I&C expansion instead of a new tile?

And the accessory pack would be a great idea for HiG to make and distribute at conventions and stuff.  If they combine it with something new (maybe new tiles), they can probably sell it as an expansion and people will buy it.  After all, anything has got to be better than the Catapult.

Please don't kill me, but I have trouble understanding the need for a separate king/robber baron scoring track. Why can't they be tracked on the regular scoring track?

This has also been suggested, and some people do it...

[Novelty]

Some people would like it to be a separate scoring track and that's fine as well.  You can download the separate scoring track from the Accessories section of the public downloads page.

K&S.I think it would be great a 600 (for example) scoring track that could be folded.
A scoring token instead of a meeple.
A bigger bag to hold a lot more tiles...
more variety on meeple color. I mean the full set (A&M included).
K&S tokens to score cities and road size. And others for the forest and the fishermen as I believe there are also fan-made expansions that are similar to K&S.
