[Novelty]

Heh, being in HK for a week, that title makes me think of Treasure Hunt "Ten" :p

[Lardarse]

Name of this expansion is to be confirmed, I can think of:-

1) Carc: Treasure Hunt+ ,  2) Carc: Treasure Hunt - The Heritage

The first name means "Even more Treasure Hunt tiles".

The second name gives an idea of players having Treasure Chest or keys in the beginning of the game.  I'm not very sure "Heritage" is the correct word to use....

I can't work out what you mean here, so I can't suggest a better word...

Map Tiles
CCCC tile with key and treasure of different colors (1 single city)
FFFF tile with key and treasure of different colors
RRRR tile with key and treasure of different colors (2 separate roads)
A map tile with special landscape

Are you thinking of anything in particular for these tiles?

Development of 8 new Treasure Tiles in progress...
- There will be 1 new Royal Landscape Tile.

A 'Treasure Tile' reference card would be nice for Treasure Hunt, since with the release of TH+, there will be a total of 12 Treasure Tiles...

[Novelty]

Nice tiles.  The first 2 (on the left) seems a bit washed out to me.  If you would like, I could send you my version of those 2 tiles (without the icons).

And I thought there were more than 12 treasure tiles?  8 from TH, 4 from TC and now 8 from TH+  Or do you not count the lose and gain point treasures?

yes, please.

Ah.... I have only counted the Treasure tiles I created.  :P  Together with TC, there will be a total of 16 Treasure tiles (including traps)

After TH+ is ready, I will repackage TH with TH+ as TH 2.0.  (and TC is really an expansion to TH, as it requires other expansion like Forest and/or River)

I will replace the 'white pig & white follower' treasure tile with a Royal Landscape, which named as 'Royal Army'.  It destroys an existing, incomplete city (just like the cathar tile), knights in that city cannot escape to nearby cloister and the owner will score NOTHING for completing that city.  (only Royal Cathedral can cancel out this effect)

I was so busy in past few months that I didn't have time to complete TH+....  Hope I can complete it soon.

Ah, I understand now.  It might get a bit messy with the rules, but I guess it can be done.

I read through Treasure Hunt a few days ago, and I like it but why are the tiles so different in brightness,
some tiles look great, but some rather dull or washed out (tile 6, 7 and 13 for instance, but also 3, 5 and 10),
would it be possible to make these look better.
I have just received 240 blank tiles from HiG and my girlfriend have just bought a superb wax printer (way better than usual laser printers) and glossy adhesive photo paper that will make wonderful tiles, and then I am not so glad to see those dull, washed out colours on the original Treasure Hunt tiles.

Proof-read:
In section 1 “Place a tile”, the phrase “Royal Landscape tile” is mentioned without any clarification, it might need a footnote.
(I know it comes later but when you first read it, it's a mystery)
The same problem arises in section 2. "Deploy a follower", and yes I know that (most) questions are answered in section 3. "Complete cities, roads, cloisters or farms", but for instance the first line with "if a player has a key and treasure chest tokens of the same colour, or the multi-coloured key token and any treasure chest token" sounds really strange when you at that time in the rules, don't even know how to get hold of them.

In Royal Cathedral, Royal Highway and Royal Cloister it says: “At the end of game…”
shouldn’t it be “end of the game”  ?

Footnote 4 say: “with the playing a follower”

Hope I am not offending anyone with this, but I would be grateful if someone could make the tiles look better.

I admit that some tiles are off-color and do not look good.  Since I'll have Chinese New Year holiday soon, I think I can spend some time to re-do the arts.

Please refer to this thread

*Update*

I have resized all TH tiles and some of them are remade.  Moreover, TH+ tiles are completed.  I will post the preview version here soon.

[wicke]

Great, will you make separate pdf's of the tiles for the "first" Treasure Hunt and Treasure Hunt+, or will you mix them together ?

[Maulei]

TH v2.0 will contain all TH v1.0 tiles and TH+ tiles.

All tiles will be renumbered.  I will also prepare a TH+ tile sheet showing the new TH tiles.

Here comes the preview version:

New Map Tiles


New Treasure Tiles - The Masters


New Treasure Tiles - The Builders


New Royal Landscape - Royal Army


New Treasure Chests

Rule update for TH 2.0

Preparation
[New] Before game start, each player draw a 'Heritage token' (Treasure Chest/Key token but with different tile back).  It remains uncovered during the game and it works exactly the same as ordinary Treasure Chest / Key token (ie, can be opened with key or open treasure chest).  At end of game, the Heritage token yield no points.


Royal Army
- When a city is connected with Royal Army tile, it is under seiged by Royal Army.  When the city is completed, each tile is scored for 1 point only.  If the city is incomplete, the player scores nothing.  Same as Cathar tile, the knight inside a city may escape to nearby cloister.

Royal Landscape
- When a city is connected with Royal Cathedral and Royal Army, the special effect of both tiles are cancelled.

The masters
- When the owner of the master tile complete a feature (as specified on the tile), he gains 2 points

The Builders
- The owner's follower on specific type of tiles also work as Builder.  That is, the owner can draw and play extra tile for once, when extending his road/city.

New treasure chest
- self explanatory
