I was just wondering if some sets came with brown tiles to match the scoreboard.
I hope that the scoreboard from Das Schicksalsrad doesn't change to grey as well, I prefer the brown one...
The open box image on BGG is brown. That's a good sign for you. Personally, I'd like a gray one myself since I already have a brown one...I think. I got mine in the Big Box 1 and I seem to remember noting how it was brown but the 50/100 tiles were gray. |

Brown or grey... I had no idea that there was a grey version. My rather old and battered vanilla has a brown scoreboard.

Whaley, I think meepleater means he hopes the English version of the Wheel of Fate/Fortune will not have a grey scoreboard but a brown one instead. It doesn't really matter for me, I have both versions of the scoreboard (but not the version with the wheel).
I think I'm going to design score board covers so that I can have a 150-point scoreboard with all 3 scoreboards!

Wow, been a while since anyone's posted on this forum. I keep asking Jay when I send him emails about the Carcassonne Central Expansion, but he never acknowledges that specific question. Anyway, I thought I'd post a nice review somebody put up on BGG: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/439802. It sums up the rules pretty well and gives a relatively neutral opinion of the expansion/game. For those of you who don't want to read the whole thing, his main point is that it doesn't add much but also doesn't take away anything, and overall the gambling aspect adds an extra fun element with the bonus points. Pretty much my opinion from what I've read. Anyway, check out the review and give the person some merits! |

It appears as though you can also pre-order the new stand-alone River expansion from the same page.

The game page at RGG is up, and it includes the English version of the rules. I haven't gone through the rules yet and I'm just wondering if there are any difference in the English version of the rules. |

Thank God. I was starting to worry that it would never come out in English.
Of course, he emphasizes on the listing that it is "It is a stand-alone game, not an expansion," which is a very intelligent move since it is, in fact, an expansion as well as a stand-alone. It also mentions nowhere that it can act as a replacement base game. The entry basically says it falls in the same category as Discovery or Hunters & Gatherers. Smart, Rio Grande, very smart.
Also, has anyone noticed that the images in the rules are very VERY poor quality? I was worried that the "not expansion" would not even have the Wheel symbols in the corners. That, at least, seems corrected by the poor addition of them on the last page.

hehe. I ordered Wheel of Fortune yesterday. It should arrive sometime next week with my copy of Ticket to Ride 1912 Europa. I'll try and post a sessions report here when I play it. Perhaps I will do the same with Tunnel when I get that. I'll post them on BGG too so I can finally get the last 4 GG to earn an übergeekbadge (I've been working hard for that one!).

Finally got Wheel of Fortune today, thereby completing my Carcassonne collection again. Why is it everytime I complete my collection, a new expansion is released? Anyway, still haven't had a play through; I decided to try out Ticket to Ride Europa 1912 first. Fun expansion! I'll post a sessions report for WoF after I play it.
