Introduction
Brief note about large number of downloadable Fan-contributed Expansions available on the internet for print and play - link to unauthorised Fan Expansion page if created - and a bit of blurb describing the following content, which is of expansions authorised by publisher for fans to produce.
Conversion between different Editions
HiG have given authorisation to the German Carcassonne Forum to convert, on a limited (approximately 1 or 2 per year) and agreed case-by-case basis, a small number of expansions in the other stye of artwork because the publisher does not intend to convert and commercially release that expansion themselves. The publisher has indicated that new expansions that are released in the Second Edition artwork will not be printed in the old artwork style and that it is unlikely that certain original expansions will be updated for the new artwork.
First Edition to Second Edition
The Plague
This is currently under development (late 2018/early 2019).
Games Quarterly 11
The 12 individual tiles for this, by Ratz65, are available in low resolution from the CarcF site, rather than as a single download file, which indicates that although development is seemingly complete, the final set of tiles at a higher resolution, and rules, have not yet been completed/approved.
Second Edition to First Edition
The tiles for the following conversions are available for download from the German Carcassonne Forum, which requires a login and participation in forum activities before download access becomes available.
Gardens and The Abbot
Hans-Dietrich Pester has created a set of 20 tiles with gardens, replicating those that have appeared in the Base Game and subsequent major expansions. This allows use of The Abbot. Players may uses the Abbot figures from the current edition game, obtain additional abbot figures from CundCo, or use another figure in its place. Two different garden designs have been used on the tiles, and the work was carried out in the period 2015-2016.
The Watchtowers
This was the first official conversion from Second to First Edition art styles by Hans-Dietrich Pester, and comprises a set of 12 tiles featuring a watchtower which match those from the minor expansion. Two additional tiles are included on the sheet.
Under The Big Top
Work on converting this major expansion from the Second Edition commenced almost immediately after the expansion was officially released in 2018, but this was prior to the agreement between CarcF and HiG. As a result of that later negotiation, work on the conversion ceased, but may resume at an agreed date in the future.
Fan expansions on HiG website
For a short period during 2014-2016, several fan expansions were selected by HiG, revised, and made available through their website as "print and play" download files. However, at a subsequent website redesign, the files were not reinstated. However, each of the expansions are still available, in at least one of the versions, from either CarcC or CarcF for download. They were never available as printed files by the publisher, or through CundCo.
City Gates
Original design by Christof Struck and Hans-Dietrich Pester.
Originally developed by Christof on CarcF as a set of 12 tiles, it was subsequently released in 2015 by HiG as a sheet of 24 "print and play" tiles. Both the original and HiG versions are available from CarcF.
Easter in Carcassonne
Original design by Christof Struck.
Available from HiG as a PDF download in 2014 comprising 22 tiles. Currently available from CarcF website.
Fortune Teller
Original design by Jeffrey Puttnam.
The original version (with crescent moon watermark) is available on CarcC and comprises nine tiles for First Edition artwork.
The HiG version (has a crystal ball watermark) was made available for download in 2016 on the HiG website, but is not currently available. It comprised 8 tiles in both First Edition and Second Edition artwork, with each tile featuring the Fortune Teller's tent.
