Более тёмные города Второго издания первого тиража

The Second Edition of Carcassonne (or C2 for short) has undergone a few changes in style since its release in 2014. These minor graphic changes do not affect the playability of the game but the visual appearance of the board when combining tiles from different editions or styles.

Первые печатные версии Второго издания Каркассона (2014-2016) отличались более тёмным коричневым цветом основы для городов. Это также было использовано для первых двух крупных дополнений (Таверны и соборы и Купцы и зодчие), а также для некоторых рекламных материалов, доступных в то время. [Согласно нескольким постам на форуме Carcassonne Central] KJW потребовал, чтобы они были осветлены, и с тех пор все новые выпуски (начиная с Принцессы и дракона и далее), а также последующая перепечатка базовой игры и первых двух дополнений были представлены более светлыми городами.

В примере справа показаны две разные печати для одного из квадратов собора и нескольких окружающих его квадратов. (Изображение объединено из разных версий PDF правил для Таверн и соборов)

В фанатском сообществе версия с более тёмными городами называется Каркассон 2.0, версия с более светлыми городами - Каркассон 2.1.

На протяжении всей истории его производства были некоторые проблемы с согласованностью цвета между различными дополнениями, и это то, с чем мы, как игроки, должны стараться жить. Некоторые из нас могут иметь эстетические проблемы с объединением дополнений из двух разных тиражей, но квадраты остаются топологически идентичными.

Предметы, которые, как известно, были произведены с более тёмными городами

Cities with clipped buildings

Example: This picture compares city tiles from the base game (left) and cities with clipped buildings from the 20th Anniversary Edition (right).

Since 2020, the new releases kicked-off the Third Edition of Carcassonne (or C3 for short) with a few exceptions. This new edition changed its graphic style, affecting cities most noticeably:

  • The artwork style tends to show more detailed graphics and textured buildings.
  • Cities feature some buildings overflowing the tile and therefore clipped at the tile edges. This causes a discontinuity at the city edges, since the illustration is interrupted abruptly.
  • Cities include some distinctive features: buildings with black roofs, squares with a well and a new type of water towers.
  • Monasteries show no crosses on top of their belfries.

Previously, the Second Edition artwork style featured buildings distributed more sparsely in cities. They would be near the edge of the tile but never overflowing it.

Items known to have been produced with this new style:

Rounder corners

Example: This picture compares the tile corners from the base game (left) and the rounder ones from the 20th Anniversary Edition (right). The rounder corners create a bigger gap at the intersections that dissimulates the city wall interruptions caused by city-city corners.

Some of the latest print runs of C2 and some of the C3 print runs feature tiles with rounder corners. It hasn't been reported the reason for this, and there is no consistency for the time being. The place of printing seems an indicator, however this is also not always consistent for a publisher.

Most of the latest C2 releases have fairly square corners, and most C3 releases have more rounded corners (e.g. all the mini expansions released by HiG), but, for example, the C2 base game (second printing) by ZMG from 2019 has tiles with rounded corners, and C3 Big Box 7 Big Box 7 by ZMG or Mindok released later (2021-2022) with squarer corners.

Some items released with rounder corners:
