Gold Rush Fan Expansions

Main Page > Gold Rush > Gold Rush Fan Expansions

Introduction

There are several fan-maintained websites that contain fan expansions for Carcassonne and its variants and spin-offs games, including Gold Rush. The two most active are CarcassonneCentral (English speaking) and CarcassonneForum (German). There are smaller (national) sites which may also contain locally developed expansions - for example, there is a Czech site, and there has previously been one in the Netherlands, while BoardGameGeek may also contain fan expansion ideas.
