The Second and Third Editions of Carcassonne share a similar visual style. These editions represent different milestones since the visual restyling of the game 14 years after its release. This new graphic style has also varied through the years, as you can see below.  

=== Die Städte der zweite Ausgabe hat anfangs dunklere Städte ===

The Second Edition of Carcassonne (or C2 for short) has undergone a few changes in style since its release in {{Year|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.

<div class="mw-translate-fuzzy">
Die ersten gedruckten Versionen der zweiten Edition von Carcassonne ({{Year|2014}}-{{Year|2016}}) hatten eine dunklere braune Farbe für die Städte. Diese wurde auch für die ersten beiden großen Erweiterungen ([[Inns and Cathedrals/de|Wirtshäuser und Kathedralen]], und [[Traders and Builders/de|Händler und Baumeister]]) sowie für einige der damals verfügbaren Werbeartikel verwendet. Nach mehreren Beiträgen im Carcassonne Central Forum forderte die KJW eine Aufhellung, und seither werden bei allen Neuerscheinungen (ab [[The Princess and The Dragon/de|Burgfräulein und Drache]]) und dem anschließenden Neudruck des Basisspiels und der ersten beiden Erweiterungen die heller gefärbten Städte verwendet.

<div class="mw-translate-fuzzy">
Innerhalb der Fangemeinde wird die dunklere Stadtversion als Carc 2.0, die hellere Stadtversion als Carc 2.1 bezeichnet.
</div>

Während der gesamten Produktionsgeschichte gab es einige Probleme mit der Farbkonsistenz zwischen den verschiedenen Erweiterungen, und damit müssen wir als Spieler versuchen zu leben. Einige wenige mögen ästhetische Probleme mit der Kombination von Erweiterungen aus den beiden verschiedenen Drucken haben, aber die Karten sind topologisch identisch.

== Cities with clipped buildings ==

Since {{Year|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:'''
<!--* {{HalflingsLink}} (introduced some edges with clipped cities and tiles with rounder corners)
* {{GermanCathedralsLink}} (no cities are featured but tiles have rounder corners)-->
* {{PeasantRevoltsLink}}
* {{VariantsLink|version=20thAnniversary}} (it follows the {{TextC3}} style, although it is considered a separate edition)
* {{GiftsLink}} (cards showing cities in the new style)

== Rounder corners ==

[[File:Crowded_Cities_C2_Example_Corners.png|thumb|right|500px| '''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 {{TextC2}} and some of the {{TextC3}} 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 {{TextC2}} releases have fairly square corners, and most {{TextC3}} releases have more rounded corners (e.g. all the mini expansions released by '''[[{{Path|Hans im Glück}}|HiG]]'''), but, for example, the {{TextC2}} base game (second printing) by '''[[{{Path|Z-Man Games}}|ZMG]]''' from {{Year|2019}} has tiles with rounded corners, and {{TextC3}} {{VariantsLink|version=BigBox7|logo=noborder}} by '''[[{{Path|Z-Man Games}}|ZMG]]''' or '''[[{{Path|Mindok}}|Mindok]]''' released later (2021-2022) with squarer corners.
