I'm working on finishing up a fan-expansion version of these gameplay mechanics, using only the classic art style and intended for Carc-I games. It is set in a different city (a French one. Imagine that) and doesn't have exactly the same configuration as the Leipzig tiles, since we can't do straight conversions without permission. So it's a fan-expansion with its own design, including purposeful differences, that borrows the concepts. The basic version of the expansion will conform to the gameplay of the four districts Leipzig has (Cartwright, Tanner, Minter, Bookbinder) and thus should provide a comparable play experience for those of us who still don't want to mix the art styles.

Anyway, for whatever it's worth, after studying a bunch of tiles and crunching some numbers I decided to have my Carc-I Tanner district count any field segment that has a corral and/or livestock (fences, sheep, goats, and/or pigs) printed on the tiles. (Sheep tokens don't count.) In a basic Carc-I game, this pretty closely mimics the numbers of farmhouses/stalls on the Carc-II tiles, and I'm fairly happy with the thematic match. Anyway, here's the translation that Google and I collaborated on: The Markets of Leipzig Leipzig's fair tradition dates back to the Middle Ages. Queen Fan Club Magazines Pdf Free there. At the crossroads of the important trade routes Via Regia and Via Imperii, a settlement of merchants and artisans was established under the protection of a castle. Its first reference was the 'place near the Linden' in 1015 as 'urbs Lipzi'.

Around 1165, Otto der Reiche succeeded in keeping the market town of Lipz within the city as well as the market law. Thus, for the first time, the annual markets were protected by the state; competing markets within about a mile around the city were pushed back.

Privileges such as those of King Maximilian I of 1497 and 1507 promoted the emergence of the Leipzig trade fairs - the city became an international trade fair. The Leipziger Messe, whose logo serves here as a watermark, has its origin in these medieval market days. GAME COMPONENTS • 4 double landscape tiles (marked with MM) GAME PREPARATION Lay out the landscape tiles so that the four city districts lie together and make the city of Leipzig. In reality, the signpost for Francofortum points to the west, Stettinum to the north, Vratislavia to the east and Roma to the south. For the game, the sequence in which you arrange the quarters is irrelevant. Because of this display, the normal starting tile is no longer needed.

If possible, give each player an additional meeple, since they will quickly become scarce in this variant. GAMEPLAY The rules for 1.

Laying landscape tiles and 2. Using a meeple remain unchanged. By scoring, bring meeples over to Leipzig From each city district of Leipzig there leads out a road. All the roads which are connected to it offer you the possibility to send a meeple to Leipzig. This also applies to roads that do not lead directly to Leipzig, but which are connected by a road to Leipzig. If you score a road that is so connected to Leipzig and you have the majority, you may choose: • You score the road and get the points for it. OR • You send a meeple from the road to Leipzig and abandon the points.

It should be noted: • If you have several meeples on a road, you can only send one of them to Leipzig. For the other meeple(s), you may take the points for the road. If you send the meeple to the wagonmaker district you get the bonus points (see below). • If several players have the majority on a road, everyone can choose independently from the others whether he wants to send his meeple to Leipzig or receive the points. • During a road scoring, the road on the double tile counts as only one road segment.

You place your meeple on a district of Leipzig of your choice (it does not necessarily have to be the district to which the road leads). He stays there until the end of the game.
