But eleven years later, my copy of Carcassonne has expanded beyond the limits of what the base game box can hold and is spread across multiple boxes. Ever since then, I’ve longed to get my hands on one of the Big Boxes, but the price was always just slightly too high for me to justify the purchase, considering I already had everything else in the box. Those six mini-expansions were seemingly forever out of my reach.Īnd then Carcassonne Big Box 4 came along later that year and changed all of that. The aftermarket prices on Ebay and the GeekMarket were obscene.
Before I knew it, the opportunity was gone. Life circumstances, coupled with the FLGS I frequented closing its doors, conspired to prevent me from acquiring them at the time. Back in 2012, six mini-expansions were released for the game, each containing a single tile for a seventh expansion. My Carcassonne journey has been a pretty good one, but there’s always been one thing I’ve regretted. Heck, I even reviewed My First Carcassonne. I recently had a chance to sit down to play and review Mists Over Carcassonne. I talked about the base game at length with Andrew Holmes, and many of the early expansions were the basis for my earliest reviews posted on Boardgamegeek. If you know me, you know I’m a fan of Carcassonne.
