Is it possible to integrate any of the spin-offs - City, Discovery, H&G, Scout (of King & Scout) etc. into the main game?  Are there any variant rules for those?

I'm sure it's possible, but none of the variants I have in the Variant Registry are written for any of the Carc spin-offs, but many do work with the existing game + expansions.

I was thinking about existing game + Expansions + spin-offs.  So, for example, special rules for playing Carcassonne + Ark of the Covenant + Cathars + Abbey & Mayors + King, Count & Cultist, to play the "religious" game.  Does anything exist, or do people generally think it's not a good idea to mix the spin-offs with the existing game?

I've read just about every Carc variant there is, and I haven't come across anything like this either. It's probably doable, but the graphics might not match up. Based on what I've seen of the H&G tiles, I don't think they would fit well. Discovery probably has the best chance of success?

I posted this under a different thread and although it would make for a marathon Carcassonne session I thought of playing the original carcassone with any expansions you choose but then play The City to resolve ties in scoring completed cities.

Yeah call me a geek but it combines one of the spin-offs with the original Smiley

Heh, do you play with H&G to settle ties for farms at the end?

I have yet to play H&G but based on what I know not a bad idea but might need to put aside a weekend to play  Grin

Well, I didn't see anything in the guidelines against thread necromancy, so I'm raising an old one rather than start another.

My family has tried to combine H&G with Carcassonne... didn't work well at all. The terrain features just don't mix.

Soon, however, I hope to unleash a combined Ark & Carc game upon them. Will keep you posted on how it goes.

I prefer the term "thread archeology". Grin
