I've been thinking of tackling Jordan River but haven't made an attempt yet.

If you guys could put up some ideas, maybe in a couple of months, we could put some of these up for a vote as the collaborative expansion of the month.  Just a thought.

As I suspected, I suck too much at graphics to make Jordan River.

Grin  That made me giggle...

If you guys could put up some ideas, maybe in a couple of months, we could put some of these up for a vote as the collaborative expansion of the month.  Just a thought.

Here are several ideas my wife and I had:
Trade goods - Gold, Frankinsence, & Myrrh (sp?), figs, olives, fish.
David and Goliath (a travel meeple and a large "Kinder" meeple).
The ten plauges of Egypt (all different tiles).
Joseph and the Coat of Many Colors (A neutral meeple painted all different colors).
Zacheus (the "wee little man") (New Test., but could be fun with a travel meeple).  Like a single tax collector?
Loaves & fishes (again, NT) - trade goods or Kettle of Fish.
The Prophet of the Lord (Elijah, Elisha, or Samuel) like House of Valois?
The Judges (like the bishops).
The High Priest (like the Pope).
The King, Robber Baron, Cleric, Serf, and Outlaw (adapted).
The Jordan River (I think I saw this one mentioned somewhere).
The Temple - Like the Abbey or Lord of the Manor.
Shepherds and Sheep.
Apoth and tithe (adapted).
The 12 Tribes of Isreal (Family Feud, maybe not twelve).
The Wells
The Prophet of Baal - Like the Shrines.
The Wilderness - Forest (or Dessert might be more appropriate).
The Dead Sea - Lake or Ocean tiles.

The Jordan River runs from the Sea of Galilee/Tiberius to the Dead Sea, so to me the Dead Sea is the ending tile for the Jordan River expansion. For me, Jordan River is the most important expansion because it matches with the River expansion for original Carc, and it was where exploration of the land of Canaan began, which makes it historically appropriate for the game.

The AotC artwork is slightly different from Carc, so one has to draw afresh a new river to match the style.  I'm not surprised that it's not easy.  Well, there's no harm starting a whole new thread for it (and anything else that anyone is serious about) to get suggestions and submissions (pretty much what's happening with vineyards at the moment).  I'll leave it up to someone else to "drive" this.

I agree.  It is the obvious first choice.
