And the winner is: "Carcassonne: Das Katapult, which will be small expansion #7 for this never-ending, constantly growing beast" I'm gonna guess that translates to "The Catapult".  Here's to a meeple launching future! -crasher via Board Game News |

Catapult sounds like it is going to be more competitive. Neat!

I predict it will work like towers except instead of picking up meeples you can pick up tiles. Oh man if that's true imagine the implications....

Interesting theory! A catapult is typically used to take down fortified walls or toss destructive payloads inside them. I'd think that if it is along this vein, that this may allow a player to trade out opponent's city tiles while the opponent is building them, with the goal of reducing the size or value of her city. I will go further and make a prediction about the 8th expansion: Guillotines!!! |

You know, I reckon this Catapult thing is just gonna be a total rip-off of my pig-throwing variant. I smell a lawsuit… |

Meh. We're sorry that we couldn't use the recent game submission that you entered into BGG, and it was removed from the system.
Name: Carcassonne: Das Katapult
Reason:More information is needed, especially for a new release. Please elaborate and re-submit.
Sincerely,

Found this page with an image of the box for this expansion. If my (non-existant) german understand is correct, we can expect this mid-October 2008. From what I can see, the box is similar to the Towers box... so perhaps there is an actual catapult of some sort inside the box? |

Direct translation from google:
Carcassonne - The catapult
Novelty
If a plate with a catapult revealed, is now a first-round catapult played. This can be done with great skill wet or additional points which may also lose.
ATTENTION: Only with the basic game "Carcassonne" playable!
Carcassonne - The catapult is 2 to 6 players aged 8 to 100 years.

From what I can see, the box is similar to the Towers box... so perhaps there is an actual catapult of some sort inside the box? Interesting! If that box is indeed authentic, then one might also surmise by the cover that with a musician, guy on stilts and non-military crowd milling about, that this might be a festival, fair or gathering of some sort. Google translation reads: "Carcassonne - The catapult. If a plate [=tile?] with a catapult revealed, is now a first-round catapult played. This can be done with great skill wet or additional points which may also lose." (ah skipboris beat me to it!) So there seems to be some catapult tiles, the context of which is not very easy to guess, whether it be a catapult in a military sense or some kind of festival-related purpose. Since the object of catapults is to throw things, perhaps a catapult tile enables movement by meeples over long distances? |
