Updated first post to move the Spielbox 2008 expansion to the republished section (eventhough technically, it's a new expansion).  Thanks Matt for the info!

Well, it was what I needed, so I figured I might as well create something for everyone to enjoy.  Besides, it's a pain to navigate to BGG all the time when I need the info.  Since Carc Central is bookmarked for me, it's much easier to have the info here.  I hope other people find it useful too.

Of course, by "rip off" I meant asking for full permission and giving full credit…

I think I will leave the swedish rip-off off the list then.  But I did add the Limited version into the list.  Can someone tell me if HiG published the Limited Edition, or was it just a RGG thing?

There is a mistake in the summary:

Carcassonne: The Princess and the Dragon
Publisher: HiG & RGG
Release Date: 2005
New Concept: Princess, Dragon, dragon tiles, volcanoes
Tiles: 30 land
Meeples: 1 princess (white), 1 dragon (red)
Others: 20 trade good tiles, 1 cloth bag

Otherwise a great summary  Smiley

Good catch.  That's what happens with cut and paste.  I have edited.  Thanks.

All suggestions welcomed, as usual.

I think the second mention of King and Scout should have a picture of the Scout side of the box, since it is being mentioned again in context with H&G.

I think so too... could you find me an image online (Scout only, without the King) so that I can modify the table?
