German board game publisher Hans im Gluck Verlags has announced plans to release Carcassonne Star Wars in Autumn 2015. The news was shared, along with prototype images, on its Twitter account, after a preview at Spielwarenmesse, the international toy fair in Nuremberg.
Carcassonne was designed by Klaus-Jurgen Wrede and published in 2000 by Hans im Gluck in Germany. The perennnial top-selling tile-based board game received the Spiel des Jahres and the Deutscher Spiele Preis awards in 2001 and has been translated into 24 languages. Carcassonne holds the #9 spot on the gaming industry data source ICv2’s most recent Top 10 Best-Selling Board Games chart.
According to ICv2, U.S. publisher Z-Man Games is negotiating with Hans im Gluck for rights to several games, but did not confirm whether or not Carcassonne Star Wars was one of them.
May the force be with us…!!
