Don't feel jealousy, I bought Corn Circles 1 two months ago at ebay.de. The price about 20 $ + 5 $ shipping to USA

General / Ode to Carcassonne from Gamer's Mind
« on: July 18, 2013, 05:40:29 PM »
 I'd like to share a this nice poem, taken from Gamer's Mind blog http://ekted.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html

Ode to Carcassonne

Upon this land, the sun revealed
Quiet roads as yet unknown.
Upon the walls, emboldened shield,
The greenest grass in every field.
Behold! The land of Carcassonne!

With modest plans for its design,
The Meeples came from distant lands,
With dreams of cloth and wheat and wine,
And roaming room for every swine,
They took their tools into their hands.

It started out in harmony,
With open space for all to share.
The Meeples planned and did agree,
To build their home from sea to sea.
But no one had become aware...

Towers filled the autumn sky.
Built from stones the land bestowed.
The cloister bells rang on high,
To tell them that their dream was nigh,
But the pleasantry plateaued.

Their status would not remain unflaunted.
Their avarice it grew unchecked.
The lesser Meeples simply wanted,
To send their fellow knights undaunted,
Into cities granting more respect.

Soon the Meeples were at war.
The cities, farms, and roads, as one,
Became the source of bad rapport.
Not even monks could they restore,
The damage that was done.

On the final day a farmer crept,
Upon the tallest tower,
To view his domain while others slept.
But in his sudden grief he wept,
For there were no more farms to conquer.

I'd like to share a old reading, but it's new for a Carcassonne's rookie like me:

 I would like to learn more about Carcassonne's strategy, but I'd only read the Strategy Guide, available in the Downloads Section

General / Re: Opinions sought on "base" game and expnasions
« on: June 28, 2013, 08:58:32 AM »


In summary, two questions:
1. What do you consider the essential "base" collection that any Carc sessions should have?
2. What expansion is first on your list when decided which to add?

I'm new to the world of Carcassonne, but I'm trying to recover 13 years of experience in a few months.
I've learnt and taught with the base game, then add one expansion after two subsequent games, I&C first and then T&B, these are the "base" for me and my family.
The P&D could be funny but it's no recommended for friendly games and introduces more ramdom and reduces the strategy.
The Phantom and the Ferries are the best of the mini's and are worth using pretty often, that's because increase tactical options.

Resume in order of preferences:

- 72 tiles. Original Base game .
- 18 tiles. I&C.
- 24 tiles. T&B.
- The Phantom.
- 8 tiles. The Ferries.

Regards from Venezuela.

PD: I'm trying to buy some stuff from the Carcatronn's store (carcassonneshope) but the site still down. Any suggestions?
