Some slightly bemused onlookers witnessed a Carcassonne Central World Cup Group A clash today between jungleboy and Chooselife at the esteemed Estoril Tennis Club. The final score was jungleboy 240, Chooselife 210.In the end the 30-point difference was exactly represented by me (green) winning all three trade good majorities, largely thanks to being the player who completed the 72-point cathedral city with eight goods in it. Chooselife led throughout most of the game but I had the edge in the main farm (worth 44 points in the end) most of the way. We battled long and hard for this farm in the second half of the game and in the end I claimed it outright to win the game.Thanks for the game Chooselife and may this be merely the first of many in-person Carcassonne battles!

I realise now that if Grabushka finishes 2nd, I'll be playing against her. That could be interesting!

It isn't especially uncommon for 3 players to be tied where A has beaten B, B has beaten C and C has beaten A. Who goes top then? C won't let A go on top because it should be him. But B won't let C go on top because it should be him. And A won't let B go on top for the same reason. So there needs to be something else, otherwise we have a 3-way stalemate. I know this isn't the same as a 2-way tie but it gets needlessly complicated when you start trying to resolve ties in different ways depending on how many people are involved.
What? All trade goods, 72-pt cathedral city, main field worth 44 pts and you only win by 30 points. Wow, Chooselife must have been really good at completing other features like cloisters, mid-size cities, roads with inn maybe?
