I've got a very special delivery yesterday: Udo Schmitz (Carcassonne-on-Tour) brought me these latest expansions that I didn't have in my collection till the moment!

Congrats MrNumbers. Those are some nice gifts! :) :(y)

I've been meaning to get all of the following things together for a while, purely so that I could take a photo. I finally managed it this morning:



There are a few things here including: Spiel Doch + Labyrinth tiles, spare copy of The Tower, Japanese Monasteries, German Cathedrals, River 1 tiles (with special backgrounds for copy protection purposes of the PC game), custom Meeples from our CarcC UK meetup last Saturday and a number of signed tiles from Curt194, Safari, Valheru, Andrew the Ambo and CARfirst. I have Decar to thank for much of this, especially the awesome meeples, and Valheru for the River tiles. Many thanks guys! :D

I'm thinking about contacting the Guinness book of records about the possibility of my collection of signed tiles being the largest privately owned collection of signed Carcassonne tiles since I have well over 100 now! 8)

PS - and underneath it all is one of the playmats that jungleboy and I ordered! Thanks to him for spotting these; very cool!

They're really nice, aren't they? I've been playing solo games on them this week (Limes/Castellion), and I even managed a surprise 4-player game of Biblios yesterday which we also played on the (blue) mat. Definitely glad I got them.

So far I've only played the lowest level. It took me a couple of games to figure out what I was doing, then I beat it twice in a row fairly easily so I think I'm 'ready' for the base level and looking forward to it - might have a go tonight. Still haven't played Sylvion yet. But I love Limes, so that's what I'm playing mostly so far.

I was the other way round.  I won my first game easily and then lost the next 4 games :(

Just ordered 3 mini expansions and some blank tiles from Cundco, hopefully it comes without a problem! If it does, I will have half and half 1, windroses, and the school. Also 12 tiles to make someone's fan expansion and if I like it, a tuckbox. Now I just have to wait 10-25 business days. Let's hope it's closer to ten!  ;D
I don´t trust you with putting back my tiles. You might put them back upside down...

Sometimes, you just have to be lucky, page 4 on amazon.de, a single copy of carcassonne inkl Die Kornkreise neu and unopened.

40 € but still, I can say I got this expansion without any trick !

I received some new meeples in the post thanks to hunnymonster.

I will be using them as markers for La Porxada, i.e. any players that have knights in the city when it is completed place one of these meeples on the La Porxada tile so that they get the bonus at the end of the game.



(This photo also gives me a chance to show off my new La Porxada tile - I'll be posting about how I made it later!)

Extra coloured transparent meeples from @Michmedia arrived...
Whatever it is, it's probably in the post from Germany...

I received mine too! ;D And the orginal phantoms i ordered after buying these came in earlier this week. So i'm very happy!
This is the game, those are the rules and that is how it should be played!

To open or not to open, that is a big dilemna :)
