Decar, you need a box in there for "Is it small enough to hide from my wife and avoid her condescending tone saying "ANOTHER ONE...don't you have enough already..you don't even play with all the ones you already have!"

So we have the same name and the same age, and now I'm secretly married that we may be married to the same person...

Is she short, blonde and welsh and has a disapproving look when she gets home first to find two "missed delivery" slips on the doormat?
must...collect...more...tiles....

Mine may not be Welsh and may have a different name, but gosh she still sounds just the same.

YES! Apart from the short, blonde, welsh part she sounds eerily similar... :o

So she turns up randomly and boots you out of cities unfairly? Exchange "cities" with "pubs" and I might have done the same...

My Japanese buildings arrived :D



The rules are the same as for German and Belgian monasteries, with a bit of confusion over calling the occupier of the building an abbot or a keeper!

Abbot: You place the follower onto the monastery as a keeper.

That's going to get confusing for those less familiar with the game, given that we already have an abbot meeple, but it is not the meeple depicted in the picture. Obviously the intention is that normal followers are used as keepers, not the abbot meeple, but use of the word abbot here is going to make people question. Now there's a spanner in the works.
Look to the north. Keep looking. There's nothing coming from the south.

Here are some photos of the real temples from my holiday in 2011:

Here is Kaminarimon - The Thunder Gate:



Here is Daibutsu Kamakura - The Great Buddha of Kamakura



Here is inside the Great Buddha:



A Buddha this size also requires large shoes!

The tiles clearly look like Carcassonne 2.0 tiles- so why the rules show them in a Carcassonne 1.0 game? It makes it worse somehow...
