Well done both. Great to see that the first game has taken place. Hopefully some more will follow soon...

It sounds as though "Settings" - "Confirm placement on a farm" (JCZ option) might be of benefit for future games!  :) :(y)

Welcome Tournament - group1

Another game is past me.

Merlin_89 168-82 Lomdr

Lomdr was unlucky, he didn't get tile he needed (I got 2 remaining), and I also managed to block his 2 cloisters... and that was it.  Crazy score: 168!

Waiting for more games.

Wowser! 168 from the Base game! 3 times around the track.  It looks like you got the majority of city and pennant tiles too.

Lomdr, hope your next game goes better; I bet you've learnt a few tricks from that game!

The game was a jerk to me, really.  Like, seriously, Merlin's draws would have made me groan at the table top.  Also, it was my first 2 player game too

Also, I have a shot of the score breakdown too, Merlin.  This game it was all about the cities

Wow, tough break. Sounds like quite a game! Sometimes the tiles are trying to beat you just as much as your opponent. Still, 168 points from a basic game is one of the highest scores I've ever heard of!

Oh well, we've all been there, better luck next time lomdr!  :(y)

Curt194 - please come online in the chatroom - you need not to shy  - there we can tell you some more information - and you have the chance to play some test games before you play your first game for the "welcome tournament".

My second game, it was closer than the curbstomp that I had earlier, and Curt nearly made 3 laps around the board.  I didn't notice that he stole the megafarm away from me until it was too late

A very well fought game! I was pretty lucky with the large city I got towards the top of the board and just managed to get my second farmer placed to nab the mega farm. Looking forward to more games!

Yeah, I did try to wreck it but you immediately drew a good counter to that, and I stopped putting points into your city there

Well done everyone tonight.

We've got lots of new players on board!

Group1 has managed to complete 3 games:



Group2 has yet to play a game, but tonight we saw Rich_The_Fish missed Ailurus by 5 minutes,  then Ailurus  missed ToastyToast by 2minutes!

I think we'll have some good games soon from Group 2.

We managed to play a few friendly games with Curt192 and ToastyToast and Halfling - so everyone is getting used to JCloisterZone.

Well Done everyone!

Some great games played today!

Good games, guys. Congrats to the winners!
Next game, next chance, Lomdr. Maybe this might be the game against me (hopefully not, as I want you to win your next game, but want to win my games too, of course. ;D )

Well done both. Great to see that the first game has taken place. Hopefully some more will follow soon...

It sounds as though "Settings" - "Confirm placement on a farm" (JCZ option) might be of benefit for future games!  :) :(y)
Woohoo! Didn't know that this option exist. From now on: No game without!  ;D
