Carcassonne mentioned in Church Sermon
« on: April 02, 2018, 07:12:47 AM »
So, I was watching the world-wide conference for my church on Saturday and one of the speakers mentioned the town of Carcassonne. My wife and kids were like, "Hey!? What? I thought Carcassonne was just a game!" I had a good chuckle explaining that Carcassonne the game, was named after an actual real place. My sister told me later that she was confused too, since she'd only ever heard the name "Carcassonne" while playing the game with me. I posted the relevant clip here.
There is a link to the entire speech in the youtube description.

Good spot flipshot! Glad you were there to explain about the other Carcassonne...

@wolnic: I sometimes watch Pointless, would have loved to have seen my favourite boardgame mentioned!

I tried to watch this episode online, but sadly since I'm not in the UK, it's blocked.  >:( I was looking at the bbc.co.uk website. Is it available somewhere else online, that isn't region locked?

No, I think it's limited to UK based viewers only (flipshot) but should be available for 28 days from original screening on iPlayer (danisthirty)
