In the end you will see that The Catapult was completely misunderstood by us mere mortals and it deserves a place in the Carcassonne Hall of Fame.  :o

What's wrong with Count, King and Robber?

The Count adds a nice layer of strategy, the King and Robber is a minimal change and the River II is legit. Only the Cult tiles are kind of lame imo, more monasteries ????

We like the River II, but the rest of this expansion is worthless.  We have multiple versions of the Cult so it is unnecessary.  King and Robber are a couple of extra tiles, but the change isn't worth the effort.  The Count is fiddly and allows for some annoying point stealing possibilities.  Nobody puts a meeple on the Monastery part of Carcassonne and rarely do people care enough about roads to put one there either.   Basically the count just goes back and forth between the same 2 spots. 

We will occasionally pull out the Catapult, but this one and the Tower have only been played once total.

Watch out there could be a visit from the men who strap you up in a long sleeved jacket and take you to a padded room.

The only possible reason for doing this would be to use the second catapult to get rid of the first catapult. But then you'd need a third catapult to get rid of the second.

Well... Here you can see my two catapults and a custom-made one I had around just for emergencies...

I can use the third one to get rid of the other two and disassemble it so no trace is left behind...

Who would know? I had a plan... >:D

I am pretty sure, there is a way to self-catapult a a catapult?  ???

That way, you won't need a second one >:D
