Hi Dan,

Yes he did.  A close game.  I preferred the original game that we were playing but JCZ hung with a nullpointerexception error so we had to restart.

At last Khalid and I were online together.  A very close game that was decided with the final tile which was a monastery with a single road.  A frustrating end for Khalid as I was chasing him all the way and this was one of maybe two times in the whole game that I was ahead.

The dragon arrived late but he had his fill of meeples!

Thanks for the game.

Online Games and Competitions / Superbowl + Carcassonne game?
« on: February 03, 2016, 01:16:46 PM »
I like staying up and watching at least the first half of the Superbowl.  It starts at 23:20(ish) in UK.  To help me stay awake, would anyone like to play a JCZ game whilst I have Parthers vs Broncos on in the background this coming Sunday?

Maybe we can get 3, 4 or more of us playing?

A very enjoyable game with Kettlefish yesterday evening.  I had the luck the tiles, not only using 2 princesses to oust Green Meeples but also picking out tiles to complete large cities which I failed to do in earlier matches in this tournament.  The dragon was slow to arrive and when he did he stayed out on the top right and then the bottom right of the game.  We both had farmers eaten in the middle of the game and then I thought the crushing blow was having both my remaining farmers eaten at about 3/4 point of the game.  Kettlefish already had 3 farmers in the same field so I was playing farmer catchup.  I had the lead at this point and continued to pick up small city and road points getting the +3 fairy bonus wherever possible.  The removal of the second green meeple with the princess must have been the crucial move.  The city was ultimately unfinished but I glommed in and then scored the points for it at the end.  The biggest surprise was the final scores.  I had zero farming points but won!  I has assumed the farm gave Kettlefish the victory and was just enjoying myself for the last 10-15 tiles as it was far too late to get 3 farmers involved.

We had a good chat whilst we played and I thank Kettlefish for a fun and enjoyable hour with the tiles of Carcassonne.

I've not played the original, but I am planning to watch the Tabletop episodes for each version this weekend.

I saw that there was an expansion which allows you to defend your ship against dragons but also introduces a whirlpool.  Only 8 extra tiles for £8.99.  I picked up this game from ebay for £26.00.  Immaculate as only played once by previous owner.

I agree it is quick and simple and has a huge slice of luck involved.  I find it an enjoyable family game that we can play whilst chinwagging and it doesn't need too much concentration.

Hi Guy,

The package from Andrew at BoardGameExtras has arrived.  There are 24 ships tokens,
2 x 2 points
8 x 3 points
6 x 4 points
4 x 5 points
4 x 6 points
Let me know which points values you are short of and then we can work out exactly which tokens you need.

regards Halfling

Has anyone played Tsuro of the Seas? I just got mine and have played a 3 and a 4 player game. I enjoy it and was wondering how others feel about this game.

Hi fellow Princesses, I'll be online on Wednesday from 7pm-9pm UK.  Hope to play 2 matches if anyone available.

Thanks for the game last night Chuck.  I didn't realise you were on a loosing streak too.  After going behind 25 to 7 early on I thought I was going to be playing catch-up again but that wasn't the case.

For sure the biggest disparity was the monasteries.  I had just about all of them but I was unable to score 2 thanks to an oversized reptile that scared off my meeples.  I was out-meepled in the city top left when Chuck drew the CCCC tile and completed it.  The portals all arrived early and were of no use.  The dragon came late and caused the usual mayhem.

A very enjoyable end to the weekend.  Hope we can play again soon.
