Nice.

I know that is the Asmodee digital version of the game, but what platform are you using? I have the Switch version and I can only play local games.

I play on my PC using Epic Games Launcher

Unusual game. My opponent had 0 points before final scoring. Do not think I have ever been quite so successful in blocking in an opponent so they were unable to get back any of their meeples. My opponent rage quit a couple of turns from the end (understandably)!

I have assumed that this tournament is abandoned and have started playing on the app instead :(

Apologies for missing this Riker, and thanks very much for your kind words! Ours was certainly the most intense game I played on the day!

And yet also the friendliest and played in the best spirit!

Congratulations on your victory in the Catan competition, when are the European/ world championships?

European is due to be in the Autumn this year, in Amsterdam. The Worlds will be in the Autumn next year, probably in Malta.

I will not be available to play much in August. I suggest the tournament carries on without me in the meantime and hopefully I will soon catch up in September.

Sincere apologies for the delay. It was in small part due to schedule clashes between Rosco and myself, but mainly due to a lot of recent unavailability on my part.

Riker 104 Rosco 100

Rarely do you see a game end with so few gaps in the landscape at this level. To state the obvious this could have gone either way, but the tiles fell my way crucially at the end of the game to get a couple of late farmers to steel the 24 point field (which Rosco had skilfully stolen from me when I started with a two meeple lead)

Rosco 72 Riker 95

For the first half of this game Rosco had one of the most horrible tile draws I had ever seen. I made the most of this trapping four meeples for a long period and getting a decent lead that I was then able to hold until the end of the game.

Thanks - really interesting write up. Our game was the most entertaining I had all day! I played Julia Bamber and encouraged her afterwards to join this community as she is a quality player. I was fortunate to beat her, even though I have been playing Carcassonne longer than she has been alive!

For all you do for Carcassonne you most definitely deserve a place at the World Championship. You were by far the best player I played all day. Despite having won it twice I feel I have a lot I can learn from you still. I'm sure it will be you year soon - now it is all two player games at the UK Championship I'm sure it will not be long.

Sorry I had to miss the semi final and final rounds - I had a UK Catan Championship to win the next day (and the Champions League final was on)!

Just recovering from the UKGE! Hoping to find a convinient time to play soon.

Riker 117 dronedrone 82

I felt like this game was going very wrong early doors but then I got a lovely run of useful city parts that enabled me to create a huge farm and then it was just a case of defending it. dronedrone misclicked a meeple on to a road at one point and that might have proved critical.

To state the obvious, this one could have gone either way! dronedrone was unlucky not to have completed the large city alone so it felt fair enough that the last few tiles fell in dronedrone's favour.

I've just about recovered from two exciting games this evening against Mr Numbers. Sorry - I messed up the screenshots. I also need to work out where and what "Slack" is so I can chat to opponents?

MrNumbers 89 Riker 99

This game came down to a 50/50 tile draw on the last go and I got lucky. Had the tiles been drawn the other way around I would have lost.

Riker 95 MrNumers 80

Again I felt I had much the better of the tile draw, particularly early on when I drew lots of finishing city pieces. Those early points can be seen in the final totals for cities.
