Unofficial Rules / Re: Allowing follower placement on ANY unclaimed tile

« on: March 25, 2017, 11:38:13 AM »

I guess the pro-argument is more options to choose from in the "place wood" phase, and all the gardens get scored eventually since if you don't claim it, someone else will on their turn.  I personally don't like it, but this is how they play and I'm having trouble convincing them to try it the "right" way...  So looking for either good arguments I can use why there way doesn't work as good or is less fun, or if maybe I'm wrong and they are onto something I'm just not seeing yet

Unofficial Rules / Allowing follower placement on ANY unclaimed tile

« on: March 25, 2017, 08:12:59 AM »

I would like to get some feedback from others regarding a house rule I recently ran across, where players are allowed to place a follower onto any unclaimed feature after laying a tile on their turn, rather than being restricted to placing a follower on the tile they just laid.  It seems to change the game a lot, especially with the abbots as all gardens get claimed quickly.  Has anybody else played this way, and if so, what problems did you run across?  Is it a good idea or a terrible one, and why?

General / Re: Where to people print fan-made tiles? How?

Just a thought I haven't tried yet, but WalMart will print a jpg onto a 16"x20" board for $16, seems to be about the same thickness as Carc tiles...  It's a bit more expensive but for those who really want the best result, it's worth looking into.
