Having been nearly the last to finish round one I am pleased to be the first player to finish game 2.

Bekse 80 Riker 74
Riker 110 Bekse 94

The first game was two tiles away from completion with Bekse set to win when the game disappears. We agreed the score would most likely have been 80 - 74. Bekse cleverly created a 50/50 chance to guarantee a big farm and I could not catch up tinkering around the edges with other points. Sorry, no screenshot because the game seemed to stop working.

In game two I feel sure I had much the better of the tile draw as I kept seeming to get pieces I needed while Bekse got long runs of unhelpful tiles. As a result I was able to dominate a big farm and add extra cities to it near the end.

I feel like I am playing a bit slower than my two opponents so far. Sorry in advance if you feel my play is slow!

TheSteveAllen and I played this evening. A most unfriendly game played in good spirits, as Carcassonne should be. Thanks to Steve for his patience on missing him last night and with me still getting to grips with the interface.

The tile draw was in my favour in game 1, which saw me getting a lot of cloisters. While final scoring was very even I had gained enough in game lead to take the win.

In game 2 Steve made some clever endgame play, using his tile knowledge effectively to take a 21 point field. The tile draw had turned in Steve's favour this time - at one point I drew 7 plain roads in a row.

I was online later than expected this evening and so I think I've missed TheSteveAllen. I'm sure we'll rearrange soon though.
