KJW-Signed Tile Giveaway
« on: June 13, 2018, 06:09:24 AM »
Yo dudes! :(y)

It's been a while since I gave anything away, which is largely because my supply of "spare bits" has dwindled somewhat over recent years owning to previous giveaways and my total lack of any disposable income to replace anything. However, I am currently in possession of a number of tiles in both old and new artwork editions which have been signed by the main man himself - Klaus-Jürgen Wrede – that I'm looking to share with the community here.

I will be making these tiles available to anyone who doesn't already have one (so please be honest!) and will allocate them on a first come first served basis once I've posted here with a photo of the tiles that are up for grabs. If you'd like to claim one, please post here on this thread about your last game of Carcassonne along with any relevant details such as what colour you played, which expansions you included (if any) and who you're no longer speaking to as a result of events that transpired in the game. >:D

On a final note, all tiles will be free to a good home as long as this is what you intend to provide and aren't looking for something to put on eBay. :( :(n)

Stay tuned! :blue-meeple:

Thanks dude!!!

My last game was an element mashup with abbots, pigs, circus tents, and abbeys. Pictures below. I was RED per usual, was losing by a hair to my partner (Green) and then those damn circus animals added insult to injury ... I was fuming, but we're still on speaking terms   ;D

Final score: 298 green to 240 red

* we used the vineyard tiles from Hills & Sheep as Abbot gardens, and spare BC&B / Catapault tiles for the circus tent

If you go to the left - you'll find death.
If you go to the right - you'll lose your horse.
If you go straight - you'll live, but will forget who you are.

Very generous of you, Dan. Thank you in advance. Hopefully I'll be in time to claim one and tell about my last Carcassonne game (which I won,  :green-meeple: :green-meeple: :green-meeple:)

Hi Dan:

Very generous of you!  I would love to get a signed old art tile as I do not have one.

The last game I played was with my son and we were playing just the base game plus T&B and I&C.  I was playing blue.  After an epic battle over a large farm, my son beat me.  :( 

Thanks again!!!

Hi Dan,

What a kind and generous offer.

Our last game was while my wife and I were on holiday for a few days in the far reaches of the north west (of Scotland) in a nice little hotel - sadly the room we had looked out the back on grassy slopes, instead of the front of house view over the sea. Unfortunately, the tables in the residents lounge were too small (they were large enough for chess and scrabble, which were provided), and we didn't think that the diners would want the two of us playing Carc while they had their quiet romantic dinner, etc. So we headed back to our room where we didn't even have a table. But, by laying the large mirror on top of the foldable suitcase stand, we had an ideal size, but a limit to how far the land could extend. I'm sorry but I don't have a photo of a real game, but below is a mock up I made during the afternoon just to see if it would work. Before we left we did our best to clean the mirror as it was covered with lots and lots of fingerprints - what might the hotel staff have thought we were doing to cause that ...???

If I remember correctly, we pre-laid the section of coast (as shown), then started the actual game with laying out the river sections back to their sources, then carried on with the base game tiles, including a handful of things like inns, wells and gardens to try to fill up the mirror a bit more.

Hi Dan,

Could I please have the plain cloisters tile in original artwork?

To follow up on my original posting, the tile layout on the mirror was a sort of solo game. After placing the coast and river I pulled each tile from a bag and starting at the bottom right corner, and working horizontally to the left and then up row by row, placed the drawn tile in the first legal location. If multiple alignments (such as road corner or 3-way junction, then my choice. The idea was to build up the landscape without having any gaps. As shown, that didn't work and I think I missed one valid placement towards the end.

Thanks.
W.
