A second win of the night and just as tight and tense as the last one from my point of view.

Thanks again to Dan for hosting, game didn't crash this time.

Was it 30 tiles before the first Tower tile was played?

 :yellow-meeple: Chuck and I had a very tight game which I managed to sneak with the last tile closing the city at the top, claim the road and add to the farm and then edge ahead by a mere 5 points.

Thanks to Dan for hosting and restarting when JCZ hung midway through the game.

Enjoyed the loss to Chuck a couple of weeks ago which gave my erstwhile opponent his first friendly win.  It was a close game that I couldn't close out.  I see you've started winning tournament matches too.  Keep it up and I hope we play out Tower B match soon.

p.s. does this count as a 'weekly game' or is there an 'official' weekly game that I need to locate to get on the 'Order of the Meeple' radar?

I played Over Hill and Dale for the first time this weekend.  It's amazing how a different nuance can be added to the same base concept and for it to feel removed enough to not be a straight clone.  The tokens are straight out of traders and builders, the stables are 3D monasteries but the fact that meeples can take a hike is new to me.

I built a 4 tile road and scored 12 hiking points before my daughter closed the road for me.  Spoilsport.

All good fun and a great addition to my burgeoning spin off collection.

I went for New World / Mayflower.  It worked really well with 5 of us playing at Thirsty Meeples, it's great that the scoreboard doubles as the start tile.

South Seas is fun but it didn't get my vote.

Wow, what time are you two playing.....I can probably do same time tomorrow night, as a one off if you fancy it NY1050220?

Any evening good for you this week Chuck & Monwil.

Carcassonne is a great tile laying game with infinite expansionability.  It has been reduced to a travel version, reinvented as Carcassonne II, colour changed for the Winter Edition and had luck added in the Wheel of Fortune.  But these are all different flavours with the same playability as the vanilla version we all love and return to again and again.

Variants on a theme are all very well but the tile laying concept can be taken much further, and has been by Hans im Gluck and other companies too.  This series of polls is for the forum to offer thoughts on which is their preferences and why.  I am only including spinoffs by Hans im Gluck through various distributers in this series.

The poll is open for 7 days and then another will be offered up for comments.  It may well be that the 3rd option gets most votes but it'll be the spinoff with the majority that progresses to the next round.

Gutted when I drew these 2 against each other as I enjoy both.  I'm trying to get hold of a copy of The City after playing it for the first time at Thirsty Meeples.

I've played Goldrush many times and with The Sheriff added it definitely gets played often.

The wooden walls element tipped the vote to The City for me.
