Merry Christmas!

I was able to open what my wife got me from Cundco. Also just in time for Christmas, the promo I ordered for her Cacao game came in.

Today my wife loves the postman.

I just discovered Santorini today (it's at the top of The Hotness on BGG) and I'm very interested too. Price is a little high, but I will have my eye on it for my birthday next year.

How are you enjoying it so far?

I recommend Santorini with a few copies of The Tower - I put a photo up somewhere!

Haven't played it yet. I will let you know hopefully sooner than later.

While I wait mine, and Jungleboy copies, of Santorini to arrive,

I've just received Fields of Green.

Although it was very well packed there are inoumerous reports of the inlay being damage on arrivil which I believe was mainly due to the sheer mass of the square decks.
Mine was considerible split on one of the sides but since I'm not a very big fan of this "Carcassonne" type inlay I'll probably do some custom DIY insert.

Component wise the cards are really good but the cardboard feels quite cheap with most of the smaller tokens getting damage on the unpunching operation.

The game arrived with two Among the Stars promo cards. Since I don't have it and I'm not thinking of buying it if someone want those please feel free to send a PM. I'll add an late entry on "Dan's Spare Bits Giveaway 2016" thread.

I love the postman! And I love Kettelfish, who kindly sent me the German Windrosen and a couple of other nice things. Happy new year to everybody, Carcassonne fans! emoji code4]

Oh yeah, we do love the postman! Just before 2016 ends, i got my order from Spielbox:

- Spielbox 2012/5 with "The Little Buildings" expansion
- Spielbox 2010/6 with "The Plague" expansion

For those still wanting these expansions, they are still available on the site of Nostheide: https://nostheide.de/webshop3/index.php?language=de
The editions with "The Cathars" and "The Tunnels" are sold out, helas...so still looking for these ones.

Also in the Spielbox 2010/6: a "Sonderkarte" of Wizard Extreme", in this case the Sonderkarte "Revolution". If someone is interested in that one, I don't need it, so you can have it for free.

Greetings and to everyone on this superb forum a happy, healthy and Carcassonny (yes, form now on that is a word) 2017.

Following the review from dirk2112 and the seal of aproval of my rarely joining the table financially advisor, colloquially referred to as Wife, I just received a copy of Potion Explosion:

Although sourced it locally I got the German version so if any of the of our German members is interested on the rulebook (in case they got their copies in a strange language just like I did) just sent a PM, I will gladly post it.

Let us know what you and your wife think. My wife prefers this to Santorini and she hasn't even opened her expansion for Cacao yet because of this game.

I should note, they did send us replacement marbles.

Oh cool, I was considering getting that but maybe I'll just play with your copy instead

I thought I'd share this now as most people have received theirs....So no Spoilers now...

A few months ago we had our 2nd #Gencant Competition - We had 2 two contests running in parallel and we had some prizes to numerous people for taking part.

I got to send those prizes out just before Christmas - here they all are:

Thanks again to everyone who took part!

Whoa

for the cool contest and prize.

@ me for entirely missing the posts about it.

Always worth keeping an eye on the front page for going's on:

It was a lovely surprise getting my tile. Great competition, great prize. Many thanks for your efforts Decar!

WOW! I love the tree with birds tiles! I'm assuming these are homemade? Incredible! Plus I finally realized Dan is 30 cause I zoomed in on the tile! All this time I thought Dan is thirsty with his cute meeple holding a mug!
