You're missing The City! Well, and the smaller games—Cardcassonne, Carcassonne Travel Edition, and Carcassonne Dice Game.

Yesterday, in a very special box  ::)  ;) I received them, I finally them in all colors.

A knight is sworn to valour.
His heart knows only virtue.
His blade defends the helpless.
His might upholds the weak.
His word speaks only truth.
His wrath undoes the wicked.

 :white-meeple: My works.

File this in: I hate the postman.

I just got home from work to find a note in my mailbox that I need to go to the post office to pick up a package. That's what happens here when the package is too big for the mailbox. But you can't pick up the package on the same day that you get the note - it's only available starting from the next day. But I'm going to the UK for the weekend, and it's a long weekend. So that means I won't get the package until Tuesday.

And what is this package, you ask?

THE TUNNELS!!!

So hopefully on Tuesday, I will have a complete collection.*

(*As I see it. There are still a few things missing.)

Thanks to kettlefish, the German Castles arrived the other day (as I've posted elsewhere). It's been a long time since I've last played Carcassonne, but it inspired me to so much I went and bought Hills & Sheep today! Edit: And both sets of monasteries...

Very excited to try both expansions...

Hey kettlefish, your gift arrived today in excellent condition. Quick delivery time! I'll save the tiles for rare games with more than eight players as I don't plan to use Klaus's tile at all. Thanks!

yes, the city and the discovery too! I have the dice game but I'm not really interested in cardcassonne or the travel edition...

And with the magazine too!

I hope the wait was worth it and that you enjoy this expansion as much as you've always hoped!  :)

You may certainly ask :)

Recently I have seen it going for over £50

It was less than £50.

Oh, alright, fine, you talked me into it. €49.

I received this morning 5 shirt pieces, thanks to ooh_jim. I had not told my wife and she wondered what could well be these little shirts. She doesn't find the link with Carcassonne, until I take the box to put them in.

I took a look on BGG and saw three copies - one for €49, one for €80 and one for €120. So I figured that €49 wasn't too bad and it coincided with my new box so I was happy to get them at the same time.

Whilst I don't blame the postman, I object to his employers' business practices
