Great to hear from you again Mandy!

Shipwrights is deceptive...it looks like a 20minutes game but can take a really long time.  I read somewhere a 5p game took 3hours!?!?!  I'm considering making some alternate rules for some cards to speed up play for 2p. Raiders and Explorers are much nearer their estimated times!  Looking forward to Architects too!

Thanks Decar .... I did think of reducing the number of built ships to 3.  But last night, he was already on 12 points with 3 ships and me just 8 with 3 ships :(  I got my Drakkar built to end the game with 14 points :) We've add the Townsfolk expansion, but haven't really made much use of it, yet, so that might speed things up.

I was thinking of adding an endgame card into the deck after the first cycle.  We find that we're both waiting for the right card to come out but the take-that element can really slow each other down.  The townfolk board helps somewhat but the endgame state can be hard to achieve.  Will let you know when we've finished tinkering!

Happy Easter btw!

Had a visit from the postman today!
He was a bit later than expected, but we just finished dinner so he wasn't interupting :P

Got a few things for Halfling (check your PM!), and some little things for myself :)
The Sheriff expansion for Goldrush was still missing from my collection, and off course i needed the Fruit Trees, can't wait to try those out!
And with Cundco's Easter Promotion, I now have a copy of My First Carcassonne for cheap (=Free!) :D
Happy days :)

Not my most exciting Cundco order, but it's nice to finally have all the alternate colors. Too bad I waited too long and the "natural" set is sold out.

No photo I am afraid but today I received a nice package from cundco.  Including princess and dragon, bridges castles and bazaars, gold rush, fruit trees and the missing tower tiles and a bonus free edition of children of Carcassonne.

I now have a nearly complete collection of spinoffs.
