Edit: My JCZ seems to have a problem with the Little Buildings. I can not click on the symbol next to the meeple and I can not chose which sort of building to pick. After spamming many clicks on various tiles, JCZ places a building, but it is not visible. What is wrong here - can anyone help?

I've also had a lot of trouble using the little buildings on JCZ. It seems to have worked well for me with older versions of JCZ, but not with the latest.

Decar, perhaps we could eliminate the little buildings? It would still keep the tile count the same.

Why every time when it gets to final I got to play Castles, bridges and bazaars.. Just hate this expansion.))

I'm not fond of Bridges Castle Bazaars either..... except for the bridges. I love the bridges. It seems that even when I play with castles I hardly use them. Also, every time I've played with the bazaars, all of the players voted to just draw/choose tiles and omit the bidding to make things less complicated. I guess I'll have to re-read the bidding rules to make sure I know what I'm doing.

I think in a competitive 4-player we need the bidding for balancing the points. Otherwise it can be pretty unfair if one player can chose more often one out of four tiles for free than the others.
Concerning the bidding rules you can imagine it maybe with a game of poker (if you leave the blinds):
Player A drawing the bazaar has the dealer button
Player B tile selection and bid
Player C raise or pass
Player D raise or pass
Player A raise or pass
Player B buy or sell
Player C tile selection and bid
...
...
Player B places tile first

Ok, it has few to do with poker

But bazaar = dealer button is maybe helpful

I also like the bridges a lot, it can help in many ways. The castles I also use rarely because the best placement possibilites occure rarely. But in a 4-player it maybe makes sense to use it even in not the best occasions, especially in combination with P&D and a hungry dragon when castle meeples are safe.

Bazaar should be played with standard rules, as Adrornalin says there are a lot of tiles in the game; Bazaars can help you mitigate certain effects, as long as can calculate the rewards correctly!

It looks like I have an issue with Little Buildings too:

As there are issues, let's remove Little Buildings.

It mat be advisable to try some practise games if you're not confident with all the rules.

Adrornalin · « **Reply #183 on:** August 26, 2016, 06:10:02 PM »

I'm always available for a practise game with the next rounds expansions.

Adrornalin · « **Reply #184 on:** August 29, 2016, 01:40:24 PM »

hello guys, whats up with our 4-player? can we find a suitable time for everyone? please make some suggestions. thx!

What If? · « **Reply #185 on:** August 29, 2016, 02:36:19 PM »

I´ll play any evening euro-time (18-24) or during week-ends anytime. I´m as flexible as my life is dull.

JoeSesquipedalian · « **Reply #186 on:** August 29, 2016, 06:37:19 PM »

Saturday and Sunday work best for me. Friday I can play after 2pm EDT (UCT -4), which is after 6pm or 7pm in Western Europe.

daliles · « **Reply #187 on:** August 31, 2016, 01:02:19 AM »

Saturday, Sunday work best for me as well.
Saturday I am unavailable between 3pm and 7pm Central time. (I am GMT - 5.)

Thank you,
Don

Adrornalin · « **Reply #188 on:** August 31, 2016, 06:20:22 PM »

Then lets play the "group alpha" 4-player on coming Friday 7pm euro time? WhatIf is in, Joe is in, Adrornalin is in - Skane, are you in as well?

Skane · « **Reply #189 on:** August 31, 2016, 07:55:30 PM »

If You all could start at 6pm, I would try to get in, otherwise will no be available till sunday.

Update: nop, I can't manage it on Friday.

Adrornalin · « **Reply #190 on:** September 01, 2016, 02:47:03 PM »

Coming Sunday on 4pm or 5pm euro time?

Clownfeet · « **Reply #191 on:** September 01, 2016, 03:07:41 PM »

it may be best if someone sets up a doodle for this and sends it round? as i am unfortunately away this weekend yet again (its wedding season!!) midweek is much better for me, monday night coming up works for me (uk time)

What If? · « **Reply #192 on:** September 01, 2016, 03:16:43 PM »

I can play from tomorrow friday evening and all weekend, eurotime, any hours. If I don´t answer the p ropositions above it´s because I´m ok with all of them. If you schedulr for tomorrow I might be quite drunk at the time...

Adrornalin · « **Reply #193 on:** September 01, 2016, 05:35:04 PM »

I transferred you in group alpha by mistake, WhatIf, sorry. But if you have lot of time we can play a friendly match with this rounds expansions. Just send me a pm or check the irc channel.

Okay, scheduling becomes difficult. Joe = weekend, Clownfeet = midweek. Seems that you both should find a target date. For me it will be okay, I'm sure. Hopefully for Skane as well. Thanks

Skane · « **Reply #194 on:** September 03, 2016, 10:56:29 AM »

I want to let You know, that next two weeks I will not be able to play in workdays.
I think I will have time to play our game on one of the weekend day,
Currently I know that tomorrow and next Sunday I could manage to play.
