Reviews & Session Reports / Another close-to-mega Carcassonne II game
« on: April 30, 2017, 09:22:23 PM »
Hi,

Thought I would share the final board from our four-player Carcassonne II game which included the base game plus the Festival, River, Inns and Cathedrals, Traders and Builders, Princess and the Dragon, Abbey and Mayor, Watchtowers, Labyrinth and Essen tiles. (The only other tiles I own are the Japanese buildings, but we worried about the huge scoring effect these have on the game and, more practically, didn't want to hunt through the pile of tiles we'd already assembled to remove the original monasteries.)

My girlfriend and I were played against another couple who are big Carcassonne fans but hadn't played with all of the expansions before, so we definitely had an advantage and both pulled away using the barns. In the end I was overtaken by my girlfriend in the final scoring with her impressive extra fields. I am red, she is yellow. Everyone enjoyed it, though!

Official Rules / Princess and the Dragon - Rule Clarifications
« on: November 15, 2016, 08:55:19 PM »
Hi,

My girlfriend and I just finished playing our first game of the Princess and the Dragon expansion (new edition) and we have a few questions! Apologies if they are very newbie :)

We played as if the answer was 'yes' to all 5 questions:

1. After the dragon is drawn, can you move the fairy before the dragon starts to move?
(Rationale: yes, because you can place a meeple, and moving the fairy is equivalent.)

2. Can you move the fairy to a feature which is about to be completed and scored (and gain 3 extra points)?
(Rationale: same as above)

3. If you remove an Abbot from an incomplete monastery or garden while it is protected by the fairy, do you score an additional 3 points?
(Rationale: yes, because the rules say you can an additional 3 points when the feature is 'scored', not completed)

4. If you score an incomplete feature at the end of the game which is protected by the fairy, do you score an additional 3 points?
(Rationale: same as above)

5. Can you use the magic portal to take a monastery or garden which is 'incomplete' but was previously scored by someone's Abbot?
(Rationale: yes, because it is still incomplete)

Let us know if we've got any of this wrong!
