The Slack channel is still available, but Discord appears to have taken over recently.
I was unaware of either until now.
Is there any benefit to being present on either/both? I'm concerned it might dilute the community here if I/we move on to other platforms?

Nonetheless an invite to the discord would be appreciated.

The Slack channel has been running for several years and has had very little impact on the forum. The Discord has only been going for a month or two, and you will need an invitation from Decar or Danisfifty I believe.

I wondered why it was so quiet ...

It is still in use (I am on there every day), but most of the chat has now been transferred.

P&D sounds good fun to me. Perhaps we could add in the Count just for Halfling?

Any reason why this can't be played on JCZ like in the good old days? If so, I am in.

Sounds like an excellent idea. When I get a chance from Dragon Dice refereeing duties, I will be joining in.

Well that's crap!  I did struggle to understand the rules although only skim reading them probably didn't help

Snap! I didn't bother reading about the -20 for the farmers either. Though that I had done well and was really proud - until I read the rules!

An excellent score....but:

  • Any player meeple that remain on the board penalize the player -20 points; including player’s farmers.

So I count:
  • -15 for cloisters.
  • -8 for farms
  • -7 for your farmers (21 + 12 - 40)

For a total of -30.

Taking your score to: 114—Still amazing and you demonstrate that 120 is achievable!!

Congrats Rosco!

Just thinking of what might have been achieved if Rosco had a bigger table!  >:D

Sounds interesting - I will give it a try

It is very interesting. In fact, attached is one I made earlier - looks like a battlefield, but is actually a very friendly game!  ;D

Other Games / Dragon Dice
« on: June 30, 2019, 12:48:56 PM »
Apart from organising and playing in Carcassonne tournaments on here, I thought that one or two members might be interested in my other passion, Dragon Dice, for which I produce a blog, thanks to Decar's hosting.

It is, as it says, a dice game, which is not everyone's cup of tea, and has historically had mediocre reviews on BGG.

In October last year, the Version 4 rules were produced, and the game has been largely streamlined and re-written and is now an excellent, if not cheap, pastime.

The blog can be found using the link below and, if anything whets your appetite for the game, please let me know and I will answer any questions that you have.

We are sadly lacking players in the UK, and I am desperately looking for other like-minded people to join our small band of merry men, currently mainly based in USA, Australia and England (although I represent Scotland and have a friend in Belgium that plays).

Ok one and all! Summer is here and Danisthirty is leading both this and the base game league.

What are we going to do about this sorry state of affairs? We are going to play our matches and knock him off the top, that's what!!!

Who is available next week? You can't all be knitting socks for baby!!

Are any matches arranged yet in this league? Everything appears very quiet at the moment.  :'(

Fixtures

Each player is to play a single two-person game of Carcassonne using JCloisterZone against each of the other players in the division. The starting date will be today Monday 3rd June 2019 and all games must be played and the results posted on this thread before midnight GMT on Friday 27th September 2019. The starting player in each case will be chosen at random.

The tile set for each game will consist of the base game and each of the competitors' chosen expansions, i.e. two expansions are to be used in every match.

The Division

As a result of each match, each player will be awarded league points according to the following rules:-

Most game points for roads – 1 point
Most game points for cities – 1 point
Most game points for cloisters – 1 point
Most game points for farms – 1 point
Most game points overall (formerly referred to as 'a win') – 1 point
Tying any of the above with opponent – 0.5 points

This means that all matches have 5 points available to be distributed to the two players.

A league table with points gained from matches played will be maintained and regularly posted to this thread by the tournament organiser.

The top ranked two players after all matches have been played will be declared 'Champion' and 'Runner-up' respectively. The lowest ranked two players will be eligible for relegation.

In addition to the Champion and Runner-up, the following will be awarded:-

The Brave Brigand – the player with the most league points for roads
The Knoble Knight – the player with the most league points for cities
The Crafty Cleric – the player with the most league points for cloisters
The Fruitful Farmer – the player with the most league points for farms
The Triumphant Tiler – the player with the most league points for winning games

After each match, it is the winner's responsibility to ensure that the result is posted to this thread clearly showing the points awarded separately for Roads, Cloisters, Cities and Farms.
