Marram is a new game (2020) that mirrors some Carcassonne mechanics, but takes things further - reversible tiles, opponents tile visible, lay 2 out of 3 tiles etc. It is not yet out in physical form, but it can be played on Board Game Arena

A detailed review of the game is available at BGG https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/2439048/complex-game-belongs-board-game-universe-its-own-r

Congrats Dan! It is a really interesting write up! Hope I can play with you in person one day!

Thanks Uhome. That would be good!

Official results from the event can be found here.

Hells Bells, I finished 9th!! Really happy with that.

I did thanks Dan! I'm the grey haired dude behind you in your photo of game 4.  I'm following your advice so hopefully will be better this time next year. I'm concentrating on the basic game - it already is a perfect game for me, and I don't need rivers abbots or pigs to detract from building experience  :)

This was an interesting experience for me.

I took up Carcassonne at the start of this year, and really enjoy the basic game. As I was going to the Birmingham event I thought I would enter the UK championships and ended with 4-3 record - much better than my goal of just winning a game!

Clearly there is something of a gulf between my style of play and that demonstrated by Dan and Ven Gee Lee. I only had one common opponent with Dan, Roma, and she too good for me.
