Hi all,
Hope you all have enjoyed a good summer vacation.
It's been a while (June 27th
:o) since I don't share with you the latest updates to WICA.
Hope you may find interesting a new treat we added, the online
Land Surveyor Simulator (available on the Main Page, section Tools), that will allow you to play this expansion without creating the scoring tiles and getting your hands dirty...
You may also find some additional pages translated into Dutch (by Kiap1969), French (by Black Bear), German (by Murphy013), Romanian (by Carcassonne93).
A number of visual improvements have been introduced too: images of box covers, punchboards of mini expansions, general layout of C2 pages,... Murphy013 is working hard to collect images for every published box and mini. Some of the results are already visible in all pages.
Regarding contents, an on-going improvement process is taking place as to wording and the addition of clarifications in text and with examples... The input of the team is being invaluable; while translating, they are also proofreading the C2 pages. You may also see the myriad of questions posted as comments on many pages by Carcassonne93 and some visitors that may point out the need for corrections or additional clarifications. Thank you all for your enthusiasm!
