Yes indeed only rosco and me did not really needes the tile

I don't really have much interest in that city now either. Since I've spent most of the game trying to get my second knight into it, and failing to draw the required tile, now it seems very unlikely that I'll join it so I'd probably rather it stays closed.

It was nevertheless a good move by him, wasn't it? Putting the tile in it's "appropriate" area would just benefit him an extra point for his robber plus getting him back, what is not that big a deal with only two more tiles to place and still one follower in reserve. On the other side, two robbers from Yellow are also blocked, and he has everybody on the board.

Yeah, if I was in Rosco's position I would have done the same thing...

Your turn Dan:)

So it is...

It really didn't feel like there was much I could do with this tile, so this is my best effort.

End of round 12 (of 14)

>> Yellow (10): {} MrNumbers (14): {

} SRBO (22): {

} Rosco (18 ): {

} danisthirty (22): {

}

Did you intentionally set the photo to be dark and gloomy? To stir up emotions? It did a little in me, kinda cool, in an emotional way. Or it could be just me, details and interpretations.

Absolutely. I had it lit like this to reflect my mood regarding how this game is going for me...

Also, my phone has been somewhat overworked today and didn't have enough battery left to take a photo with the flash on when this was taken. Hence that the picture is quite dark as the game is setup in the corner of my garage (which is becoming increasingly difficult to access but that's another matter)

Lucky you! I have to re-build the whole map before every turn!

This doesn't mean I forgive you for not sharing your city with me. If only we'd included the fliers I could have flown right into it!

I'll see about my turn today. Promises and promises. Something I promised myself not to give.

Hi Yellow,
Where is your turn?

I think so. There's only 2-3 tiles left each to draw. Maybe last tile layed during Midnight into 2015.

Yesterday I was not free until 2 am, at which I decided, or rather my body did, to crash into bed. Can only hope today is less work.

Paul · « **Reply #296 on:** November 28, 2014, 07:58:18 AM »

Sorry guys! $:-\$

Going to dive into work and things starting in a few mins and will not be free until tomorrow afternoon. During which I won't be able to pop in here or do my move.

But, when I do my move, tomorrow evening, there will be something fun in the picture as I often done before.

A suggestion to streamline the playing of the game.

Requirements
A text table with a 20 X 20 playing surface grid ( recommend using Apache Open Office as it is free and will work)

A PDF with the tile images for the base game showing a number code for each tile and 4 rotated versions of the tile graphic.

A PDF with meeple graphics

A spreadsheet showing the numbered tiles in a random draw sequence

Process

each player has a copy of the the documents.

Game organizer sends out the spreadsheet with the tile draw sequence for the new game.

Each player in turn selects the tile number from the tile master PDF, copies the image and pastes it to the document.

Player can then select a meeple image from the meeple PDF and paste it onto the document

Player can then email the document or just state which tile and orientation he used and what square on the playing grid he placed it and what meeple if any was placed on the tile.

This way you could play multiple games at the same time saving each game under a different document name

I can send the first draft of the components to anyone who is interested or I can post it on the forum

I think that sounds very good but way too time consuming for me. I do not have time to do all that. With the way we do it, it takes 2 minutes to add the extra tiles and meeples, draw your tile and lay your tile and meeple. It does require a spare base set to do it my way but I would struggle to take part any other way.
