Waste of meeples
« on: September 08, 2014, 11:11:17 AM »
Lately when im playing with my little bro's or gf, i notice that the almost never use some of the meeples.
Funny because they find it out way to late so making me a winner at the last turns.

simply because i did use the barn, shepherd, pig and the Count-expansion.
They just really ALWAYS forget it.. Lol.
In some cases i also am the only one with a farmer.

so do you also notice the same with your carcompanions?

This is a common flaw in my community with the megaCarc games.

We (yes including me!) usually forget these:
- The Bridge
- The Abbey
- The barn
- The Castles (much less these days, though)
- The Phantom
- The Mayor (much less as well these days)

As we still play with eight regular followers, having the Messenger occupying the scoreboard alone, we are very restrictive using farms the first 500 tiles we draw.
  By then we are so lost into the huge board and fatigued by the long time running (the game) we forget to place them (farmers) out.  :@

Hahaha, i know the feeling.. (although i never played with 500 tiles yet) and when you forget that you have an unfinished project somewhere..
