So, my last game in the second round finally gave me some sweet victory. I played Daliles and after an early farmer met another early farmer the field was mine, and victory as well. When, however, Daliles managed to close the larger city in the south (unchallenged as I never thought he was going to close it), it became exciting.

In the end however I won 277-221.

If Decar wants a screenshot, Decar shall have one! (As soon as I get this damned shrinking thing to work for me)

No screenshot :(

You'll have to play again :p

Only joking, it wiuld have been interesting to see how the monasteries and farms panned out. It sounded like a close game, even if the scores don't reflect it.

Played game against Clownfeet which I lost 207-149.

Was an odd game for me.  Usually I like to trap maples and didn't catch a single one.

In the end it looked like it was coming down to the big farm but my double maple never got it.  the tile I needed went to clown feet with 4 tiles to go! 

enjoyed the game and chatting as it turned out we had met previously at the UKgames expo.

Thanks for the screenshot - I noticed something strange, perhaps I missed something.  Why did Daliles German Monastery only score 7 points, and not 14 points?  At first I thought it was because of the witch, but then I noticed it was in the incomplete city to the north, so wouldn't have taken effect.

Any ideas?

I'll check some of the other results too.

Thanks for trying - that is slightly too small. Upload the image at full size and then do the following :

Code: [Select]
[img width=200] URL to image [/img]
There is a maximum file size of 512KB to any uploads, a typical resolution can be scaled by 50-25% to fit decently.

I'm interested in seeing the German Monasteries scoring.

Good question. I think this has to be a bug. I have no other explanation. Daliles placed the tile first, then I placed the monastery right next to him, which score is correct. Strange thing!

Edit: There is another scoring bug with the monasteries in the game Joe vs daliles. The blue monastery in the north shows 8 pts score, but it has to be 10 pts. In both cases there is an unused german monastery next to it. Maybe it has something to do with? But even if the unused monastery cuts the points row, the result is incorrect.

played my second game of the night against Daromar.

I took the game 191 - 158

it was a tight game, i took a small early lead as Daromar packed the bases. but he managed to wiggle them all out and i couldn't trap any. There was a lot of points back and forth on small roads and other bits and pieces. Darmoar trapped my meeple up top in the crazy city and there were a few pieces left behind due to tiles not coming out. But in the end i managed to link the two major fields on the left and right. That secured me the victory.

a great game!
must...collect...more...tiles....

It's just a normal monk (cloister surrounded by 6 tiles = 7 pts). If you zoom in you see that the meeple is standing.

Scoring is correct. A regular monk was placed there.

Finished my game with daromar.

That was interesting game. At the beginning when daromar stolen from me that 33 points city, I thought it is over,
luck is not on my side today, because he also had real chances to finish that second city with Cathedral.
But then all changed, I successfully started blocking his workers, first two I blocked with one move at the bottom of the map.
Then I ruined that second cathedral city, Then I placed good German Monasteries (at the top), then occupied two good farmers fields,
Connected and shared good roads with inns. At the end finished 4 good cities, 3 around my field on left side and middle top city. So After that stolen city, my game just got unstoppable power.
Thank You daromar and good luck in next rounds.  :violet-meeple:

 :violet-meeple: Skane (206) : :blue-meeple: daromar (129)
