I am sorry but this is a really bad idea.

Everyone should know that the principle use of an empty Carcassonne big box is to use it to hide all of the other Carcassonne box base games and expansions that you have purchased.

That way it is not obvious to the rest of your family just how many copies of the game you have spent good money on.

Unless you man up and seize control of your own personal hobby. "Woman! My expansion costs 10 Euro, how much does your cheapest pair of shoes cost?" Instant win.

I can't find the image on boardgamegeek.com to link the "30" made out of boxes source. I usually do this but slipped my mind this time around.

But in my pursuit for the missing link I found this:

Src: https://boardgamegeek.com/image/1629200/m-knox?size=large
Font can be downloded here: https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/89695/carcassonne-icons-font (need to be a member there)

A font with icons from the Carcassonne board game world.

Thanks for the link Paul. Anyone have a problem loading this on a Mac? When I loaded it there was a message; 1 serious error. Do not install.

MrsPaul: "Paul, I've just been checking our bank balance. Did you spend $800,000 last week?"

"Umm, no. Must be a mistake or something"

MrsPaul: "Are you sure? It says something about 'Cundco' whatever that is?"

"I don't know what you're talking about! I'm going for a bath..."

MrsPaul: "Fine. You'll have to move all of those tiles out of the bath tub though, otherwise they'll get wet"

"I didn't say I was going to bathe in water"

OMG

Spot on, except for one thing... I would never deny the purchase.

Start going down that path and you will find another use for the Carcasonne Big Box - sleeping in it

I am with you there Loki. Dan can confirm this.

Wow, what women you guys have. Poor you.

Then again, I am not married, but I did have a family life ages ago and we set ground rules from day one before moving in. Even today in this household we have rules, sadly most of them never followed by other. I feel like I am the wife because I love shopping and I can't stand the house not being clean.

Actually my wife has never said a word about my Carcassonne, I just know that I did not really need that third copy of Abbey and Mayor or that second Big Box 5 to go along with my Big Box 2. I have always had a thing about wanting spare parts and backup copies. With HiG discontinuing the original artwork and the stuff selling out at all the local (and not so local) stores it seems to have gotten a little out of hand.

Some people cannot resist picking up kittens and puppies, I guess I feel the same way about that chubby little Mayor on the front of the box.
