With just 52 1/4 hours to go until the next weekly online game it’s hard to believe that there’s nobody in the chat room already, counting down the seconds before it all kicks off! We should probably determine who’s going to be playing and which expansions we’re going to use as well though, so I’ll get the ball rolling:

I’ll be there!
I nominate Princess & Dragon be included

jungleboy? B1nder? Rosco? MrNumbers? Everyone else?

Also, it’s probably worth noting that I’m still on JCZ 3.0.1 but can upgrade if the majority prefer to use the most recent release. As far as I can tell, the only difference between 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 is an update to the tower rules that allows you to ~~choose which meeple is returned to you in the event that a meeple for meeple exchange takes place between players~~ capture an abbot from a tower. So unless we are using the tower (and the German monasteries) this shouldn’t affect the game.

I'm in

The element of the week is the abbey, so Abbey and Mayor is in. If P&D is in, adding the German monasteries could be fun. They're very valuable so they could be nice and yummy for a hungry dragon - if there's no bug between these two expansions.

Any other suggestions?

If we have got "eating" expansion, why don't we include something nice, like Flier?

Also I suggest to include Cult. I want to try to use tricky technics that doesn't allow Abbey placement near two (or more) adjacent shrines

Sounds like this is going to be another interesting game, and why not add the King and robber baron just for the fun of it

OK, so:

A&M
P&D
German Monasteries
Flier
Cult
King and Robber Baron

That seems like enough, doesn't it? I vote for leaving out the Phantom for once.

Not really of course. OK then, no phantom. At least then there won't be any princesses and phantoms working together to lure away and steal cities! This seems like quite a good setup provided we're all happy to start with the starter tile from the base game...?

I just want to see what you can do without resorting to phantom trickery

Scores so far:
(I wanted an excuse to make a table)

	B1nder	danisthirty	jungleboy	MrNumbers	Rosco
9th October 2014 :	-	250	257	279	-
16th October 2014 :	125	236	130	-	-
23rd October 2014 :	69	108	90	-	129
30th October 2014 :	194	220	94	-	-
TOTAL :	388	814	571	279	129

Obviously the totals don't represent anything as some have played more games than others. I just thought it might be an idea to keep track of everything in one place, and the statistician in me added the "Total" column while the rest of me wasn't looking.

We could do a similar tally/ count for expansions used so we can see which turn out to be the most popular?

Not long to go now! My plan is to finish work in about an hour, head to the shop to buy pizza and Pepsi Max (I can’t play Carcassonne with this), get home, wave goodbye to my wife as she heads off for an evening with her friends, put the kids to bed, eat my pizza and then pour myself a big drink and psyche myself up for the game.

Is everyone else still up for it? Last count there were going to be 5 of us this week, and I really like the expansions we’re using this week too...
