Strategy Guide / Re: Joining Fields« on: January 14, 2015, 02:33:16 PM »
A really nice article CarcinFool
I find that a bridge is a very powerful tool to use when you want to join fields. Maybe the use of bridges in this respect also should be mentioned in your article? 4

General / Re: What's your favourite way to play Carcassonne?« on: January 07, 2015, 12:13:36 PM »
I guess I fall directly on both of these two extremes, as I love both a small game with less than 100 tiles and the mega games with more than a 1000 tiles. So I didn’t vote
My girlfriend and I play small games 3-4 times a week (we kicked out the television set 6 years ago). When we play we mostly play the Car spin-offs and manage 2-3 games on an evening after dinner. Last year our favourite was The Hunters & Gatherers, but at the moment our favourites are The City and The Castle. Usually we only play mega-Car with friends. We are so lucky that we know two other couples that also like to play big games. But the mega-games take quite some time, so it only happens 4-5 times a year. We had an “intended” mega game now recently, when we stayed at a cabin in the mountains together with another couple between Christmas and New Year’s Eve. But it didn’t really get mega (se game report). Our next mega-game is planned in February over tree days with 4 players. We are hoping for bad weather and 30-40 hours of effective game-play 6

This is of course a matter of opinion, but for me a mega-game is with at least all the big expansion (1-9) and most of the small.

A really nice article danisthirty
A strategy guide would be awesome! But maybe it's an idea to just start with a collection of the different strategy-articles published here on the forum in one pdf-file with a table of contents. I have myself really enjoyed the previous articles: - Being Kind To Be Cruel - Cloister Blocking - Why, When and How - The Awesome Power of the Wagon A collection of articles like this will be very useful for members like me, which are rather new to the forum. I am sure there are more articles like these in the forum that I have missed. After a collection like this is completed it could be the next step to make it more streamlined. But in my humble opinion I think it would be easier to keep a collection of articles up to date, than a single document that is intended to cower it all. 8
General / Re: I love the postman...« on: January 06, 2015, 05:44:45 PM »
This arrived on Christmas evening as a little present to myself.
Got I through BGG for £34.75 including postage. Maybe a little expensive, but now my collection is complete (except La Porxada which I newer expect to get hold of ). EDIT: - Sorry, but I've removed the attachment from this post as HiG don't allow us to make official Carcassonne expansions freely available Sorry I thought that the low resolution of the scan made it ok. 9
Anything Else / Merry Christmas and a good new Car year« on: December 23, 2014, 05:04:19 PM »
I would like to thank you all for your participation and contributions to the forum. This forum is really inspiring. Lots of fan made expansions, member who helps other members to get hold of hard to get items, and of course the CAR - our bible!
I wish you all a merry Christmas and an inspiring new year. 10
General / Re: What's next« on: December 22, 2014, 10:11:25 AM »
I would like to see another 2 player stand alone game. Maybe a variation of the excellent game The Castle.
As I am a huge fan of mega-Car I would also love more expansion for the classic Car. But with all the creative fan-made expansions I think it will be hard to invent something fresh. I think HiG’s new bet will be, regrettably, with the new artwork. 11
