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
General / Re: What defines "Mega-Carcassonne"?« on: January 07, 2015, 09:38:49 AM »
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

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 ![]() 9

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
