wow Frontier has some colourful artwork.
Im on a KS hiatus at the moment. I have lots arriving, but not much is piqued my interest. Sleeping Gods is probably closest right now.

Thanks to everyone who took part this year:

Here are the results:

Leven 87
Meepledrone 85
Rosco 81
TheSteveAllen 48?  --> Possibly
RichTheFish 14  --> From twitter

I think Rosco was incredibly unlucky missing a vital rule when scoring!  Those invaders are brutal!
Considering he won the solo variant for 2018, 2017, and 2016, it seems he was letting someone have a chance!

And that someone was Leven! Congratulations Leven! You're the new Solo variant champion. 

I'd best dig out some prizes!

I'll keep this tread open for any late contenders. Otherwise see you in 2020!

I think it's 121-40 = 81

Originally:  144 - 23 = 121

Invaders scored:
-15 for cloisters
-6 and -2 for farms. 
That's the -23.

But you have 2 farmers that score -20 each, -40
There net score was -7, I think you already included the 21 and 12 points in your 144.

Still a remarkable score, and not a moment before the deadline!

I guess it was -40 not -7 because you already scored the farms in your score?

Ouch!

An excellent score....but:

• Any player meeple that remain on the board penalize the player -20 points; including player’s farmers.

So I count:

• -15 for cloisters.
• -8 for farms
• -7 for your farmers (21 + 12 - 40)

For a total of -30.

Taking your score to: 114—Still amazing and you demonstrate that 120 is achievable!!

Congrats Rosco!

WOW! Let's have a late dinner in Cook Islands! 

Did the Invaders try to conquest them too?

I like to make sure everyone has enough time to play regardless of timezone. Carcassonne Central is a global forum after all!

I don't know any Carcassonne fans from the Cook Islands, but I like to give them the opportunity.

Unfortunately, when I estimated the time earlier, I forgot about American Samoa this year, with -11 UTC.  That gives everyone another hour!

It's almost 10pm in the Cook Islands, so that gives another 2 (and a bit) hours until Sunday!

Excellent work Meepledrone!

85 is a great score!  Not too long left for entries, no sign of entries from Rosco yet

Seems like no one is getting post any more 

I had a few deliveries of late:


VPG have been bought and laid off, so wanted to grab some of their popular titles.

Shipwreck is a logic puzzle.  Foothills is a 2player game similar to Snowdonia.

And a little promo from Chooselife 

Don't forget to play the Carcassonne solo contest for Gencant this weekend!
