Carcassonne is a great tile laying game with infinite expansionability. It has been reduced to a travel version, reinvented as Carcassonne II, colour changed for the Winter Edition and had luck added in the Wheel of Fortune. But these are all different flavours with the same playability as the vanilla version we all love and return to again and again.
Variants on a theme are all very well but the tile laying concept can be taken much further, and has been by Hans im Gluck and other companies too. This series of polls is for the forum to offer thoughts on which is their preferences and why. I am only including spinoffs by Hans im Gluck through various distributers in this series.
The poll is open for 7 days and then another will be offered up for comments. It may well be that the 3rd option gets most votes but it'll be the spinoff with the majority that progresses to the next round.

A possible Adda bug when playing The Tower. I just won 132 - 8 having captured all 7 of Adda's meeples. Adda had opportunities to capture mine and even placed the tower piece but didn't capture!, nor did Adda pay the ranson.
Adda gave me a good game in the other 2 games that we've played this week.

At Thirsty Meeples café in Oxford, JT Atomico and Curt194 managed to play 8 different versions of Carcassonne. This seems an impressive achievement, but it can and no doubt will be bettered. I have come up with a quick list of 18 versions below that all belong to the Carcassonne family of games and I bet that I have missed a few others. Is anyone in UK up for a marathon session and an attempt at bettering 8 versions?
I have no idea when/where etc. just a gauge of interest at this stage.

I have a scoring question for this new expansion. If a road starts at one German Cathedral and ends at a different German Cathedral is the scoring of the road still 2 points per tile?
In theory a new Labyrinth tile could be surrounded by 4 German Cathedrals. If I am lucky enough to have placed a meeple on the Labyrinth tile does it score 10 points or more than 10?

I received Exploding Kittens as a birthday present from my 92 year old grandparents.
It's an enjoyable variant on Uno.

I like staying up and watching at least the first half of the Superbowl. It starts at 23:20(ish) in UK. To help me stay awake, would anyone like to play a JCZ game whilst I have Parthers vs Broncos on in the background this coming Sunday?
Maybe we can get 3, 4 or more of us playing?

How about a pair of meeples as cufflinks on silver plated fastenings?
Three unusual colour wooden meeple examples attached, Gold, Silver and Turquoise. Other standard colours available upon request. Each pair made by my wife.
Only £7.00 + postage.
Wear your meeples with pride

Has anyone played Tsuro of the Seas? I just got mine and have played a 3 and a 4 player game. I enjoy it and was wondering how others feel about this game.
