I keep forgetting to post this, but I finally remembered! Last week my cousin and her friend were visiting and we were talking about board games. Her friend asked if I had heard of Carcassonne? After everyone had finished laughing, my family explained to her who I was and what we do here on this site, and the following evening we got a 4-player game together with my cousin, her friend, my brother, and me. My cousin had never played before, so we only played with the base game and river for the first game, and then added I&C and T&B for the second game. We used my 100-point scoreboard with 10-sided dice, which I was excited about even though the scores ended up being very low. Both games ended up being quite frustrating, as each player was drawing tiles that they had no use for but someone else needed desperately. My cousin didn't seem very into the game, stating that she "never wins anything", and the reason for that became obvious quite quickly: she doesn't try to win.  I ended up helping her complete features a few times. During the second game there was quite a nasty situation brewing between my cousin and my brother. She had a nice city going, and my brother set himself up to get his large meeple into it. He wasn't able to draw a tile that allowed him to make the final connection, and I happened to draw the only tile in the bag that would allow the city to be completed (due to the surrounding tile geography) and leave him with a 2-tile city.  Sorry, didn't take pictures. They already thought I was weird for having a 300-page rulebook.

Is this super secret project going to be another Kickstarter?

I lean towards theory 1 as well. I think when Carcking said "for the duration of the game" he was not thinking about expansions where the abbot could get removed. If a player places a monk, which is later eaten by the dragon, and then someone places a magic portal, they are not limited to placing a monk, they could also place an abbot on the unoccupied monastery.

Yes, I am interested in a set of 8 purple phantoms for my 10th Anniversary set. Also interested in shepherds in alternate colors, and I haven't bought Hills and Sheep yet. Add that all up plus shipping and invoice my Paypal account.

The one that usually gets me is the Microsoft Word curly apostrophe:
’
If this sentence shows up, it works!
Good work Yellow! I'm not sure that I deserve any credit..

I thought I was being very clear it was a thought experiment.
Better to leave that for another time in another thread. Figuring out loopholes in the rules is complicated enough already.

If you convert a 2-tile city into a castle, the meeple moves from the city into the castle. You then cannot place a meeple into the city anymore (magic portal, flier, etc.), only into the castle. Whether it's possible to have a monk and an abbot occupy the same cloister is a perfectly legitimate question that needs to be answered.

Hello everyone,
Some of our global moderators are not as active as they used to be, so we're looking to add a few active people to the moderation team. We have some ideas about who would be good candidates for this, but I think the most important thing is to find out who is interested and has time to take this on? We have a pretty good community here, so the additional workload is very minimal. The odd time we get a new member that posts something in the wrong place and it just needs to be moved.
Please reply below if you're willing to help us out.

I downloaded the software and tried to connect, but it doesn't get past the "Connecting..." message.

The date on my files is November 2008, so Abbey & Mayor was out for at least a year already by that time.
That the tournament is scored before a barn seems clear to me already in the following sentence: "When the game is over, the archery champion should always be scored prior to normal farm scoring."
Footnote 8 in Archery Tournament is essentially identical to Footnote 11 in Jousting Tournament, which was the inspiration for Archery Tournament. As the footnote states, such situations are very rare.
In fact, all of the rules in Archery Tournament are based on Jousting Tournament. I think the rules should remain consistent with each other, and since Joff is the original author I defer to his judgment on whether your suggestions are an improvement.

I've posted an invitation, but the game might be over by the time people see it.
