Carcassonne Challenge 1 - Expand the World

(1/5) > >>

Paul:
Hi, everyone!

Thought I share a challenge I tried few days ago. This requires a lot of expansions but I managed to come quite far using only the most common releases.

-The idea is to start with the castle (The 12x tiles from The Count) and build outwards.

-Building around the castle needs 18 tiles. However, each expansion(s) you choose to use needs to be a total of 18 tiles and all must of course be used and have legal placements as a real game (road-road, city-city etc).
   You can use The Tower for example, has 18 tiles, or use Abbey and Mayor + Windrosen totaling 18 tiles as well. Princess and the Dragon is 30 tiles and thus cannot be used (yet).

-Next step is to build around the previous finished area, this time it requires 26 tiles using any combination of expansions. Three minis makes 24 so that won't work well, unless you have the School!

-Continue building around using the method above and see how far you can make it! Post images here if able to. I managed to build 4 times around the castle and the image will be revealed in September!

Good luck! Looking forward to see the results.

lol im stuck at the 4th level so far haha 42 tiles.. i only have 1 exp of 30, 4 of 8 and 1 of 6 left.. and the base game (72) and the 2, rivers (12 tiles each, but they block the next ring..)
so if i had the school, i could finish the 4th ring..

just for info, every ring there come 8 more tiles in it,
so at the 8th ring (not counting the count)you can use the base game for the first time!


But my try:

1st ring(18): Corn Circles II (6), Abbey and Mayor (12)
2nd Ring(26): Inns and cathedrals(18), Witch and Wizard(8)
3th ring(34): Traders and Builders(24), Cult and heretics(5), King and Scout(5)

Paul:
Not bad at all!

I'm stuck at the fifth ring myself. It would be interesting to see if someone can reach the base game ring (usage of the base game), sort of speak.

Is there even enough expansions to go around or should we tweak the rules and let everyone use the same expansions in several 'rings' but only one for each?

City of Carcassonne
1st ring (18 tiles) – Inns & Cathedrals
2nd ring (26 tiles) – Count, King & Robber + The Tunnels
3rd ring (34 tiles) – Traders & Builders + The Festival
4th ring (42 tiles) – Princess & The Dragon + The Catapult
5th ring (50 tiles) – The Tower + Bridges, Castles & Bazaars
6th ring (58 tiles) – Carcasonne Minis + Cathars/Siege + Corn Circles I + Corn Circles II
7th ring (66 tiles) – Abbey & Mayor + Hills & Sheep + Wheel of Fortune (expansion tiles only) + The Cult (Spielbox edition) + The Plague
8th ring (74 tiles) – Carcassonne + The School
9th ring (82 tiles) – Wheel of Fortune (basic tiles only) + Windrose + Monasteries + Mini Expansion + Besiegers + Porxada

There. See if anyone can get to all 9 rings of Carcassonne!

I think inns and cathedrals cant be in the first ring, because some parts wouldnt connect
