Hi Tp10053.  You are obviously a gamer but I am only a carcassonne fanatic and actually I have only heard of about 5 of them.

Of course, I didn't mean to be rude or anything  I kind of figured it out, it just surprised me a bit the first time, because I was expecting some other games

It's hard to pick one up, but this time I'll go with a joker crop circle tile from halflings. Having one at your disposal during the game gives you an awesome diversity and strategic play at will

Official Rules / Re: The Dragons' Meal plan - What can the Dragon eat?

« on: April 12, 2015, 01:57:20 AM »

Wait, so the dragon eats the teacher and then the teacher is out of the game? That's a rule change right? I always thought the school was safe.

Does that mean that you have to decide which of the two school tiles the teacher sits on, or can it be eaten when the dragon is on either tile?

It contradicts the rule that dragon cannot get to places which are located  on multiple tiles. Also he can now eat the mage and witch as well ? It was stated that he cannot eat neutral  figures. Teacher is neutral figure and he is also in the protected area... so... I definetly don't like the new rules

Im still wondering what they mean with double landscapes

Imagine the two school tiles. Then imagine that instead of two separate tiles, this is just one tile (ie two tiles joined at one edge). That's what I think it is.

Doris Matthäus has finished the graphics for the German Castles.

Really ? That's awesome news !

I've chosen "I generally don't bid..."

But there should be an option "Using a variant or home rule..." for this one.

 

same here. We have a house rule that we never bid, but any player can start bidding if he really wants some tile

In extreme cases, you can place 8 tiles in a row !!!

How??

First I draw a bazaar tile wich extends my feature with builder,-1st tile ; I set up an auction and perform my builder turn- 2nd tile; then the auction takes place, let's say it's the short variant, I place myauction tile-3rd tile; it extends the feature with  my builder and I take my builder turn;4th tile; with this I finish some of my features and land on a dark spot  thus recieving a message, it is the one that alows me to draw a new tile ;5th tile ; this tile has a bazaar and I also extend the feature with my builder on it and the scenario from before repeats again so thats 6th, 7th and 8th tile ! Thats how !

When playing with school I found that when you take the teacher, other players will quickly finish some low point features such as two point road or something similar to deprive you of the advantage. Thanks to builder I have found a solution: I occupy a school road and place my builder on it. Then I wait until someone has a big city on a brink of finishing and finally I finish my school road recieving a teacher  and with my double turn I finish my opponents' big city thus getting points from it
It is also great fun to combine builers' power with some other multi-turn/multi-tile placement expansions to create monster combos In extreme cases, you can place 8 tiles in a row !!!
