There's no such thing as too many flavours of Carcassonne!

Got my BB7/BB2021 in today

Ooooohhhh! Congrats!

Anything new about the rules? Any clarifications we should be aware of?

This one is staying closed for now; but i can look at the German version once i get that one in

And the postman keeps coming round! This one was a lot quicker than expected!

The new German BB7, and the new C3 base game! Got extra copies for distribution here, but will be opening mine later today I'm sure.

Back of the box has minor updates:

Interestingly, the German BB7 has the same cover art as the French, not the corrected one. Maybe that will be for later printruns? (#Supa mega rar!

@Willem--Great stuff. Is there room on your "museum shelf" for all your recent additions? Will you share photos of the first completed C3 game? Eager to see a full landscape.

I got an ebay delivery this week:

Obviously we won't play official rules--does anyone have a favorite variant / house rules?

Enjoy the windroses. I just shared a new musing, which may encourage some more interesting play.

It's been quite a long time, since I posted anything on this thread. so I've just taken some photos of my recent aquisitions. I know you've all been missing our rainbow carpet.

My postperson has been very busy these last few weeks!

My order of v3 arrived today:

I particularly like the farmer taking it easy on the side of the box:

As well as this book that I didn't realize came out earlier in the year.... one more to go!

This came yesterday too:

And I've also received all these goodies:

Pocket Landships which is a fast solo dice mitigation game:

Some Scythe components, and the Maquis expansion.
I've ordered the new Scythe rulebook, and some of those metal mechs... they look so great.

I also kickstarted, Exhibition: 20th Century and a load of expansion for games, including Habitats, which you should all try if you like Carcassonne:

E20C is a light card drafting game, I look forward to giving this one a try, I'm hoping that the decisions make it tough to score big.

This was a shot in the dark, but SpielWorxx is well regarded, this is Squaring Circleville:

This is a seemingly meaty action/rondel game about refactoring a city, one segment at a time. One thing I'm particularly interested in is that it includes 4 different solo bots; each with their own mechanisms and player boards. Hoping to give this a try over the next week or so.

I've got some more photos to take of stuff I received earlier in the year.... I might get those sorted tomorrow.

Now you tell me you will have a Merry Boring Christmas!

Decar · « **Reply #3009 on:** December 23, 2021, 09:09:36 AM »

I'll be honest, I'm not sure why I opened the boxes I received today so quickly.... I don't have anything else to open on Christmas day

You can do unboxing of those games.
Merry Xmas

Finally I got all of my package

As stated in a previous post, my wife intercepted the package to dispatch it in my Advent Calendar

She even mixed all of the meeples in a single bag

It was... A non seen before experiment to try to sort them, with my 2 years old son trying to run away with as many meeples as possible, my 6 month old son trying to eat them, and my wife laughing at the comic scene

Sounds wonderful! Glad your package arrive, and none of it has been consumed. Happy New Year!

Look what the postman's cat dragged in! Something that neither HiG nor Devir have announced properly yet...

Willem · « **Reply #3014 on:** January 03, 2022, 02:58:26 AM »

It seems that we as the community find the new boxes and C2.2/C3 tile art a much bigger deal than any of the publishers
HiG did have some in the background of their stream, but that's all they've ever done to even acknowledge them hahaha

Great find Meepledrone!
