I guess it was under a stack of other boxes filled with stone meeples  >:D

Sadly the box has been squeezed by DHL (German post service) and the maps have suffered. Does anyone already experienced this ? Could you manage to flatten the maps again ?

Perhaps try to roll them up backwards, to take the curve out of it, and then try to lay it flat somewhere with some weight over the full area of the map? Like under a rug perhaps?

I'm very happy with my map-flattening solution and I won't hear a word said against it! (unless someone spills their coffee and it soaks through the rug :o)

Ha ha, placing them under a carpet may be a good thing indeed, I'll try this :yellow-meeple:

But... Dan... I looked everywhere and... Is it true? There isn't any Carcassonne stuff in that room  :o  ;D

The postman did find my place again. 
To meeple or not to meeple, that's the question

Dan likes to play Hide&Seek with his Carcassonne, as his family won't...
Carcassonne usually wins, showing up in bedside tables, under rugs and who knows where else  ;D

I got a delivery as well yesterday! All the way from Taiwan! A friend there had been searching for some specific bits for me, and shipped out the box.


A couple of great boxes, such as the Chinese C2 1st edition, Chinese Carc20, Chinese C3, a couple of expansions and the Demo game from Taiwan!
Also a C1 base game in Thai (which surprisingly was found in Taiwan), and Pokessonne!

Pokessonne is a reskin of Carcassonne, including base game, River 1, River 2, I&C, T&C and the Fruit-Bearing Trees, all in Pokemon theme :D
Also a game called 3 Kingdoms Battle, which is very similar in base mechanics, but has mission cards and dice to roll. If only i know how they are used, but i need to learn Chinese first :o

Carcassonne is everywhere! But apart from maps hidden under the rug I don't have anything else in that room ;)

Could I ask for a better photo of the Demo game from Taiwan please?

 -I had no idea such a thing existed until today. Anyway, congratulations on getting it!

All seems good so far. What's your concern?

Pokessonne looks awesome!!! Is that just a bootlegged version of the fan made game? If so, it needs to be published for real. Would buy in a heartbeat!

Looks identical to the German and Dutch demos.

Yep, the Taiwan demo is basically the same as the German and Dutch versions


And don't forget the Spanish demo game!
