Welcome! :(y)

AND THE VERIFICATION FOR POSTING IS EVEN HARDER LOL

The verification has to be hard to ensure that only the best people get through... ;)

Inspired by the I Love the Postman thread, I thought it would be fun to start a thread for posting end-of-game photo(s).  Add whatever details you want, or just the photo(s).  No game is too big or too small--all Carcassonne Landscapes are beautiful!  Also feel free to add photos of the players if you have them--all Carcassonne players are beautiful, too!

+merit for this wonderful idea! I've got a fair bit of catching up to do but I'm very much looking forward to going through this thread. Thanks in advance to everyone who has shared their photos... :(y) :)

If you're travelling to London from Europe by train you will likely/ certainly (?) arrive at London St. Pancras International. I met a friend there last month and we went to a great boardgame cafe called Rogues Quarter. We got the tube to Chalk Farm and it was a 10-minute walk from there. They had big tables, a good selection of games and nice, well-priced food.

Others I've visited in London include Draughts in central/ North London and D20 which is a bit further afield in Watford, but still worth a visit if you're in the area.

Hope you enjoy your visit!

I have contacted @DavidY to arrange payment and delivery. No response yet. If there is nothing within the next few days then I will offer it to the next highest bidder (in this case @Salt1bank666 )

Yo dudes! :) :(y)

Since discovering Carcassonne in 2012 I spent over a decade building my collection of Carcassonne expansions, promos and the many special editions and rarities that once filled my boardgame shelves. It certainly wasn't a cheap hobby by any stretch of the imagination, but I loved the buzz I felt every time something new arrived and constantly rearranging my display to make sure everything was presented as perfectly as it possibly could be. I also loved that visitors were always amazed by everything I had, although somewhat surprised that so much of it remained unopened. But my real joy came from simply owning everything I owned (rather than playing it) and that's how it continued for many happy, busy, expensive years...

Fast forward to today and I'm somewhat less in love with Carcassonne than I used to be. Not for any particular reason; I still play the game every now and again, but have distanced myself from much of the competitive international scene that I used to be so closely involved with, and it's been years since my collection brought me the same joy or excitement as it used to. :( I guess it had to run out sooner or later! This aside, I don't have any plans to disappear from here any time soon, and will continue to hold my position and keep paying the bills, even if I'm not exactly one of the regulars anymore. I do however feel that the time is now right for me to part with the majority of what I've collected, so that it can go on to spark others' excitement and bring them closer to that ever-elusive state of "completion".

Unfortunately I can't afford to give anything away as I have done with my giveaways of previous years, but I have tried to price things fairly based on their rarity, condition and what's currently available. Money aside, my main hope is that everything will find a good home to go to and form part of other collections that bring just as much joy to their owners as mine used to bring to me (this is why I'm listing my sales here rather than on eBay on BGG Marketplace).

At present I have eight items to sell (although there will be more to follow). Each item has a post of its own which includes details, starting price and some photos. For convenience I've provided links to each of these eight posts below. If you see anything you're in need of for your own collection then please bid on the specific item/ post and I'll finalise things on Friday the 8th March by arranging payment and postage with the winning/ highest bidders:


Best wishes and good luck finding something you need!
Dan

I think there's an official milk sachet expansion too.... although his signature might have rubbed off by now.

It's still official!
