This randomly came up in my email today.  First time I ever saw a kickstarter for t-shirts, but I like some of the choices, especially this one!
Here's the link if anyone's interested: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mrmeeple/board-games-t-shirts-from-mr-meeple-season-3?ref=ksr_email_backer_project_update_registered_users_discover_project_similar_4

Unofficial Rules / Whirlwind (portal) into a Besieged City?

« on: July 17, 2020, 02:42:26 PM »

Please excuse my ignorance, but I was playing Ark of the Covenant with fan-made expansions The Great Whirlwind and The Walls of Jericho (by the way, great job, Scott!  Also love the Jordan River!).  Anyway I besieged my opponent's city, whereupon he immediately lost his prophet.  Would it be possible for either of us to whirlwind back into the city at a later point to finish then claim the city points (albeit at half value)?  I would imagine this question would also apply to Cathars and Portals in the original version.
 Thanks for any clarification.  Loving the wonderful world of Carcassonne and its awesome community!

General / Winter Edition

« on: April 21, 2020, 11:59:56 AM »

I recently bought the Carcassonne Big Box and liked it so much that I'm trying to get all the related games that I can find.  I picked up the newer expansions, but the older ones are proving a challenge.  In particular, the Winter Edition, which looks awesome, is currently priced at over $129 on Amazon and eBay.  However, I also see it for about $30 on the websites DHgate and Fun Toy Shop.  Does anybody know if these are legitimate/reliable websites?  I'd really like to pick up the game but not at the expense of my online/financial security.  Thanks for any help you all can give!  Really liking Carcassonne Central and looking forward to adding some fan expansions soon!
