Going anywhere exciting?

Barcelona

I have already scoped out the board game shops so I might be able to pick up some missing Carcassonne goodies.

I tried joining the game today but I could not see anyone in the chat room nort could I connect to the IP address that Dan shared with me a while ago.

oh well - maybe some other time

I'm sorry Gerry.

There was a last-minute change of plans at my end (not made by me) so I ended up not being able to play either. I was really looking forward to it as well...

Is anybody in for tonight's game at 21:30 CET / 20:30 BST?

The element of the week is the traders, so we should include Traders and Builders. For further expansions, I suggest Abbey and Mayor. If that's OK with everyone, we can also add a few minor expansions that I will let others choose.

I'll try and make it for at least one game!

Starting in five minutes! Come to the chat room if you want to play! http://sydby.com/carcassonne/irc/index.html

Thanks for the game jungleboy!

It could have gone either way - beginner's luck!

We had a gripping battle for the large cathedral city.
In the end - I chickened out and used my abbey cash-in and get the goods.

I managed to draw all three of the fccc cards preventing jungleboy from taking the middle city too.
That could have been another 30+ points + a draw for barrel goods.
It also trapped your builder!

A poor end game from me too - I still had 5 meeple to play!

Thanks again, looking forward to the next one!

Great game guys! I'm sorry that I missed it but I was at a funeral yesterday and it affected me more than I realised and didn't leave me in the best frame of mind for playing Carcassonne (crazy I know!) Are we going to have a match on Christmas day? I think I may have to give that one a miss if so...

I'm seeing River 2, Inns & Cathedrals, Traders & Builders and Abbey & Mayor for a total of 138 tiles?

@Decar - how come you had so much left at the end?

Decar · « **Reply #173 on:** December 19, 2014, 02:30:03 AM »

Sorry to hear you couldn't make it Dan, hope you're doing ok.

Your count sounds right - took us about an hour to play.

TBH, I didn't really see the endgame coming because I was using my Builder so much! I managed to get two inns near the end, which were probably worth more playing to comple short roads than placing a meeple in a dead city.

How about a Boxing Day match?

I think we can safely skip the weekly game on Christmas Day, and maybe New Year's Day as well. I will be away for Christmas anyway, but back before New Year's, so I could potentially play on Jan 1 - we'll see.

Sorry to hear that you went to a funeral, I hope the departed was well celebrated and lived a full and happy life.

I guess we'll just have to see who's around. I'm not going to be away much so will probably be available for the odd game here and there. Perhaps we should just open it up and invite people to post a new topic if they're around and are looking for someone else to play against?

Thanks. I wish this were the case but sadly he was only ten years older than me and was otherwise fit and healthy up until around 7 or 8 months ago...

Should we restart the weekly Thursday night game this week after the Christmas break? Since the element of the week is the dragon, it should be a spicy game! What other expansions do people want to play with?

For those new to the forums, we play a weekly game at 21:30 CET on Thursday nights using JCloisterZone. We gather at the chatroom at the following address 5-10 minutes before: http://sydby.com/carcassonne/irc/index.html

Decar · « **Reply #177 on:** January 07, 2015, 12:32:58 PM »

I'm not definite, but will try and make it tomorrow. I may be a little late though so will join the second game if there's one

B1nder · « **Reply #178 on:** January 07, 2015, 12:40:22 PM »

I'll join in.

jungleboy · « **Reply #179 on:** January 08, 2015, 11:19:57 AM »

Actually I'm going to have to pull out, because I have a splitting headache and looking at the screen makes it worse. Sorry about that and enjoy the game.
