I was going to include every expansion twice but if you zoom out far enough it doesn't look so big...

Evening all, hope you guys are well. Depending what time things are kicking off, I'd probably be up for playing - particularly if we use some of the expansions Decar has just announced for the next round of the Welcome tournament as I'm not familiar with the Tower, Phantom or Crop Circles 2.

We'll probably start at 8:30. Does that suit you Rich?

Even though I didn't do very well, this was a great game with Rosco and Rich_The_Fish. It was the first time that Rich had played with several of the expansions that were included in this game, but he seemed to pick them up amazingly well and the game soon turned into quite a battle:





With 5 or 6 tiles to go I was leading on points and also controlled the large farm with a single farmer. I was aware that he was at risk from the towers, but thought I could protect him by dropping a meeple on top of whichever tower Rosco and Rich chose to build towards him. However, Rich used his builder to get a double turn and took my farmer before I'd had a chance to stop him. He also claimed the farm for himself which represented a 66-point swing between us! I didn't draw the right tile to connect an adjacent farmer either and so went from hero to zero in the space of a couple of minutes! :'(

Well played guys! And thanks for the game :) :(y)

And it appears that, if not for the Tower ransoms, Rich would win the game. So Tower play was critical all way around. Nice game!
I just drew the perfect tile for my MonKnighThieFarmer!

This looks to be a totally awesome game.  Rich_The_Fish how did you find it - I bet this game will have you well prepared for Round 3 of the tournament!

Very exhausting to be honest, but it was worthwhile and very kind of danisthirty and Rosco to play with all those expansions.

Do you think it will make a good final for the Welcome Tournament, or do you think we should pry it back?  90minutes is quite a game; and we all know Rosco doesn't wait ;)

I didn't spot this during the game. So that's how Rich kept getting his meeples back!

The Tower is a sure way to make things 100 times more complicated. And unlike the dragon, the threat of a nearby tower (or a tower being placed close to something you want to protect) doesn't go away until everyone has run out of tower foundations.

Rich, it didn't feel like you really got to grips with the Phantom as Rosco seemed to have yours for most of the game. I recommend a few more games with this at some point as it's one of my favourite extra pieces!

Looks like it had been a great game. A pity, I could not join. But then, Thursday turns out now a little critical to me, since I have now quite often a live board game evening running.

Who would be interested in a "bigger" weekly game tonight? Probably usual time, 9 pm CET and higher in player count?
