Looks like a good game, I wish I'd played now. Shame about the mistakes with the Towers but I think most of us have been there and done the same thing at least once or twice (I certainly have anyway)!

Who was Chuck? Was he Carcking?

I'm sure I'm up to about 5 or 6 times by now! Let's do something about it.

No, Chuck is Chuck! ;-)
It was a very good game, although I was the victim of the towers in the beginning.

Haha - no offense to "Chuck" but I wouldn't jump in and admit to that score

Well, it was my second online-game and in real-life, I don't play with the towers very often. So I have no problem to admit, that it was me! ;-)

I enjoyed the game (even though I came last). It's definitely a combo is try again! Felt a bit silly after capping the tower but wasn't too horrified as it wasn't a league game

in future I'll make sure to be a bit more careful with it!

I don't get much play with the tower but I would certainly like to, especially with the strategic tile placements involved.

Just joshing with you. Please don't take offense. We are both Princesses. How will it feel when you crush me into the Carcassonne map? haha

No offense taken! :-)
I hope, I can win some league games in the future, but I guess, I'm going for the last place! ;-)

If I tried to tell you how much this made me laugh I don't think you'd believe me.

"Come on mate, leave it out. We're both princesses..." (said in a very butch voice)

this afternoon was satisfactory.
I have had an opportunity of playing with two great warriors and practice for the league , with victory for me.
I hope this does not harm in the future ....

also I was on a roll as I could overcome my personal record with the base game .
Finally I leave here ( 300 points)

khalidqasrawi: 226

Hounk: 195

Valheru: 134

Saturday night, no wine glass in hand I joined in this impromptu game with Valheru and Hounk. After a little preamble with Hounk explaining the Phantom to us, we set forth to play BG, I&C, T&B + phantom.

I'm not really sure what happened. It took me 20 moves to settle in, I was making tea and working out how to use the phantom, meanwhile Valheru and Hounk were busy lining up cities and farms and getting their builders active then somehow, I finished mega city 1 with the cathedral on it and with it's size and it's trade goods, I more or less took control. I did share the city points with Hounk so Valheru was pretty much out of the game at that point. I got a bit interested at after that but still maintaining my 10 second rule for placing tiles and meeples in friendly matches. Okay so maybe it stretched to 20 seconds after the kettle boiled.

The rest of the game scratched along. I just had to hold onto the trade goods and make sure I annoyed Hounk enough to keep him from scoring big. The last battle was for the farm. I tried to get my big meeple onto his farm but during the process of the battle ended up with the farms separate but mine had only one less city on it anyway.

Interesting game in the end. Pretty lucky for me really.
