The Great Escape

(1/5) > >>

Decar:
It's been a very long time since I suggested a tournament,  but I was having a chat with TheSteveAllen yesterday over on Slack and struck upon an idea.

What if one player was trying to score as many points as possible, while another player was trying to deny them points?

Rather than both players scoring and denying points, you'd each have one focus.

I thought it would lead to some interesting opportunities for trapping and escaping, so hence the name:

The Great Escape!

As I said above, the tournament would be played as 1v1, where one player is attempting to score points (the fugitive), while the other is attempting to reduce their total score (the trapper), either by trapping or claiming features before their opponent can.

After the game the fugitive's score would be recorded.

If there are several people interested then groups can be created.  In a group each player would be the fugitive against all the other players.  The winner of the group would be the player with the highest average fugitive score.

In terms of format, players would play 2 games, one as the fugitive, the other as the trapper.

If you'd be interested in taking part in such a tournament, let me know below!

Nice idea Decar. I'm always keen to experiment with different ways of playing Carcassonne.

Please count me in! :)

Count me in as well. (unless the games are played during the summer holidays)  The last online tournament seems like ages ago although the WC of last year was concluded this year.  ;)
