Community Rules (Meepledrone & Friends) / Re: Playing a 2 hour game
« on: May 19, 2023, 10:34:00 AM »
Offering suggestions is encouraged by the rules, but I’m struggling to understand how it becomes unfair when you know what the tile is in advance. Typically the unfairness argument is that it prevents other players from being able to draw that tile.

I haven’t seen anyone convert anything to C3 yet. There are some conversions between C1 and C2 over on the German and Czech forums.

I didn’t realize that this hadn’t arrived yet, but sure enough my C3 set was missing a pair of dice for the brown player. It was so long ago that I ordered these, that I forget when it was.

I’ve notified Asmodee and asked them to replace the photo.

I asked them to add photos and that's what we got. One of our Facebook fans has ordered and will let me know what it looks like when it arrives.

Unofficial Rules / Re: Playing "quicker" games

I would suggest a round limit, so that each player gets an equal number of turns, and full potential access to every tile.

In an interesting development, the C1 version of Monasteries in Germany is now available in the Asmodee shop. This has been difficult to find for many years now. https://shop.asmodee.com/carcassonne-5-german-cloisters-mini-expansion-ze014

Where is "The Summoning Circles"? And where is Exp. 12 ? :)

Not ready yet. More playtesting required.

It's showing in-stock at BoardGameBliss in Ontario, Canada. I sent an email to Asmodee USA yesterday and was told that a release date has not been set yet. Asmodee Canada also reports not in stock yet. I'm guessing whatever copies exist in North America must have been imported by the retailers from the UK. No idea why it's taking so long; from what I was told, the container shipped months ago and should have arrived by now.

The stickers finally arrived for my The Bets token upgrade project. I spent the afternoon trimming and applying.

I feel it worth noting that you don't need to play with everything in one game. You can also do different combinations of expansions with the same group of people to keep things fresh and interesting.

MegaCarc is about more than just placing tiles too. With more expansions comes more expansion interactions, and scoring gets more complicated.

I'm not familiar with Soccer Field Equipment Shop, but I have to wonder why they would be selling BGG promos... seems fishy.

You can see the tiles from the GQ promo here: https://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/Games_Quarterly_11_(1st_edition)#Tile_distribution

That 20th anniversary spring does split the farms into three, which is unique to that tile.

It's definitely better to wait on anything you're not comfortable with. I got impatient for certain things and have overpaid a few times. But I've managed to get almost everything I wanted thanks to help from several people on here. If you're a Discord user, I recommend joining us on there: https://discord.gg/tYkQvuSP

I see on your BGG shopping list that you're looking for Phantoms. MeepleSource has you covered: https://meeplesource.com/proddetail.php?prod=AcrylicMeepleSampler

You can order an original Count figure here: https://cundco.de/en/spare-parts/11/wooden/plastic-pieces?c=38#044216af289238b96851d7fa916cf70c
OR
You can order the six-piece upgrade set from MeepleSource: https://meeplesource.com/proddetail.php?prod=CarcassonneCharacters

We have a whole collection of ways to spend money on upgrades and accessories: https://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/Accessories_and_Gadgets

Don't worry about Carcassonne getting abandoned, at least not by the German publisher. Carcassonne is a very big brand for Hans im Gluck. Asmodee (Z-Man Games) is the one who doesn't care because they have a very large distribution catalog, meaning that Carcassonne represents only a fraction of their total sales figures. Hans im Gluck intends to release all the major expansions (except Catapult) in C3 when they finish selling the remaining C2 inventory. I've heard the same from my contact at Asmodee.

I'm just hoping nobody realises that I was wearing the exact same hoody at our meetup around this time last year..... :o
Presumably it has been through the wash in between time.

Thanks for the great write-up!
