Carcassonne Central
Off Topic => Anything Else => Topic started by: Decar on June 01, 2021, 01:03:19 PM

One of the great things about Carcassonne Central is the community, and how people from all across the globe all seem to have fallen in love with 45mm square tiles that depict the South of France (Don't mention halflings).
So, while this is off-topic, I thought it would be a fun little game to play.
The game starts by making a wish, and the next person replies granting their wish, but reminding them of the impact of their desires, before making their own wish.
It's a faux pas to forget to make a wish, but someone else can start the thread off again.
For example:
> I wish I did not have to work.
>Granted. But the world is now overrun by an evil synthetic intelligence that perceives all humans as a threat to its existence. You have to fight to survive.
> I wish ...
So I'll start:
I wish I claimed that cloister
-
Ok, that sounds interesting!
Let's have a look...
>Granted, however by doing that, you don't have a meeple available to defend your main farm, meaning you end up losing the game when the last tile allows your opponent to join another farmer onto it, making them victorious
I wish I placed the fairy next to my meeple
-
That's the spirit. I'll reply to this one but let some others get a chance:
Granted. Unfortunately it was on a Pyramid with all the other players. No one remembers how the scoring works and the game descends into Chaos while you work it out.
I wish to strike oil in my garden.
-
>Granted. You stroke the oil in the middle of your garden, but in an ironic twist of fate, the whole world switched to renewable fuel sources the very next day and now you just have an oily mess of a lawn.
I wish I could play lifesize Carcassonne.
-
Granted, but you became wood in your own game, and lost all control over yourself. You ended up on the scoretracker so didn’t enjoy anything of the game.
I wish I had a printer to print fan expansions on the bland tiles from cundco.
-
Granted, but you got the order all wrong and you got blank tiles for spin-offs instead. Now you need a bag for you fan-made tiles badly...
I wish blank tiles could be printed on both sides to create expansions with cool mechanics based on reversible two-sided tiles.
-
Granted but as soon as you finished printing the 144th tile, HiG announced the launch of CarcaCubes 3D!
I wish I lived closer to other Carc-crazed people!
-
> Granted, but the geographic centre of Carcassonne players is actually in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean so you are now stuck on a boat with only the Travel Edition to keep you entertained.
I wish The Besiegers would finally release in the new art style.
-
I wish The Besiegers would finally release in the new art style.
Granted, but like the Winter Edition 2020, it's effectively impossible to get a copy of.
I wish I had gotten into Carcassonne years before I did. Early 2000's would have been a good start date. - :pink-meeple:
-
granted, but all your friends only know the game risk or all play fifa 20 and no one is interested in carcassonne and so you put it aside until 2021
-
granted, but all your friends only know the game risk or all play fifa 20 and no one is interested in carcassonne and so you put it aside until 2021
Ouch! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
And what's your wish? - :pink-meeple:
-
I wish Davide remembered to make a wish
-
Granted, but it seems it will take him a few ours to realize he forgot and kept us hanging. Maybe he ran out of wishes for 2021... :o
I wish, HiG finally release an expansion using water towers...
(https://wikicarpedia.com/images/2/23/Feature_WaterTower_C2.png)
-
Granted, but apparently they used real water and your tiles are ruined.
I whish all expansions would be kept in print and always keep their original price.
-
Granted, but the never-ending demand and infinite supply that results as a consequence of this cause global deforestation that ultimately destroys the planet, and everyone has to move to a brand new planet constructed entirely out of Carcassonne tiles.
I wish I could always draw whatever tile I needed when playing Carcassonne.
-
Granted. But unfortunately your artistic skills aren't quite good enough and your opponent at the world championships spots your fake. And only because they knew the game didn't have 7 FFFR tiles. After such a disgrace, you're banned from ever entering a tournament again >:(
I wish for a Meeple cake.
-
Unfortunately, the Meeple Cake is just a very big Meeple, made from wood.
I wish for another big expansion in 2021.
-
Granted. It's the Catapult.
I wish for a never-ending supply of meeples!
-
Granted, but you need a huge container to carry them around all the time. :black1-meeple: :blue-meeple: :green-meeple: :red-meeple: :gray-meeple: :violet-meeple: :pink-meeple: :orange-meeple: :white-meeple: :brown-meeple: :neutral-meeple: :yellow-meeple:
I wish a Mega Big Box in 2021 including all the expansions, even those not released for C2 yet...
-
Granded, but this Mega Big Box is very expensive at release, and due to scalpers buying all the stock, is only available to you for the price of a house. Carcassonne gets a reputation for being this overly expensive game, loses many players and is doomed to being a relic from times past...
I wish for an exclusive Carcassonne Central edition of the Carcassonne game.
-
Granted. But unfortunately 73 people want to take part, and only 70 tiles get submitted. But at least the rules are consistent.
I wish for rules for the Giant Meeple.
-
Granted, but the Giant Meeple is now a part of a dexterity expansion that involves trebucheting the meeple at your opponent in an attempt to knock them unconscious.
I wish CundCo could ship games and expansions to New Zealand for a reasonable price.
-
Granted, they will use The Tunnels to reach NZ by road!
I wish La Porxada becomes an official expansion finally.
-
Granted, but the tile is only included in a base game where all the normal tiles are just stickers applied to winter edition blank tiles.
I wish Mayor meeple was actually useful.
-
Granted, but now games have to stop for 6 weeks while candidates go through an electoral process. Standing for election costs a lot of points, and now every tile has a pennant on it.
I wish South Seas had another expansion.
-
Granted, but it's mis-cut and appears to have dismembered mermaids.
I wish I hard a working TARDIS so (among other things) I could go back in time and visit all the Carcassonne-themed conventions and buy now hard-to-find tiles at reasonable prices.
-
Granted, but the TARDIS cannot visit any year between 2014 and today so no C2 promos or Spiel tiles can be obtained this way... Sorry! :o
I wish HiG release a 8-tile mini expansion containing all the Spiel tiles (2014-2021) for C2.1 and special rules for them.
-
Granted, however the tiles are printed on a 1x8 sheet and each one has different grass color (to which special rules apply).
I wish animal tiles from Winter Edition finally got their promised rules!
-
granted, but all your friends only know the game risk or all play fifa 20 and no one is interested in carcassonne and so you put it aside until 2021
Ouch! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
And what's your wish? - :pink-meeple:
I forget my wish,mmmm My wish is tile the floor of my house with tiles carcassone and the walls and roof and play with magnetic meeple ah including dishes cutlery glasses all made with tiles, even the bed
-
Davide... we've moved on please. Grant DIN0's wish before making a new wish.
Granted, however the tiles are printed on a 1x8 sheet and each one has different grass color (to which special rules apply).
I wish animal tiles from Winter Edition finally got their promised rules!
-
Granted, however the tiles are printed on a 1x8 sheet and each one has different grass color (to which special rules apply).
I wish animal tiles from Winter Edition finally got their promised rules!
Granted; now placing an animal tile will make you lose 10 points every turn, until the game ends.
I wish that all decars musings are being officially released by HiG!
-
Granted; And HIG will pay 100 dollars every musings,but..when decars goes to collect the money, and he back at the airport, they arrest him for illegal transport of money.
!!my wish,mmmm My wish is tile the floor of my house with tiles carcassone and the walls and roof and play with magnetic meeple ah including dishes cutlery glasses all made with tiles, even the bed
-
Davide, very kind, but you may have missed the premise...Dkmvs requires his wish to have unforseen circumstances... Be careful what you wish for.. is the name of the game!
I wish that all decars musings are being officially released by HiG!
Still stands ^
-
Modified and corrected
-
I'm not quite sure you're following but in the spirit of the game, we'll continue, hopefully Dkmvs will have another chance to make a wish soon.
Granted. Unfortunately you can't find a table big enough. So the players pack the game away.
I wish everyone understood the rules.
-
Now, that's a bold wish!
It is granted - now everyone understands the rules before they are even written and so they submit their corrections to the publishers in advance. They modify the rules which erases the original reason players were dissatisfied with them. This creates a causal loop and gaming industry is stuck forever! :o
Bolder the wish, bigger the consequences.
I wish HiG released a motorised Catapult.
-
Granted, however the Catapult is so strong you have to play outside and finding you tokens a few 100 meters further can take hours.
I wish all tiles were undamageable.
-
Granted, but the tile corners will be so sharp that may pierce the bag while shuffling and drawing the tiles. Don't forget to have some Mercurochrome and bandages at hand to patch the cuts in your hands.
I wish the fairy could invite the dragon and its family to a birthday party during the game...
-
Your wish is granted, too bad the dragon family had a double agenda, and eat the fairy, and HiG is unable to provide a new one, since fairies are a rare breed..
I wish I found a spiel 14 tile!
-
granted, but to find it climb the everest and you will be taken prisoner by a tribe of cannibal monks who give you the card but 'you will be eaten before returning home.
my wish is to live until 100 years playing carcassonne
-
Granted, but you develop short-term memory loss and can't ever remember the rules to the game, so every time you play, somebody has to teach it to you all over again (think 50 First Dates).
I wish I had better control over buying games on Kickstarter.
-
Your wish is granted. Now you are always aware exactly what is going on on Kickstarter. The unfortunate sideffect is that now you want all the new games and your bank account suffers greatly.
I wish Carcassonne had a proper 15th anniversary edition.
-
Granted. But it comes in a blue box. There's a meeple sticker sheet. An extended river. And a small mini-expansion that triggers when you place tiles next to each other. The tiles include Easter eggs of HiGs other favour games, and each tile has UV-spot on important features. This now becomes the base game for the new edition of Carcassonne, and there are no good ideas for the 20th anniversary :'(
I wish the Winter edition had another mini-expansion.
-
Granted, but if it about a wandering Yeti, all your meeples should stay put in their owner's supply shaking in fear. You would not be able to claim any features until you scare the Yeti away...
I wish HiG would organize a rules clarifications meet-up as part of the 20th Annivesary events.
-
Granted, but you’re not invited. As a matter of fact, all the rules you have collected are dismissed and banned for being faulty.
I wish the new big expansion has something to do with clowns.
-
Granted, however they are terror clowns who remove all meeples on the board every turn.
I wish tiles would come pre-sleeved when you buy the game
-
Granted, however they are terror clowns who remove all meeples on the board every turn.
I wish tiles would come pre-sleeved when you buy the game
Granted, but the sleeves aren't transparent so you can't see the tiles.
I wish Carcassonne Central would be back online again...
-
Granted but now you have to catch up with all those posts about secret Carcassonne strategy you wanted to write and never could...
I wish Big Box 2917 was released early this year bundling tons of expansions from the future (and comatible tile backs of course)!
-
Granted. But the art work on the front has changed 3 times, so you won't be able to use them for a while yet, and unfortunately your copy didn't come with a rule book.
I wish for an air conditioner.
-
Granted. But your air conditioner is permanently fixed in "hot air mode".
I wish for a McDonalds breakfast.
-
Granted... but they're out of bagels and hashbrowns.
I wish for some Chicken Selects.
-
...Still wishing for some Chicken Selects
-
Granted, but you will also get some Meeple Selects not so good for your health!
I wish for some answers to my Carcassonne prayers after so many hours kneeling down and praying at the Shrine of Discord.
-
Granted... but as a result the whole of Carcassonne Central went down for about a month.... and then they didn't update the rule books in the next edition anyway.
I wish for meeple shaped biscuits in everyone's Christmas stockings.
-
Granted! Now all your clothes are full of crumbs itching everywhere...
I wish for a re-release of all the Spiel tiles as one C3 mini expansion providing bonuses and joy to everyone.
-
Granted. C4 was released later that year with a new C4 Spiel 22 tile >:D
I wish the new Flags on Cundco were as good as the original ones...
-
Granted, but due to their popularity, stocks ran out faster than the Spiel 21 tile and now they are SUPA MEGA RAR
I wish the Carcassonne Central Forum would get the option to pre-order any new releases in the world of Carcassonne
-
Granted but it only preorders from Z-man at RRP and ships from the USA, so stuff never arrives on time, if at all. Thanks to so many pre-ordeeing they now automatically put the prices up 75% a year.
I wish tiles were waterproof.
-
Granted, but they are now so flammable that they spontaneously combust just above room temperature.
I wish CundCo would hire more people for their annual Advent sales event.
-
Granted., but they hired Anne Pätzke for the job and now no one can draw new tiles.
I wish there was an ultimate Carcassonne storage box where you could dislay and organize all your tiles.
-
Granted, but it looks like this:
(https://i.ibb.co/r3691RW/57519ab740ba9a1087ce28746c038a1c.jpg) (https://ibb.co/r3691RW)
And has become rare although nobody actually wants it.
I wish for a tour through Cundco's warehouse and their basement
-
Granted, but their vault is protected by droids with laser guns so visitors cannot take not even the smallest item, leave alone a Spiel tile from their secret stash.
I wish phantoms could considered as first-class meeples in C3, so they could be acrobats again!
-
Granted. Rule clarifications are their own reward.
I wish for acrylic meeple flags so that the translucent and frosted meeples can hold them too.
-
Granted. Rule clarifications are their own reward.
I wish for acrylic meeple flags so that the translucent and frosted meeples can hold them too.
I wish I didn't have to grant my own wish!
-
Granted, but don't dare to drop one acrylic meeple flag to the floor or you will never find it again...
I wish for a Winter Edition Bigbox 7 with snowed inns and frosted trade goods.
-
Granted, but it means Winter Big Boxes 1-6 are rushed out and only have a base game, Gingerbread Man and River, although in slightly different versions of box art. But as a collector you buy all 6 before getting to this Winter Big Box 7
I wish customs would recognise orders of mine from around the world and would just release them without opening/damaging the box
-
Granted, instead they tape them up so no one can ever open it C:-)
C:-) >:D
I wish HiG produced a quantum meeple, that only appears when you need it.
-
Granted, but when placed on any tile, it will lead to Schrödinger-style scorings: you would never know if you received points or nor for a feature, or even if you won or not in the end. Only Cundco would know the outcome and you should call them after every game if you want to know the answer.
I wish for a new major expansion that would implement offical wells, canals and that finally gives meaning to water towers in cities.
-
Granted. To your surprise the rules of the expansion involve supplying cities, roads and fields with ample water from these sources. The water demand scales with the meeple ount per feature and failing to do so results in meeples dying of thirst and be returned to player's supplies.
I wish the Carcassonne Around the World 5 would finally release.
-
Granted but World 5 is about 9.6 Light Years away, and the rulebook is written in ልረጎቿክነር ዪጎየፕሁዪቿ . It takes Meepledrone the rest of his life to decode the introductory paragraph.
I wish the next mini expansion featured a water fountain, like the ones from Alhambra.
-
Granted. It comes with a catapult-style wooden sculpture of a fountain, but analogous to catapult, instead of sprashing water high into the air, it sprays it horizontally and covers all tiles in water.
I wish for a Carcassonne Halloween Edition!
-
Granted, but all the meeples in this edition are orange pumpkins so there are a lot of disputes about who has the majority in each feature, leading to absolute chaos. >:D
I wish for some Carcassonne Promos based on Grimm's Fairy Tales.
-
Granted. They are released exclusively in select countries based on the origin of the tales. Completionist mayhem ensues >:D
I wish for a king meeple to be introduced! :yellow-meeple:
-
Granted. The King has made his first appearance during the Advent Quizz 22 and is called « His Meeple Highness »

I wish for a completely rewritten and revised set of rules for Mists over Carcassonne
-
Granted, but then you will have to complete 100 levels with terrible contraints that would keep up night after night to no avail.
I wish for pentagonal tiles to be included in Carcassonne.
-
Granted but... Sir Penrose played a German Castle tile on his next move and forgot to include Halflings.
I wish for an automated tile sorting machine to speed up and tear down games.
-
Granted...but it wears down the tile edges and doesn't fit sleeved tiles.
I wish for Mists over Carcassonne to finally be available in the United States.
-
+1 from me for granting my wish... and the previous one at the same time ;D
Granted...but it wears down the tile edges and doesn't fit sleeved tiles.
I wish for Mists over Carcassonne to finally be available in the United States.
-
Granted...but it wears down the tile edges and doesn't fit sleeved tiles.
I wish for Mists over Carcassonne to finally be available in the United States.
Granted, however the shipping fees are tripled unless there's mist outside on the day of arrival.
I wish I had more free time to work on my other Carcassonne projects.
-
I wish I had more free time to work on my other Carcassonne projects.
Granted but HiG have start releasing twice daily expansions published in 17 factories for the next 25 years.
I wish HiG can win a Nintendo license for a Carcassonne spin-off.
-
Granted, however the spin off is based on Wii Bowling, and you must throw tiles at meeples to win.
I wish HiG would pay me for collecting all different releases of Carcassonne
-
I wish HiG would pay me for collecting all different releases of Carcassonne
Granted, but it's it's a zero hour contract, and way less than what you're spending; you even have to buy your own Essen tickets.
I wish for a national board gaming holiday; a day off devoted to board games.
-
Granted, but it is not a fix date and each year gamers from all over the country have to agree on a date by playing Rock Paper Scissors Lizzard Spock!
I wish for a monthly meetup with HiG devoted to Carcassonne clarifications.
-
Granted, but it is invitation only, and only in person at the HiG office in Munchen. No notes may be taken, so if you can't attend, you can't easily share the clarifications
I wish for an unlimited supply of pancakes!
-
Granted, but you know you will get lemon juice on a rare tile that hasn't been sleeved yet.
I wish for something Carcassonne related for my Birthday tomorrow.
-
Granted, but it is just discovered date of new release of their web page. (Happy B-Day @Halfling).

Granted, but it will be a bunch of C3 major expansions in Spanish if MindOK is not fast enough.
I wish for HiG to correct all the mistakes in the C3 rulebooks, especially in Exp. 3! They already missed the oppotunity for BB7 though! :'(
-
Granted, but they will only exist in German, and to prevent mistranslations all publishers have to use the orignal text.
I wish for Carcassonne für 2 to be republished, with expansions.
-
Granted, bit it's a 10th of it's original size... you spend so long carefully picking up the tiles that someone sneezes and you lose all the pieces...
I wish there was a new Carcassonne Spin-Off to get excited about
-
Granted, but it has triangular tiles and incomplete rules, so you end up burning down the game in the end.
I wish for a Fluxx-inspired Carcasonne where the rules are always in continuous change.
-
I grant you this wish, but it is your fate to document all of these rule changes for all eternity!
I wish there was a Wheel of Fortune reprint in C3.
-
Granted. But one week after will be released C4 version which will have different back design as in C1/C2/C3.
I wish to be WikiCarpedia.com confirmed by HiG as official rules page.
-
Granted, but all changes are now sanctioned by HiG and go through a 9 month committee process. Also publisher don't renew their license because they are no longer in control of their rule books. HiG is unable to sustain themselves under the new production criteria, so sell the franchise to a well known publishing house that ends the terms the wikicarpedia introduced.
I wish publisher continue to publish Carcassonne for another 25 years.
-
Granted. But unfortunately it will be published at least 30 years.
I wish to play Carcassonne world championship in Carcassonne.

Granted but you have to wait 30 years...
This game requires an impact of someone's desire, not simply it takes a long time.
I wish publisher continue to publish Carcassonne for another 25 years.
