Good point. But the dragon is the same size as the fairy so that means nothing... :P

Touché Dan...touché   :(y)

Dan, glad you got those so quickly and kudos once more to our pal Decar for sending me the tile to sign  ;D

I found a local provider of Meeples but not happy at all with the quality. Oh well, they weren't expensive.

I haven't thought of a use of the Maple Meeple. The little fellow with the shovel was a stock item and was only available in the 2 colours. I have an idea for those:

Grounds Keeper
Place the grounds keeper on a Garden tile. When the garden tile is surrounded on all sides the grounds keeper collects a vegetable token, (use any token from Hill and Dale) and return ground keeper to your pool. At the end of the game the player with the most vegetable tokens scores an extra 5(or 10) points, if there is a tie both players score the total points. In this case I would not allow the use of the Abbot for the gardens, (I'm not overly keen on that anyway)  :)

Wanna play Carc? Can we add just one more expansion?

So Cundco decided to send me Halb is Wild 1 because they had shipped my Halb is Wild 2 by accident instead. So Now I will wait 3-4 days for it to come in the mail. I thought it would be cool to make 2 triangular tuck boxes for the 2 Halb is wilds, so that though they store the tiles separately, you could put them together to make a regular shaped tuck box. Either that, or make a regular box with two separate compartments. Anyone interested in me doing something like this?
I don´t trust you with putting back my tiles. You might put them back upside down...

A few more for the collection.

Happy to track down a copy of Taluva that is tough to find on this continent. It's an Abstract tile layer with just about the thickest tiles I've seen - look to be over 3mm.

Look forward to also trying Limes.

Mouse Guard - Swords and Strongholds is a cute abstract that I like the looks of. It is based on the well known graphic novels. The author Dave Petersen and co-designer Luke Crane have created an actual game that the little adventurers are seen playing in the stories.

Glad you were able to track down so many neat looking games franks, I hope you have a lot of fun with them. The Mouse Guard game looks fascinating... :(y)

Also, your tablecloth (?) looks a lot like our living-room curtains in terms of colour as well as design. Just thought I'd say... ;)

Thanks Dan, yes. It's our favourite table cloth that we got at a thrift store. It was next to new at the time but is now well worn!

We got our first play of Swords and Strongholds in today and I'm working on an overview and 1st play impression that I will post sometime later Sunday Monday :)
