Hi all, For those unaware of what it is really going on, I will just break it for you: Christmas is coming!!! Again... So does Winter... at least in the Northern Hemisphere! In preparation of the coming events, here at Carcassonne Central, a lot is happening behind the scenes once again. The Meeple Council is in session discussing whether wonder tiles should be counted as 1 tile or as 5 tiles for the dragon... This is just a smoke screen, because the real agenda for today is... The Advent Calendar Quiz MMXXIII Stay tuned, because on December 1st Fate will be knocking at your door... Will you be there to open? What surprises will it bring? Ready or not, the clock is ticking! Can you hear it?

The Drawbridges will be release for the Advent Campaign, but some online stores are already listing it for 5.90€ and higher (pre-order only or course) https://www.milan-spiele.de/-p-35730.htmlhttps://www.sirengames.at/en/CARCASSONNE:-Die-Zugbruecken---DE_1_30743This mini-expansion contains a new type of tile, where the time of scoring is crucial. If the drawbridge is down, the meeple can move from the road to the city to score extra points. How does the drawbidge position change? We don't know yet, if this actually happens. Here you can find a couple of images... Have fun!

Prologue
Dear Meeple Diary, This was the plan... Well, it wasn't formulated as it finally turned out, but all the pieces where ready for it...  Some sweet offerings, some promo tiles, some undisclosed expansions, a secret project and a long shopping list... What would be the right timing? How would things unfold in the end?. No idea... The Pinkassonne secret project would be revealed to the gang upon arrival, but the person who knew everything about it wasn't arriving until Friday... Chaos could unravel... or maybe not. And also, the secret plan under wraps. Ah yes! Willem should not suspect a thing... Hush! Hush! Keep calm... So many emotions to keep contained and an unexpected climax on Sunday... Plans within plans... Scheming and plotting for months... Everything was arranged but the details weren't written in stone... yet. Time to take off. XOXOXO Meepledrone
PS. Hope this year the Grinch doesn't remove any diary entries. He's become too picky and removed anything containing sensitive information such as prefererred expansions, expansion leaks or actual meeple heights. Hope that the Danisthirty meeple helps me keep him at bay this time.

This weekend an event in Carcassonne is taking place. People like the idea of playing Carcassonne in Carcassonne and I don't know why!  Here you may find a summary of the activities. * French (full info): https://www.tourisme-carcassonne.fr/temps-forts/festival-du-jeu-carcassonne/* Spanish (full info): https://www.tourisme-carcassonne.fr/es/momentos-culminantes/festival-juegos-carcassonne/* English (short info): https://www.tourisme-carcassonne.fr/en/calendar/carcassonne-games-festival-2/Asmodee took advantage of the whole thing and celebrated the French Carcassonne National Championship. I would like to congratulate @Linksux for participating in it and reaching the second position. He fell in the finals against the national champion. We feel very proud in you!!!  KJW and Marcel Gröber didn't show up, so no meet and greet or personal tiles this time. But HiG put in place a nice treasure hunt that is keeping everyone busy. You have to go to different points in the old city searching for activities representing different ages related to Wonders of Humanity... If you succeed in various challenges, you will get the associated wonder tile and a stickers your event "passport". The back of wonder tiles feature the pieces of a map, that you can assemble and guide through your quest, since it represents the city od Carcassonne. Once you have all the four wonder tiles, you may face the final challenge and get a precious prize: a bag full of Carcassonne coins... I couldn't be there but had a lot of feedback from people on the ground. So I share what I got... starting with pictures of the wonder tiles in the order you collect them and how the back of the pieces form a map of Carcassonn step by step. Thank you all for your help!!!

Dear all!
After finishing the Sunday Quiz 2022 series about combining expansions, I would like to go back to basics and address some issues you may find in a game with and without expansions...
Let me know if you want to explore some special cases...
Enjoy!
