I love the postman...

Lately the rules have been so poorly written; this gives them the possibility to update the rules and the QR code always goes to the latest version. Even better if they would go to Wikicarpedia.

If so we could have our revenge and tweak the rules... Mwahahahaha!

On April's Fool, Friday 13th or Halloween could happen odd things to some interactions....

Got a small delivery yesterday!

A Polish MoC!
It's very happy to join its friends in the Museum!

Needed to add something to an Amazon order to get free shipping, so this was what I choose:



The cover is the nicest part of the very thin book. The typesetting is very amateur. There are literally hyperlinks in various places which are completely useless in a printed book.

So it's look like self-printing release?

[Scott]

Yes, it’s printed on-demand by Amazon from files uploaded by the creator. I did some digging into “Charles River Editors” and found that they have a poor reputation for mining the contents of their books from free online sources. The bibliography is very long. One person on Reddit said that they steal a lot of their content from Wikipedia, but I didn’t see any references to Wikipedia in the bibliography from this particular book. But looking at how many books they’ve released on Amazon, it is a little suspicious.

I can think of at least one Carcassonne related book that's available on Amazon that would have been a much better investment!

The Burning Chambers by Kate Mosse?

I guess many of us receive a same or similar package these days... :-D

I was not happy when my copy of The Bets came with no foil. The same happens for The Drawbridges?

Mine hasn't even left Germany yet and it was posted about 12 hours after the sale started. Lol.

Yes, The Drawbridges were in no foil, just with a supporting cardboard, yet they arrived intact and well. What puzzles (annoys) me is that the rules are not included. There is a neat piece of paper which only bears a QR beside some illustrative words and pictures. I assume it is result of the rush with the publishing and at the same time fine tuning the rules because The Bets, a previous miniexpansion that I bought, came with a rule sheet.

Good to see Advent orders arriving!

I think the QR code instead of the physical rules might be something we'll be seeing more from now on.
WoH and Spell Circles also came without rules but only with QR codes on the envelopes.

The printed a PDF as is... Did you click on the links with a pencil? 

Any ideas for a fan expansion?

[Scott]

Reading the book reminded me of some fan expansions that already exist. I think all the highlights have been covered already.
