Please try to play your match as soon as possible / you're able to, try to have it finished before 22 May 2020. If we can manage to finish it earlier than this, we will of course move unto Round 2 earlier.

I will send PMs to every pairing to ease you into the competition.

Good luck to everyone; and when you do get round to playing your match please don't forget to post the results and any screenshots you have here on this post!

Thanks

Good Luck All,

@Halfling drop me a quick PM or reach out on Slack anytime.
Working from home so pretty much can play at any time, just give me 30m heads up.

How about playing at 4pm UK?

Good Luck All,

@danisthirty drop me a quick PM here or BGA.
Pretty much can play at any time, just have to cater for the timezone difference and give me enough time for notice.

@Sinscerly Thank you for hosting the tournament. Your drawing software looks interesting. What is its name and do you have a link for it?

Haha, a game of Carcassonne doesn't take that long and sometimes decisions are fast token. I mostly think about 5 till 20 seconds about a placement. And after all it's only basegame so it shouldnt take that long

I used for the drawing: Wheel of fortune
I used for the recording: ShareX

Both are open source and work quite well

I record it as a gif and then transform it to mp4 to upload it to YouTube.

We've arranged for the same time as our practice game last week: 09/05/20 00:00 (Friday night/ Saturday morning) for me, 09/05/20 07:00 (Saturday morning) for Uhome.

A close game with danisthirty. I had some meeples almost being locked early on, but drawing the last crrr tile completed my city and two roads, freed two of my meeples and bagged some points. As the game goes on Dan developed a big city and also taken a big field. I successfully stopped the completion of big city and win by the monasteries and the points secured.

nice one! well done Uhome! Sinscerly and I have scheduled a game for Sunday.

Clay and I have just played our game, it was a game where I was thinking I had no chance to score something big in the beginning and looking to the end, I didn't really scored much point except 1 bigger city I had for my alone. It was a great fight, there a small city, there what biggers, then someone took over my very long road... $:-\$

and I had no tiles to do anything against it. Just silently trying to get unto the bigger farm into the end, and I made it, then in the last three turns another hostile meeple came and took over my shared farm... I grabbed on two other places a small farm of 2 cities and I had the luck to draw all four ffff tiles, which I've put 3 meeples on, the other cloister were used by Clay.

After 20/15 tiles remaining I had the thought, I can win it and when coming closer I started counting my score to come and was this battle has been won. Unless he gets the three last cloisters and use them good enough. Great game Clay, it was a nice game.

Sinscerly 108 -- Clay 87
