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!

It seems HiG is overlading up with their sneak peeks... https://cundco.de/detail/index/sArticle/497 The description says: Machen Sie sich bereit, Ihr Carcassonne-Spiel mit der aufregenden neuen Erweiterung "Felder, Mühlen und Wetter" auf die nächste Stufe zu bringen! Mit dieser Erweiterung haben Sie noch mehr Möglichkeiten, Ihr Territorium strategisch zu erweitern und Ihre Gegner zu übertreffen.
Pflanzen Sie Feldfrüchte an, bauen Sie Mühlen und nutzen Sie das Wetter zu Ihrem Vorteil, um wertvolle Ressourcen und Punkte zu sammeln. Aber Vorsicht vor Überschwemmungen und Dürren, denn das Wetter kann auch gegen Sie arbeiten!

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 again. The Meeple Council is in session discussing whether phantoms should be allowed to be reinstated as acrobats... This is just a smoke screen, because the real agenda for today is... The Advent Calendar Quiz MMXXII Stay tuned, because on December 1st you have a date... Ahem... a date with FATE DESTINY 'S CHILD! Ready or not, the clock is ticking!

Prologue
October 4th 2022 Dear Meeple Diary, As you well know, it all started in August. After a few tries, I couldn't put together a party of valiant Iberian Carcassonne fans to attend together the Essen Spiel fair. I was on vacation, so I was just relying on pure luck to be able to succeed in September. All of a sudden, I got this message from Tom to join a Carcassonne Central party to Essen along with Dan and Willem... Holy Meeples! I was reading the messages as I was wandering the streets of Mallorca admiring the peculiar signs written on cans. All of a sudden, I found myself staring at this traffic sign... Was this any type of heaven-sent sign? It took me 5 milliseconds to say yes. XOXOXO Meepledrone
