Well, Leven beat me yesterday in a game, where he placed his barn inside a loop, which he completed with the tile of that turn. This also featured just 2 cities, plus one of Levens farmers, so he made a total of 14 points with his barn, which was way better then maybe having no option for the barn later on, and therefor a good strategy.

It's very well deserved in this case I think.

...but also for making yourself available to host games all the time :)

As well as the 4-player game with jma03, jungleboy and kettle I also managed to get in a couple of head-to-heads today too. I'm posting them here for the sake of completeness and because another of Carcassonne Central's legends has come out of the woodwork as a result!

danisthirty vs jacobo (jma03) (base game + Inns & Cathedrals)





This game felt very evenly balanced and really came down to the wire. jacobo perhaps over-invested in the northern farm which was the first farm to emerge and this gave me a better shot at winning the southern farm which ended up being more valuable (as well as a 9-point farm in the middle which I never managed to merge with the southern farm). I only just managed to keep my share in this as he outfarmed me with his double-meeple and it was purely down to good luck on my part that I was able to tie it with one of the final tiles of the game.

Dan vs Chris (CKorfmann) (base game only)





This was CKorfmann's "gentle" introduction to the world of Carcassonne Central's online play using JCloisterZone. The game felt like I was playing myself as Chris did exactly what I would have done 90% of the time. However, the tiles always seemed to be drawn in my favour and the result of this was that the final scores in no way represented how close the game had been or how hard fought the game was. Well played!

Dan vs Chris (CKorfmann) (base game + GQ11, King & Robber Baron + The Phantom)





Chris closed the big city in the middle after a short battle which got the game off to a good start. This won him the King tile which he kept for the rest of the game but I managed to win the Robber Baron and the two balanced each other out almost exactly. This was a great game for me as I always seemed to draw what I needed and never seemed to run out of meeples. The fact that I won the two main farms by 3 farmers against 2 in both cases wasn't enough to guarantee me the game but Chris struggled to fight back as I was quite vicious in my trapping of his meeples. So even though he beat me by 34 points from cloisters (after drawing all but one of them!) the tiles drawn denied him any opportunity to overtake me...

I had yesterday also some online games - friendly games with base + Abbey&Mayor.

First game was with AndrewTheAmbo

For AndrewTheAmbo was it a test game for training.

With the tile (green) I was able to join the farms with the barns.
In total - the tiles were much friendly for me.

I am very tired, but I will also post my games.

I wrote a PM to CKorfmann and gave him the links to JCloisterZone.
I am happy that he has tested the game with you danisthirty.

and here is my game with Jéré. - base game and Abbey&Mayor.

Here I have to say - Jére was lucky to get all tiles what he needed to claim into my big city and he got the mayority of it and he block my Mayor...

And he was happy to get the very last tile to join with his barn farm into my barn farm.

You have been indeed very gentle, allowing him to take blue.

Red was very lucky for me in these games. Now I know why the likes of MrNumbers, CarcKing and Rosco always choose it!

Well, if one can claim merits for posting screenshots of barns then here I present you my barn from our league game with Hounk. :)
Although the barn only scored 8 points at the end of the game for the 2 cities, a very important aspect of placing it here was that my two farmers could return to my supply (besides those other two from the completed road and cloister), and it gave me a big advantage in the final stage of the game. (At this moment I had 6 followers while Hounk had only 3.)

It also scored my wagon on the road leading from the left branch of T, worth 7 points, and the farmer below scoring 8 points, as well as the thief for 7 points, would have scored and returned to you anyway, but I agree, that the placement of the barn was absolute the right thing to do in this moment. After all, it nearly doubled the worth of your barn, gave you an extra farmer back and it was doubtfull, you could have get the oportunity to put your barn down somewhere else for better profit.

Great, you put the moment of scoring onto a screenshot. :D
