Strategy Guide / Re: Izbushka - Baba Yaga's Hut breaking the limits...
« on: September 02, 2021, 01:40:49 PM »
Imho it's just better to add a house rule to this tile, making any meeple on it work like an abbot does. If you don't place a meeple after placing a tile, you can remove the meeple from the hut, scoring the empty points. That way you don't need to waste a meeple for the rest of the game for just 7-8 miserable points.

Congratulations! I am so jelly, getting old C1 expansions is a blessing. I'm buying some flags for sure, would it be better to buy them from HiG or Gamecrafter?

I sent you a DM asking a few things I'm concerned about.

It's the only item missing in my collection.

I have a friend in Germany it can be shipped to.

Nice! I wanted to get the blue frozen meeples for a long time and they were never available.

And one of the bags is HUGE! It can hold 500 tiles, a full collection. Perfect for a massive game. Also ordered a few more spare tiles I need.

Yeah I'm gay and mexican/latino myself, not sure where you get all that stuff about me using derogatory, marginalizing, hateful words etc. from. Calling things by what they are is not something people should be offended for.

And while I support diversity in society, I think it has crossed the line being forced everywhere and on everything nowadays.

I like a medieval game that has fitting characters, and I like a prehistoric game with neanderthals or a tribe. Forcing diversity doesn't make me feel included. Making Ice Man from the X-Men suddenly become a gay character does not make me feel included, it just makes me cringe at good old games, movies and characters being changed everywhere all the time. It's ridiculous.

I agree this subject isn't something that should be discussed in CarcF though, so feel free to delete these posts and even mute me or something if you want.

Hopefully you can find a rock to crawl behind from an ever decreasing pool.

And I'm the one being called hateful. LoL.

They're *cavemen*. The game is about a single prehistoric tribe trying to survive during the ice age and it has mammoths and wolves, which means it's a tribe of NORTHERN cavemen in Eurasia or America.

The tribe could be either Asian, Caucasian or American Native looking cavemen. Even Neanderthals would work, but they should all look similar or have the same race because that's how tribes were in the past.

Complaining about a lack of diversity on CAVEMEN in a board game, and making them mix races like if today's diversity was present on a prehistoric tribe is just ridiculous. This generation is just ridiculous.

Yes I'm sticking to my old version, but that's not gonna stop me from saying how utterly ridiculous this is. What's next, another print of Carcassonne with a black princess and a latino knight on the box? Because diversity am I right? Who cares if middle ages France didn't have mariachi knights, a game not including all races is offensive! Lol.

Paleo getting a new print just for "diversity" complaints.

*sigh*, not even board games are safe from this progressist shenanigans. Can't wait to play with my black, transgender caveman.

A couple weeks ago they replied the email I sent two months ago.

Too much work for them I guess.

I placed an order last year that never arrived, probably lost at customs. Emailed them twice months ago and got no answers.

Queen of Games has them in stock. A site from Belgium; every time I buy all they have, but they seem to restock every time I buy them. Did it thrice btw.

Why?

I ordered 3200 sleeves. Not delivered yet but they're coming. I'm using them on the whole collection. Should be enough for every single Carcassonne game I own.

Interesting, didnt know about these "official" PnP expansions released by HnG. It says this is the second. Are there more? What's the first? Or third?

« on: May 24, 2021, 10:37:33 AM »
The rules used around here say that you can "move wood" (including Fairy, Builder, Towers) and then place the phantom. However, in the official Carcassonne App on iOS, this wasn't the case. You could place the phantom only if during that turn you only placed figures that count as meeples (follower, big follower, abbot). It wouldn't let you move the fairy or place a builder AND the phantom during the same turn.

I play the game this way since it makes more sense to me. Figures like the fairy, builder, towers and wheel of fortune meeples can only be placed *if* you didn't place a normal meeple during that turn, like you're forfeiting that option to move them, and the phantom counts as a normal meeple. Being able to use the phantom after any of these special figures feels too powerful.

In the end you can play it whichever way you want to.
