General / The final battle
« on: October 21, 2018, 02:50:41 AM »
A few days remain to know the name and nationality of the king or queen of Carcassonne. There will be many candidates who, physically in Essen but mentally in the fields of Carcassonne, will fight for the prized honor of leading all the carcassonneras and carcassonneras.

After regional skirmishes and battles for the control of entire countries, the final battle arrives. On October 27 someone will dominate the world, and it will not be Trump or Putin.

Who will it be? From the Plaza de Carcassonne we pointed several names to stand when they all have fallen with the meeples sliding between their fingers.

Favorites:

Pantelis Litsardopoulos (Greece)

He has won two World Cups to date, he has participated in all the finals since 2013 and he is the Gold Meeple. Without a doubt he is the top favorite. Only the pressure he feels to maintain his legend can play against him.


Tomasz Preuss (Poland)

He is the current world champion and the great alternative to Pantelis. To revalidate the trophy, I would also have almost sure the Gold Meeple of 2018.


Martin Mojzis (Czech Republic)

Although on paper, Mojzis may be behind Pantelis or Tomasz to win the World Cup, we must not lose sight of him. In fact, we bet on him. He has extensive experience in the tournament, has also been World Cup winner and never fails to the high places. Why is our bet for this year? Because he should feel less pressure than his aforementioned rivals.


Matej Tabak (Slovakia)

Close the poker of great favorites, Matej Tabak (4th in the Gold Meeple 2017). The Slovak usually falls in the semifinals but the arrival to a final is a matter of time, will it happen in 2018? In addition, like Martin Mojzis, Tabak will have in his favor a lower pressure than Pantelis and Tomasz.

The participation of these great masters of Carcassonne returns to give the tournament a very high level. Complicated will be the four to win but more so the rest of the participants, because just like the immortals, there can only be one!

To consider:

Lorenzo Miguel Soler (Spain)

Every year we have hope in our representative but this year we do believe that we can sneak into high positions. Lorenzo will have against the nerves that can feel to debut in the World Cup but we trust that his age (50 years) will help alleviate this.

Why this year we believe more in the Spanish representative? Lorenzo Miguel has won the first national of Spain with four rounds of 1vs1, including the final. This 2018 we have seen the National most similar to the World Cup and, therefore, logic says that our representative is better prepared than other years.

Absences:

This year we will miss Vladimir Kovalev (Russia), Takafumi Mochizuki (Japan) and Els Bulten (Holland). They already stayed out of the top 5 of the Gold Meeple 2017 and this year they do not participate in the World Cup. Bad times for the three who, not long ago, triumphed in Essen. We will also miss a representative for Australia, a country that is in 9th place in the world ranking.

What will happen in Essen on October 27? Who will commit an error that will haunt you all your life? Who will risk and thanks to that reckless action will conquer the fields of Carcassonne? Who, fruit of the nerves, will see his hand tremble when placing a tile? Who will shake the hand of his rival after winning the World Cup?

Only the meeples know it.

General / Gold Meeple 2017
« on: October 09, 2018, 02:29:47 AM »
In January the 2018 gold meeple arrives. This was the top of the gold meeple 2017.

Pantelis Litsardopoulos - Greece

Revalidate the Gold Meeple!

Pantelis is synonymous with Carcassonne final. Sometimes he wins, as in the years 2013 and 2015, and other times he wins "the other". The difference is that "the other" changes every year and he is always in the carcassonne.

Tomasz Preuss - Poland

Currently Carcassonne world champion, Tomasz Preuss is second in the Gold Meeple. Preuss, who won five World Cup victories last year but stayed out of the highest positions, represents the great alternative to Pantelis to dominate Carcassonne during the World Cup. next years.

Matej Tabak - Slovakia

If he continues to participate, Tabak will win the first World Cup for Slovakia. For the moment, he usually waits for his final assault on the Carcassonne crown from the semifinals. This year it was in 4th position.

Martin Mojzis - Czech Republic

Never fails to the top positions of the World. He has played several finals being the world champion in 2012. His regularity is spectacular and last year he was at the gates of this ranking. This year he enters the 4th position with his sixth place in the world past.

Davide Sandrin - Italy

Close our Top5, Davide Sandrin. Unknown until now, he has burst into the Carcassonne panorama with his 3rd place in the World Cup. Will it remain high in 2018?

Regarding last year's ranking, Vladimir Kovalev (Russia), Takafumi Mochizuki (Japan) and Els Bulten (Holland) are out.

General / the monk
« on: October 09, 2018, 01:29:41 AM »
In favor:
Meeple recoverable.
In normal conditions it usually gives between 7 and 9 points, a sum that can give the victory in a very tight game.
It can compensate in an easy way several lost farms.

Against:
With experienced players, there are many possibilities of not being able to recover the monk.
There are score limits: 9

Our opinion:
The monastery is a key piece and through it you can observe the skill of a player. Many times, the monks approach the victory but, before great players and according to the phases of the game, it can cause us to run out of meeples.

What else is happening to you about the monk?  ;)

General / EEUU, Japón y la República Checa dominan el mundo
« on: October 06, 2018, 02:37:18 AM »
El sábado 27 de octubre se celebrará el Mundial de Carcassonne. Este año, el día cambia de domingo a sábado y tras el torneo la organización tiene preparada una pequeña fiesta para los participantes. Sin duda pasarán un día inolvidable. Pero centrémonos en lo que nos tenemos que centrar: la competición carcassonnera.

- ¿Competición? ¿Pero Carcassonne no era un juego familiar?

- Sí, y el fútbol son pachangas de solteros contra casados. La Champions es una ilusión colectiva.

El año pasado, de Essen salió vencedor Polonia, pero queremos preguntarnos, ¿qué países dominan en cada zona del planeta? Ya son muchos años de mundiales y las posiciones que cada país ocupa en el ranking no es por casualidad. La flauta se rompe antes de sonar varias veces. Ojo, esto se basa en los puntos conseguidos en los mundiales, no en los torneos ganados.

Europa:

La República Checa posee el nº 1 del ranking mundial y, por lo tanto, también es la mejor de Europa. Los checos suman 157 puntos. Muy cerca de ellos están sus vecinos, los eslovacos, segundos en el ranking con 150 puntos.

América:

Estados Unidos es el dominador en este continente. USA tiene 18 puntos y se encuentra en el puesto 26 del ranking. Le sigue Brasil, nº 27 con 16 puntos.

Asia y Oceanía:

Domina Japón desde el nº 7 del ranking con 90 puntos. Y, como en los otros dos grupos, la batalla está muy abierta. Australia y Taiwan, con 78 puntos cada uno, se reparten el nº 9 del ranking.

África: Sin participantes.

¿Qué pasará en 2018? Cada ciudad cerrada, cada monasterio completado... puede hacer que todo esto cambie. Y lo contaremos en La plaza de Carcassonne.

General / Tipos de jugadores en Carcassonne
« on: September 12, 2018, 11:50:26 AM »
Aquí os dejamos varios tipos de jugadores en Carcassonne. ¿Se os ocurren otros?  :)

PRO: Nunca dice “no” a una partida de Carcassonne y se sabe todas las losetas que existen. Si la partida está avanzada y le ves muy concentrado, no lo dudes, está contando mentalmente las losetas que quedan por salir. Equilibrio entre la creación propia y la destrucción rival.

Mou: El jugador Mou siempre gana... y si no gana echará la culpa a su mala suerte o, lo más probable, a la suerte del rival que le venció. Por el “¡qué suerte!” le reconocerás.

Campesin@
: Está obsesionad@ con las granjas. Un día perdió una partida por culpa de los campesinos y juró que no volvería a suceder. Ganar la partida ya es otra historia.

Tapado, Sim City...
