...so the frames aren't necessarily completely useless, but I'm not sure what else one would do with them.

Oh if only you knew... the wonders one can achieve with them.

Waiting on you to share your tips with us!  ;D

General / What to do with Carcassonne Tile Press Out Sheets...
« on: January 25, 2023, 11:31:37 PM »
Hey everyone,
Sorry, not sure what they're called exactly, but referring to the larger card that the Carcassonne Tiles press out from in my question. Basically, what i'm wondering is whether people keep the remaining card after taking the tiles out or whether you toss them? I've got a large stack and half of me wants to toss it, the other half can't bring myself to do it.
So basically, do you keep them; and if so, what do you do with them?
Appreciate any insights. :-)

Also i'll update the post if someone can tell me what they're actually called. Lol.

That's fine. And thank you. Just made me curious whether it was custom meeple, fan expansion, complete bootlegs or what? Lol. So you answered my question. :-) Just wasn't sure what would be considered violating the rules. :-D

What were they selling out of curiosity?

Is there actually any news on this re-release of the winter edition? Do we know if they're eventually going to roll out globally? Really hoping to get a copy here in Australia, as postage is just ridiculous these days, but not sure how likely it is and my "googling" isn't resulting in much.

I would love to throw my hat in the ring for this little beauty. It would be treasured in my collection. Don't know how anyone can sell their treasures regardless of their value.  ;D

Pokessonne is a reskin of Carcassonne, including base game, River 1, River 2, I&C, T&C and the Fruit-Bearing Trees, all in Pokemon theme :D
Also a game called 3 Kingdoms Battle, which is very similar in base mechanics, but has mission cards and dice to roll. If only i know how they are used, but i need to learn Chinese first :o
Pokessonne looks awesome!!! Is that just a bootlegged version of the fan made game? If so, it needs to be published for real. Would buy in a heartbeat!

Hey All,

Has anyone here played the game Meeple Land? Just got a suggestion in my e-mail from Amazon about it and it looks like a cool little combination of Carcassonne and Roller Coaster Tycoon. Just wondering if many of you have come across this before and whether it's something worth playing for Carcassonne fans?

Cheers!  ;D

Are there any good places to purchase a genuine copy of the winter edition with the river expansion these days? Would love to get one, but sure eBay is full of fakes, all shops in Australia are out of stock and postage is crazy these days. If anyone knows any good locations it would be great. My poor little gingerbread man is so lonely.

How awful has the postage gotten for everyone else? It's nearly $18 just for a mini expansion plus 2 Ukraine tiles. Ordered due to fear of missing out. But postage which used to be reasonable to Australia is now doubling the cost of the order. Paid nearly double the cost of a large expansion all up. Was really hoping the Essen tile would be available to soften the blow. Apparently not!

How do you get this Essen tile? Is it going to be listed or is it a gift with purchases over a certain amount? Really don't know much about it.

Catan.  I went collector crazy with it and own all the expansions and extensions for it too, just like Carcassonne.  It doesn't have as many expansions as Carcassonne, but they tend to be more expensive.
I've been looking up everyone's favourites as they are shared and blimey. I had absolutely zero clue how many Catan expansions there were. I knew there was the base game and like 4 or 5 expansions I've seen in the shops. But the Wikipedia page was endless. Really surprised.
Dominion is now the second favourite of 3 people. It's a clear winner so far (not that it's a competition).

Thanks for that. Very helpful. Have you decided where you are ordering your copy from yet? Ill probably try the one suggested yesterday, but still trying to ensure ill actually like it.

Hey all,

Strongly considering placing an order for the new Zamek game and expansion from Poland. But been looking at some reviews and gameplay videos and kinda concerned as to whether i'll like the game due to my ocd and liking everything to match. Does anyone else with this kind of OCD own Zamek or the Castle and have some input on this? My concern (which may be obvious) is the fact that other than roads it appears anything can attach to anything rather than having a consistent flow of objects that match.
Fell like i'm constantly going to be wanting to have things match perfectly. Can doing this work in the game or do you have to get used to tiles not matching. Is it easy to get used to tiles not matching up?
Any input would be greatly appreciated, but especially from anyone who may feel the same as me but has had an opportunity to play the game anyway. Thanks.

Bonus Question: I've heard a lot of reviewers say its better than base Carcassonne. Do you agree or no? And if so what makes it better, because nothing has been jumping out at me.

Carcassonne South Seas for me!
That's counted as part of number one.  :D Number two has to come from outside the Carcassonne Series.

Been quite the diversity in games, been interesting learning about everyone's favourites. Quite a few I've never hear of myself. The idea of Fluxx sounds particularly interesting with the goals and gameplay changing throughout the game. So far Dominion seems to be the second favourite with two votes.
