Leagues (including expansion leagues) / Re: Basegame League - Round 8
« on: June 21, 2019, 02:17:27 PM »
Bekse asked me to write the games up as he was 'otherwise engaged' oh the ignominy of it all - not only did I lose both games but I have to talk about it, in front of you all!

Bekse romped away in Game 1 - stealing my city that I had worked so hard on and then finishing a second.   He also managed to join me on an 11 point road and beat me to the 15 point farm, recycling his meeples and even having one left at the end.

Game 2 a more even battle, reminded me of the old adage "When one door closes...another one slams in your face!"

A closer game full of if's, but's, then's and maybe's for me.   I was sweating on a CCC? tile to complete my city over on the right and needed the RRRR to complete my road AND cloister, recovering two meeples to be put to good use. But...Who pulled BOTH of them? No prizes for guessing who (Hint: it wasn't me)

Bekse 2 - dronedrone 0

I only came up with the idea whilst reviewing the lists in bed last night

What are the odds on this forming the basis of a question for Dan's 2019 Christmas Quiz?

Hi - welcome to the Forum.

Has anyone played ‘The Bather’ mini expansion yet ?
Am considering purchasing this from Cundco.de and wondered if anyone has feedback?

I suggest you try a search for "surgeon" on the forum as there are quite a number of different contributions which may help you decide.   I admire the fact that you are able to resist the temptation to buy every expansion you can get your hands on.   Some of us aren't so lucky...

How were the results of your game with Riker dronedrone?

Riker 1 - 1 dronedrone - Points difference to follow from Riker.

Riker won the first game comprehensively, I don't have a screen shot and Riker will be posting the detail after the weekend.

Game 2 - I managed to adjust my approach after my resounding defeat in Round 1 focusing on winning the 18-point field 4 Meeples to 3.   This took my attention away from the 19-point city that Riker managed to get a foothold in.   A couple of lucky tiles enabled me to hold on to the field and scrape through by the skin of my teeth.

Discovered that both players need to have the same version of JCZ to play, currently 4.4.1 - results to follow.

It would be perfect if someone had a table showing what expansions are available in what artwork, but I haven't found one. Here is a great overview, but it doesn't say anything about artwork

Hi PieceOfYou, welcome to the Forum.

As well as the excellent suggestions above have a look at the Profile/Summary Tab, it gives a list of expansions, split by artwork.

You see them often without the tiles, and just the software.
With the tiles having something unique on them

Hi Willem - can you please clarify what is unusual about the tiles, I can't tell from your picture.

Thanks

Congrats JackFace and Riker; looks like it's been a good round for the UK-based participants so far!

Not for all of us... I know that some of the folk in Cornwall are seeking independence but, as far as I know, we are still part of the UK... JackFace - 2 - dronedrone - 0
