- Gingerbread Man: I love the classic taste of today's question.
- Easter Bunny: Aren't you going a bit early?
- Gingerbread Man: How so?
- Easter Bunny: The previous question was posted barely 1 hour ago.
- Gingerbread Man: Bah! That is already yesterday.
- Easter Bunny: I wouldn't like to hear any complaints later.
- Santa Claus: Come on! The more questions the merrier!

- Easter Bunny: I see spreading joy is your motto in life!
- Gingerbread Man: Happiness cannot be contained!
- Snowman: Any volunteers to tell that to The Grinch?

HiG, I want Wheel of Fortune in C3!

Not sure if Question 16 is a trick or a mistake...

- Gingerbread Man: The picture summarizes all the actions between drawing the tile and the end of the turn.
- Gingerbread Man: The position of the Pink Pig is the one before drawing the tile.
- Gingerbread Man: The meeple on the tile will be deployed after placing the tile.
- Danisthirty: I see... Something smells funny in Carcassonne!

- Gingerbread Man: "Something smells funny in Carcassonne" ?? Well, may I remind you that it was YOU who fooled all the contestants by only using 3 expansions last time instead of 4.....

- Danisthirty: ... oh, you noticed that

- Danisthirty: yeah, I did not have much time, ... His Meeple Highness ... ,you know...

- Gingerbread Man: I know ...

Meepledrone · « **Reply #101 on:** December 16, 2022, 07:32:27 AM »

- Meepledrone: (passing by) You may say what you want, but I detect four different expansion symbols...

- Fir Tree: (a bird chirps)

- Meepledrone: Meeples with glasses... Ha ha ha! Sure?
- Fir Tree: (the breeze moves two branches)
- Meepledrone: You think... C1 was crazier?

Challa007 · « **Reply #102 on:** December 16, 2022, 07:41:55 AM »

Hahaha...

in German we say "Haarspalterei" - pettifoggery ...

Whatever... I can only see one expansion line for that in the WICA

That’s what I thought, but I answered both ways to be safe.
