Where did I read about a Spiel 2015 promo tile?

or was it just my imagination?

I guess I'll find out tomorrow...

It was mentioned in a German email I received (and probably you did too). Apparently you will get one if you buy anything from the Cundco stall.

Don't forget who your friends are!

Yes indeed! Sounds like a promising start with those 2 wins. And your finishing position was a lot better than we managed last year

I'm sorry I couldn't make it in time. I was caught in a Mysterium presentation and some trades I had arranged. Was hoping I'd make it in time, but alas.

Hope you guys had a nice time at the meeting. Maybe next year I'm better organized...

Next year - on Thursday - we will have an evening programm after the exhibition day with the members meeting and a fan-meeting together with KJW and Udo Schmitz.
More Information will follow.

I was on Thursday at Spiel in Essen.
As always I had my interview with HiG - Georg Wild - for the clarification of rules.
Georg Wild gave me the games for the members meeting (CC-StarWars and CC-über Stock und Stein). We met us at the tournament booth in hall 2 and then we went to the exit from hall 1 - there is a bistro with enough place to play the games. We put 2 tables together and had two games running. This year we had much to play - 2 spin-off games.

HiG tournament booth in Hall 2:

On Thursday was the Carcassonne last chance tournament.
This year the participants played with 4 different CC-spin-off games:
- CC - South Seas
- CC - Goldrush
- CC - Über Stock und Stein (over hill and dale)
- CC - StarWars

The winner of this last chance tournament - came then into the German championship.

'The German championship took place on Saturday.

Thursday - my day at Spiel 2015 in Essen:

During this day I had some short "meetings":

- talk with Thomas from "Herner Spielezentrum" - they organize the championship.
He told me that they have this year a professional team for video recording.
They hope to get a better video from the final world cup game.
At the Thursday morning Thomas was working - he liked to put 4 big round stickers for the world cup onto the button. But the first sticker (around 50 cm) didn't land onto the button. A visitor was running into the glue side of the sticker. That person had then a nice new design for his trousers - but the sticker was lost. That is the reason why only 3 stickers was placed on the button around the tournament booth and not 4 stickers.

- talk with Till from the CundCo Shop- Some members of CarcF helped the CundCo Shop with new description text for some articles. I met Till the first time but we had some telephone calls in the past. I like it to see the people in real life. We talked about the new shop design and about the history of the shop and that some of the wishes from the community are now a part of the assortment (blanc tiles for spin-off games, the City of Carcassonne as a start tile)

kettlefish, After winning the last chance you get to enter the German Championships. The winner of that enters the World Championship.

I noticed Japan had two entries in the ranking Jazbang shared on twitter. Do you know how this happened?

Perhaps Jo Negishi is the national Japanese Champion from this year (2015) and the Takafumi Mochizuki is the CC-world champion from 2014.

The CC-world champion from the last year has definitely a place in the actual world championship.
