I also got the advent package today  ;D
In fact, the postman came much earlier but my husband intercepted the package and only gave it to me today for St. Nicholas  :)  :-*

The meeple flags for scoring came nicely packaged in small envelopes. Its really wood!! For some of them you need to remove the protective film...
but see for yourself  :D

300 points it is not enough. At least 3000 points for a C2 Mega-Carcassonne (no PnP and CnP).

You can place at least two flags on a meeple... But you will surely need some extra helpers if you go beyond 500 points.

I was thinking of using tower pieces for extra 100 points... It may not be that practical if the scores go quite high, but you keep all the info together.

Well, I came back from my travels, and had a nice little box waiting for me!


Happy with my flags, new expansion and of course the Spiel tile!

Yay! I saw that it was delivered so I am glad it is finally in your hands. One 1st (and only) PixelPark.co.nz edition of Carcassonne. That one is definitely one of the more obscure copies in the world. Enjoy!

You will be happy to know that with the purchase money, I have bought for my work team Unstable Unicorns, Guillotine, and the latest Exploding Kittens expansion: Barking Kittens. I would have bought more "gamey" games but we have to be able to play in under an hour with minimal setup or rules for new players, so sticking with some fun Ameritrash games works best. That being said, I bought them a Carcassonne Big Box 6 last year, hence why having a second copy donated by a departing coworker was unneeded.

That is also good to hear! Lots of new games for the team! If you speak to the ex-coworker again, make sure to extend my thanks :)

Received my first Carc 2.0 package from Cundco after being a Carc 1.0 holdout. Got the anniversary edition so I’ll just keep these expansions with it. Tried ordering the scoring flags but unfortunately they are now out of stock for the bundle of colors (along with the Spiel 21 tile).

My stuff made it across the pond.  Not sure what I will do with the extra Spiel Doch tiles.

Arrived yesterday from @Rosco: I took advantage of his C1 liquidation.
Lots of holiday fun coming up!

Good luck with C2, @Rosco, and thanks for the Minis!

That is what my wife said.  I think we have too many flavors of Carcassonne already.

Can your postman dig a hole through the Earth to make Cundco shipping cheaper?
