General / Cathedrals in Germany Defect?

« on: September 15, 2021, 08:35:51 AM »

Hello everyone,
I have noticed that my Cathedrals in Germany tiles have noticeably lighter backs than my other tiles.  This makes them identifiable from the back when drawing them out of anything other than a bag.  Does anyone else have this same issue with these tiles?  I'm considering ordering a second set of Cathedrals in Germany with the hopes that the replacement won't have this issue, but I won't do so if the whole run of them had this problem.

General / Dized App

« on: September 11, 2020, 06:34:47 PM »

So I saw on Cundco today that they are promoting a new app called "Dized" that helps explain the rules to new players in an easy to understand way.  Has anyone else tried it?

My take on it is not positive.  You have to pay for the tutorial videos, of which there are already plenty of free ones available on Youtube, and the rule set for Carcassonne does not include the rules for any of the expansions.  It doesn't even have the rules for the river or the abbot, which are packed in with all copies of the base game now.  Even worse, every time I try to read the rules, the app crashes on me, so for me, this app is a total dud in every possible way.

Official Rules / Halfling Sheep

« on: June 05, 2020, 01:00:47 AM »

I got my copy of the Halflings yesterday in the mail - finally!  I haven't had time to try it yet, but I already have a question about it.  One of the tiles has three sheep on it.  To my knowledge, this is the first time sheep have been printed on a tile.  The Wikicarpedia page says "You earn 3 points for the sheep on this tile if you guide your flock to the stable. A wolf cannot scare these sheep away."  These two sentences seem to contradict each other.  If you draw a wolf, do you get the minimum three points or not?
