No unboxing? No Dutch rules dangling around?

I've only opened 1 of my BB7's, the rest are still sealed for now.
But I can call you and recite the rules to you if you want?

Lovely! That sounds like music to my ears!

Today I received very nice package from @Meepledrone. Extra funky bridges and complete The mount of Duke fan expansion. Thanks a lot!

This is a way of punishing you...

Well, just some extra punishment...

What if you feel like implementing new expansions in JCZ now?

No way!

My copy of Zamek arrived today!

All of the tiles were pre-punched, depriving me of the satisfaction of punching them out myself.

The chaos inside the box was later tamed with the help of one of the two ziploc bags that were included.

Now to wait for Sokol and also design a tile bag.

My backwards compass arrived a couple of weeks ago! In the photo below, up is roughly southeast. On the conventional floating compass (left), the entire face rotates so that "N" on the face points North. But on the backwards compass (right), only the needle rotates, so you hold "N" on the dial pointing in the direction you are facing, and the red needle indicates the corresponding compass direction.

Wait, what does this have to do with Carcassonne?!

Well, when I wanted to create a version of @Decar's "Astronomers" variant that used the Wind Roses, I was having trouble accepting that compass directions on the tiles would not all be oriented consistently on different parts of the landscape. But the backwards compass reminded me that those compasses might reflect the directions that the observers were facing, which could be all different!

That is absolutely right, not only proven by a double postman visit today!

First, my local postman stopped by to bring this:

The Falcon expansion for The Castle, as made by Print&Play games in the US. I've given the gate pieces a try, which seem to fit ok, some tighter than others, but I'm sure it will work fine in a game. Will need to play this one soon!

Thanks for your post, Willem. Upon seeing this I ordered Falcon from Print&Play, and it just arrived yesterday. I can confirm that the tiles are just a bit thinner than normal, but the color is fantastic. Much better than my attempt at printing and cutting my own a year ago (see left side of picture). Oh, and it's free shipping in the US for any Americans out there who want to add this to their collection. Thanks again, Willem!

You're welcome! And of course thanks to Scott who tipped me on them!
Glad you're happy with your copy!

Triple fun today with shipments arriving simultaneously from the Netherlands (my Dutch base game with 70 point score track which I won in the generous giveway by @The Edge!), Germany (some C1 expansions direct from Cundco.de), and Poland (Zamek).

Postman stopped by today, with something other than what I was expecting.

I'm expecting a delivery from the US, but almost forgot I got this one recently and has now been delivered

A 10th edition HiG box, which I didn't have yet so when it popped up online, I couldn't resist getting it
