Thanks Jéré a great run down of what you had to go through!  A merit to you for sharing

Yes that's true - hopefully you can see from my 'legitimate' photo that the game tiles are a slightly different shape.
The edges are move beveled.  Hence while I'm considering getting a WoF too for a Base Game.

The Russian finish is different, generally greens are greener too, which is difficult to capture in a photo. The tile surfaces are smoother, which I think helps the artwork; but I'm not sure the cardboard is so dense.

My only defence is you took such a good photo,  no other would ever be required.   Plus I referenced your image directly rather than copy it

I'll be doing some calculations tonight so people have an idea of costs etc.

Last Call for orders!

Consider my toes retracted. 

I thought someone with better skills in these areas would do a better job.  I'm just glad a few people got to use what I did though.

This is probably the wrong post for this chat though; so no doubt it will carry on on the Castle's thread!

A HAUL from the cundco shop:



Used all the Eggs (rotten as well): Ordered a plushie, The shepards, some stickers and 2 blank tiles.  They packed in a load of extra stickers

Great Responses so far!  Thanks everyone - there's a few things that need ironing out, but you're a great help!

Leagues (including expansion leagues) / CC Ladder - Volunteers Needed

« on: April 08, 2015, 02:14:46 PM »

I've been investigating other ways we could find partners to play Carcassonne and I've hacked together some PHP-code for a Ladder Tournament System.  I'm thinking this would run alongside the weekly & league games organized here at Carcassonne Central.  It's a continuous ladder so there's no end-date season etc.

Currently:
It lets you register [don't put in your good passwords],
Maintains a League/Ladder/Pyramid for all the players.
Lets you challenge people 3 places ahead of you on the ladder.
Sends you both emails with your addresses so you can work out when to play.
Gives you 7 days (configurable) to record your game.
Records all the results for people to see.

Does some other bits and pieces.

Bear in mind,  It's rudimentary, buggy, some of the text is totally wrong, some URLs might break.

I'm looking for some BRAVE volunteers who are willing to give it a go:

I have some caveats:
Generally, with less members, I'd like challenges to be made and played sooner than 7 days.
It's likely to all go wrong, so dont get upset if results are misrecorded/lost or what not.

So if you're willing to give it a go - let me know and I'll send you to the URL.

It's on my TODO list - I was just waiting for some technical input on terminology; that and another Carcassonne project I'm working on is getting in the way    Won't be long now!

Great Photo Curt! Love the yellow meeple sat there on his own.

I translated the descriptions of the castles over on the castles thread along with the rules. Check it out - it's a great read.

So, although we now have a small collection of about 30 or so games

I'll tell my wife that 30 games is considered a small collection
