We had 3 or 4 sets.
And if you look closely, you can see some illegally placed pieces that somehow weren’t noticed when placed
Omg, tabulating the scoring on that :D
I like the idea of Carcassonne and have played it many times, but at a certain point I began to enjoy it less than I was annoyed that it never ended very neatly.
I also like the idea of the game, but often the first playing piece lying on the grass determines the winner. Or from then on, it’s just a battle to see who can place the most pieces on the grass. And the cathedral card usually comes at a very wrong time.
Interesting, that’s not usually been my experience.
I love Carcassonne and play it often but I don’t like putting a bunch of expansions in. I have three versions: South Seas, The Castle (a.k.a. Zamek), and Mists over Carcassonne, I play them separately and that way I think they end neatly and satisfyingly. My last game of Zamek with @smorkin came down to the last tile drawn!
Never played it, but hoping for a sale of it soon, sadly it is very expensive where I live. Might rent it to see how it is.
Carcassonne is also on Board Game Arena. One of the players needs a premium account, but that’s 5€/5$ for one month. Much cheaper than buying a game you might not like.
There’s a great Museum of Inquisition in Carcassonne.
It demonstrates with infinite detail the limitless imagination of medieval Christianity in bringing literal Hell on Earth. Mortifying
Oh my this gives me anxiety.
That’s not “a little.”
Nice! One of my favourite games.
I spot Base Game + River I x2 + expansions 1, 2, 3, and 5. Anything I missed?
We used to play the game with 2× base game, ~3 or so expansions (including Inns and Cathedrals), and one mini expansion. The game would take several hours, and everyone would just attempt to build a single giant city with a cathedral to get 3 points per city tile.
