Title: The Barbarian Report Archives Post by: Whaleyland on February 03, 2011, 03:43:44 am Over the past two months (plus a few from earlier), I've been writing reviews for all the Carcassonne expansions and posting them on BoardGameGeek. I originally did it because I wanted to get the OverText on my avatar. But with the Christmas donations bonus I got plus my annual donation for 2011, I got the OverText quicker than I anticipated. Anyway, I decided to keep doing the reviews and am nearly done. I haven't done a review for Crop Circles yet as I still haven't quite figured out how to use the expansion and have only had two attempts (yeah, English rules will be nice to have for that one). I also plan to do reviews for Cult, Siege & Creativity, mostly focusing on the new art for Siege, the extra Cult tile, and the creativity tiles, and I want to do a review for Count, King & Cult, mostly focusing on the compilation aspect rather than the individual components (reviewed elsewhere). After those three, I'll be done with the series. I hope to do some reviews for Hunters & Gatherers, The Scout, Ark of the Covenant, and New World after that. Unfortunately, I don't have any other Carcassonne games so reviews for them will have to wait. Anyway, here are the links to the various reviews if you feel like reading up:

Added links for CS&C, CK&C, and Crop Circles. All current expansions and the base game are covered. I'll get ones out for the two new expansions as soon as I get them / playtest mockups for them. Title: Re: The Barbarian Report Archives Post by: Whaleyland on September 06, 2011, 01:11:45 pm I added new reviews for The Phantom and The Festival. I'm planning to do reviews for all the Carcassonne spin-offs soon as well, comparing them to each other and the base game mostly. The only tile-based spin-off I have yet to play is Discovery, though I have not played Cardcassonne or the Carcassonne Dice Game yet either (or the travel edition).
Title: Re: The Barbarian Report Archives Post by: Whaleyland on March 07, 2012, 10:00:42 pm Yet another review is up! This one is for the school! Looks like I'll be adding seven new ones in a few months for the Carcassonne Minis, plus one for Tunnels, Corn Circles & Plague. Yay 2012!
