Title: Revisited my expansions
Post by: CKorfmann on September 13, 2011, 05:53:38 pm
I'm posting this primarily for the newer members.  They are quite simple to add to a game and I don't think it's too hard to get the gyst of either of them.  I'm interested to know what you think of them.

The Missionary was the first expansion I made.  I started out thinking about expansions that wouldn't require new tiles since I'm not good at graphic arts.  I love this expansion and I use it almost every time.  Check it out and let me know what you think.  The Missionary (http://carcassonnecentral.com/forum/index.php?topic=866.0)

The King's Gate was originally my wife's idea.  We were thinking of ideas to use with our two Creativity tiles (incidentally, that's how I came across this site in the first place).  This was an early idea that I decided to do something with.  It went through some overhauling with the help of several people and the great artistic prowess of JPutt927.  I also use this just about every time and have given away about 5 or 6 sets of it to friends/family who play.  Here is the thread for The King's Gate (http://carcassonnecentral.com/forum/index.php?topic=840.0).

I can not take any credit for Shepherds, but the one hosted here is a redo of Kevin Graham's Sheep and Shepherds found on BGG.  It was the fourth of his expansions to make their way here.  I tweeked the rules a little bit and made all the pieces.  It was tedious, but well worth it.  I really enjoy playing it, but don't get to do so very often because I find that most of my games are teaching new players.  It uses an interesting twist on a familiar game mechanic that works really well and is fun to play.  Give it a look HERE (http://carcassonnecentral.com/forum/index.php?topic=937.0).

CKorfmann,

Just looked at The King's Gate (after having to search a bit to find the final PDFs) and really like the mechanic.

I will put it on my "to make" list.  Are there any quirks you discovered in playing with the expansion since you crafted the rules?

Cheers,

CARC_Zoner

Not really, it plays pretty straightforward.  I like it a lot.  It can be a pain if you're playing a large game.  Inevitably, the first one come early and the second late, but it is still interesting.  It's fun to snipe a big city with it too.   ;)

Do uno sguardo a tutto, se riesco a comprendere le regole, non sono molto bravo con l'inglese, prometto che appena ho finito di testare le espansioni che ho fatto li provo.

I glanced at all, if I can understand the rules, are not very good at English, I promise that as soon as I finished testing the expansions that I made them feel.
