Title: Alternative Start Tiles Post by: Cianopanza on November 12, 2011, 03:47:44 am I drawn some variation of the "start tile"
They are CRLR-type (city, road, land, road) as usual start. These tiles can divide the fields and the first road in many different ways. You can download it HERE (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y282/ratatans/carcassonne_alternative_starting_mos.jpg) (revised version 11/15/'11), then print and cut. I hope you like it!... THE VILLAGE (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y282/ratatans/mini_carcassonne_start_mos_villaggi.jpg) This splits the upper field, the roads are divided THE WELL (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y282/ratatans/mini_carcassonne_start_mos_pozzo.jpg) This splits the upper field, the road is the same THE INN (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y282/ratatans/mini_carcassonne_start_mos_locanda.jpg) Start with an inn TWO ROADS (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y282/ratatans/mini_carcassonne_start_mos_campagna.jpg) This divides the field in three parts, everyone touch the city ROADS TO THE CORNERS (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y282/ratatans/mini_carcassonne_start_mos_corner.jpg) Nice! TWO HOUSES (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y282/ratatans/mini_carcassonne_start_mos_borgo.jpg) A single field THE FORTRESS (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y282/ratatans/mini_carcassonne_start_mos_bastione.jpg) Particular extravaganza (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y282/ratatans/mini_carcassonne_start_mos_star.jpg) xxx Title: Re: Alternative Start Tiles Post by: Carcatronn on November 13, 2011, 10:29:51 pm These are awesome! I especially like the Two Houses and The Well tiles. Definitely Printing these ;D

Title: Re: Alternative Start Tiles Post by: Cianopanza on November 14, 2011, 06:44:40 am Great ! Did you realise it with Photoshop ? Thank you! I used GIMP, it's quite the same :D After a lot of games played, I notice that the strategies are a little bit different using this starting-tiles. I notice that ROADS TO THE CORNERS are intriguing, because it often twists the fields upside-down. It's nice to play. TWO HOUSES creates a large central field, so there will be an interesting battle among farmers. THE FORTRESS it's not so strange, it can create a lot of small fields, it's very playable. I also thought a "two houses" variant, with a tunnel instead the houses, so you have a single field and a not interrupted road. STAR-CROSSED LOVERS are not very interesting :( I'll think something better, sooner or later... Any suggestions? What about these?

Starting the game with a unique model of tile is very interesting. Title: Re: Alternative Start Tiles Post by: Carcking on November 14, 2011, 09:21:06 am I like the idea of using the tunnels to continue the road while opening the fields up at the same time. {up

I like the tunnel idea too! Title: Re: Alternative Start Tiles Post by: Carcking on November 14, 2011, 10:28:47 am Cianopanza, are you MOS? I've seen these tiles before but I don't recall where exactly.
Title: Re: Alternative Start Tiles Post by: Cianopanza on November 14, 2011, 11:42:29 am Cianopanza, are you MOS? I've seen these tiles before but I don't recall where exactly. Yes, I am! :) I think you seen these tiles on Boardgame Geek Anyway... I just made two brand new tiles... the ideas number 1 and 3 THE TUNNEL (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y282/ratatans/mini_carcassonne_start_mos_tunnel.jpg) A single field and a not interrupted road. THE SUBWAY (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y282/ratatans/mini_carcassonne_start_mos_subway.jpg) For an asymmetrical development... You can download the revised version of starting-tiles HERE (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y282/ratatans/carcassonne_alternative_starting_mos.jpg) Title: Re: Alternative Start Tiles Post by: Carcking on November 15, 2011, 01:24:59 pm Cool! These are nice tiles. Great job! I downloaded the sheet and will be printing them. I'll probably print them all and use a draw bag to randomly select the starting tile each time we play. That'll be an interesting twist. :)

That's an excellent idea :D Title: Re: Alternative Start Tiles Post by: CKorfmann on November 15, 2011, 07:23:48 pm I'll probably print them all and use a draw bag to randomly select the starting tile each time we play.

You could also use several of them stuck together or stick them on the Wheel or city of Carcassonne, or both, or even throw a few of them in with the river tiles. That's what I do with the original start tile. Title: Re: Alternative Start Tiles Post by: Carcking on November 15, 2011, 08:35:42 pm Yes, that's what we do too when we're playing with the River.
Title: Re: Alternative Start Tiles Post by: Carcatronn on November 16, 2011, 02:22:55 am Yes, that's what we do too when we're playing with the River. Oh yeah, we do this with the River every time... but these new starter tiles would be a fun mix up ;) Title: Re: Alternative Start Tiles Post by: Cianopanza on January 25, 2012, 08:06:02 pm Hi!! ;)
Do you have any feedback for these alternative Start Tiles? ;) |
