Carcassonne Central

So C,S&C will have at the very least 2 blank tiles.  What will you do with the 2 blank tiles?

I was looking at the Friar and Farmhand (http://boardgamegeek.com/file/info/14874) expansion (not mine, and I'm not selling it on ebay, so please do not be rude to me).  Are there any other interesting fan-made variants/expansions with 2 tiles out there?

i hope that the blank tiles will have a greaer impact on the game than only... "free tiles"...

just hoping.

I have seen Friar and Farmhand and that does appear to even up when using the King and Robber Baron. If it is only 2 blank tiles, I think this would lend itself to a perfect use!

of course the blank tiles looks to be a "make yourself a tile" sounds behind to me, with all tiles created by novelty here, RGG/HiG will just be late on this call... they are like 50 blank tiles behind!!

from: Game Description: The Cult adds 6 tiles, Siege adds 4, and creativity lets you design your own.
"Game Description: The Cult adds 6 tiles, Siege adds 4, and creativity lets you design your own. "

nothing much... hoping that siege tiles will rock your sox off!!

Urm... back to the 2 blank tiles... someone can start a new thread to talk about the siege tiles

What will you do with the 2 blank tiles... and do you know of any fan-made custom tiles or expansion that would be good to be used with the 2 blank tiles.

I don't have enough of an imagination to commit to using them for something.  Perhaps a snow field?

You mean like these? Wishmaster might have objections as the concept is rather similar to solstice wars :)

I will use mine for my Pub & Brothel - expansion.

 :a4

I can't find any "Pub & Brothel" listed in the variants registry... do you have a list to the expansion... and how do those 2 tiles look like?  Are there pictures somewhere? ;D

Yes.... He might!! 

All in good time ;)

Bit off topic, but Novely, How did you create those two Solstice Wars tiles? As in; What with and did you draw from scratch or import the images from somewhere (where?).

I sent a PM, but the cottages and the road are from Carcassonne... so if you are thinking about producing stuff commercially, the first tile probably shouldn't (and cannot) be used.

Two blank tiles is not much to do anything with. Friar and Farmhand is the only expansion that comes to mind that is only two tiles. The idea of having equivalents for cloisters and farms appeals to me, but the mechanics of these features don't lend themselves well. It isn't possible to make a larger cloister; each occupies only one tile. Farms can increase in size, but are never completed until the end of game.

I thought about Friar and Farmhand, but decided I wasn't going to use them basically because it would be a waste for the 2 tiles.  The King and Robber Baron has the images on both sides of the tiles, presumably to avoid confusion with a playable tile.  Likewise, Friar and Farmhand probably needs to be the same, and can be easily done with some cardboard.

I'll use the 2 blank tiles for Cathars instead.  2 tiles now, 2 tiles with the 2nd box of CS&C.  What will I do with the extra 10 non-blank tiles from the 2nd box?  Well, I haven't yet decided, but it should be easy to create 10 custom tiles that I want to paste over the tiles from the 2nd box.

That is a very, very good point.

You know, there's a pair of custom tiles I pulled through a link on Martin Storbeck's site. They are of a road passing through a city. On one tile the city gates are open, on the second one they're closed (thus cutting off the road).

From what I remember, there were no rules to go with this unique pairing, but their simplicity appeals to me. They would be a perfect fit for "two blank tiles."

Can you please provide a link to the tiles, Cappy?  I'd like to see them :)

Yeah, I'd be willing to share them, but I'm a bit leary of posting them without giving credit where it's due. Give me a day to see if I can track down their original source. :-[

Heh, oh no, please don't post them.  I'd like to have a link the original source if possible.

Found them!

They come from "Weg durch die Stadt" by Silvio Schumacher. At the very bottom of the page: http://www.carcassonne-welt.de/ideen.php (http://www.carcassonne-welt.de/ideen.php) click on the picture itself to download the zip.

No rules that I can find to go with the tiles, but the open/closed gates just beg for something...

Thanks Cappy!  Wow, that site has got interesting tiles.  Hmm... I think I'll pass on those... I like the idea there, but am now sure if I would like to play with those tiles.

I'm trying to contact the artist who drew the 2 tiles to ask him a few questions (and whether he'll draw a robin hood for me!).  Does anyone know how to contact him or if he has a webpage?  Please PM me.  Thanks.

All this fuss and bother cos Cult Siege and Creativity has two blank tiles..... but no one's mentioned that you get ONE blank tile in 'New World'.
