Pirates!

[Wishmaster]

There's absolutely stacks of of variants, tile add0ons and new rules on the internet for free down load. If only there way time enough t make them all up!! However, has anyone here come across 'Pirates & Plunder'? This one's different as you don't need Carcassonne in the first place - It's a free downloadable print and play game, supplied in pdf format, and looks really good. The boardGame Geek link is:

Worth a look... 

.....There is another free print and play game on the way........ but I've not finished it yet!!  (end of Summer, maybe)

Sounds like Carc The Discovery to me. Pirates feature in that game quite a bit.

Good find, wishmaster!  I've been overwhelmed by work lately (evenings too, bleh) but once more time frees up I'll be adding these to the Variant Registry!
