Comedy custom tiles

[Novelty]

I was thinking about having warrens on the farms... warrens, are holes where animals like foxes stay in.  I have no idea what warrens will do, perhaps counter a farm or something.  Anyways here's a farm with a warren:





  And if you don't get it, I'll let for Joff to explain

Warrens house predators, which prey on livestock, thereby reducing the effectiveness of farms (assuming the farm is used to produce livestock). You could use a field with a warren to add to an opponent's farm, might be a good way to combat giant farms where you aren't able to out-farmer her. Or perhaps kill pigs...

Heh, I'm sure Joff would be thrilled to read that

This is the comedy tile thread gantry, not the variants forum.  I have no intention of making any further warren tiles

rofl... got me, i was too quick to hit reply

The surname Warren comes from those that hunted livestock that was considered a nuisance (eg: rabbits, hares, foxes, cats, sorry, my daughter will not allow the last animal to be considered a nusiance ) and rid them off the land, or a gamekeeper. Hence, the term 'warrener'.

Ok... All players start with a 'warrener' tile, in a similar way to having an Abbey tile. On his turn the player may use the 'warrener' instead of drawing a tile (like the use of the Abbey). The warrener can only be placed in a hole (same way as an Abbey is played) and brings roads and cities to an abrupt halt, but not farms. The player that places the warrener on his farm scores an immediate 100 points, in addition to any farmers points (of his colour) already on the field (as long as the field is complete). If there are other farmers of an opposing colour in the field, they are counted as minus points for that colour (minus 3 points per completed city, when the field is complete). Only players that have the 'official' surname of 'Warren' are allowed to use the tile. All other uses are illegal and lose that player 100 points.

How's that for a variant? I think this a good idea

Edit: BTW, thought i'd better explain, my surname is indeed Warren

My wife's maiden name is Warren. She is a VERY good shot when we play paintball. I see the connection now.

I just hope that I never get classified as a nuisance as you put it, or perhaps I maybe subject to a visit from the "Warrener".

Thanks for the lexicon lesson.

A mobius loop road tile would yield an infinite number of points.
