So this is sort of strange

I made up a list of Carc tiles I have/want

If my math is correct, there are 353 tiles if one has a copy of the different official sets, from base set through to Wheel of Fortune

Then I added an extra Tower for the Black Tower ruleset.

Next I did the Custom Fan sets I plan to do.

The came out at 406

The total is 777 (sorta freaky)

For comment here is the Custom list I plan to do over time.

Forests + Timber + Log Cabins = 174

Fishermen + Fish Huts = 72

Mountains + Gold Rush + High Places = 93

Wells - The Pope of Av - King's Gate - Cleric & Serf - Wheat Fields - Vineyards - Lavender - Mills & Bakeries = 74

Comments welcome on my list

Nice list of custom expansions.  How are you making them?

Having made so many custom tiles myself, I really must recommend printing the tiles onto full page label paper. Then cut them out, remove the backing, and stick 'em onto the blank tiles! They'll stick perfectly, and remain attached. I just have a feeling that's going to work way better than gluing them...and will also help to make the tiles blend in better with the rest of them. Just thought I'd throw in my two cents.   Smiley

If that seems to work, then you might as well keep going with it. Just trying to help!

I agree with JPutt.  I use sticker paper and it works great.  Saves a step too.

Is the sticker sheet just like one giant 8 1/2 x 11 sticker?  Or is a sheet with smaller stickers on it?

Where the best place to get that?  I live in a really small town so our Wal-Mart doesn't have anything exciting (not even a Super Wal-Mart).

I'll probably have to order online.  Any experience with where is cheaper and the best value?  I'm actually getting pretty stoked to do this.

Yes, it is one large, single sheet.  It works well.  I just cut them out with scissors, stick them on, and trim them up with an exacto knife.  If you have a printer that can handle borderless printing, you can actually fit 20 tiles to a sheet. 

I got a ream of sticker paper from Staples.  It is 30 sheets for $12.99.  HERE is a link for the product on their website.

Thank you!  That is perfect!  My wife works up in the big city so I may have to bribe her to stop at a Staples.  Sweet.
