The Barbarian Report Archives

[Whaleyland]

Over the past two months (plus a few from earlier), I've been writing reviews for all the Carcassonne expansions and posting them on BoardGameGeek. I originally did it because I wanted to get the OverText on my avatar. But with the Christmas donations bonus I got plus my annual donation for 2011, I got the OverText quicker than I anticipated. Anyway, I decided to keep doing the reviews and am nearly done. I haven't done a review for Crop Circles yet as I still haven't quite figured out how to use the expansion and have only had two attempts (yeah, English rules will be nice to have for that one). I also plan to do reviews for Cult, Siege & Creativity, mostly focusing on the new art for Siege, the extra Cult tile, and the creativity tiles, and I want to do a review for Count, King & Cult, mostly focusing on the compilation aspect rather than the individual components (reviewed elsewhere). After those three, I'll be done with the series. I hope to do some reviews for Hunters & Gatherers, The Scout, Ark of the Covenant, and New World after that. Unfortunately, I don't have any other Carcassonne games so reviews for them will have to wait. Anyway, here are the links to the various reviews if you feel like reading up:

Carcassonne

Inns & Cathedrals | Traders & Builders | The Princess & The Dragon | The Tower
Abbey & Mayor | The Catapult | Count, King & Consort | Wheel of Fortune | Bridges, Castles & Bazaars

River I | King & Robber Baron | The Count | River II | Cult, Siege & Creativity | Crop Circles
The Cathars | GQ#11 | The Cult | The Tunnel | The Plague | The Phantom | The Festival | The School

I've been following these on the Geek. Great stuff

*bump*

Added links for CS&C, CK&C, and Crop Circles. All current expansions and the base game are covered. I'll get ones out for the two new expansions as soon as I get them / playtest mockups for them.

I added new reviews for The Phantom and The Festival. I'm planning to do reviews for all the Carcassonne spin-offs soon as well, comparing them to each other and the base game mostly. The only tile-based spin-off I have yet to play is Discovery, though I have not played Cardcassonne or the Carcassonne Dice Game yet either (or the travel edition).

Yet another review is up! This one is for the school! Looks like I'll be adding seven new ones in a few months for the Carcassonne Minis, plus one for Tunnels, Corn Circles & Plague. Yay 2012!
