Last week I got the idea of how cool it would be to play Carcassonne on the lawn.
So I put down the hours needed and this Wednesday we had our first go. Instant success.
I'm sure it will be a killer this summer with family and friends.

Target scale: 3:1
Meeples: Clay. Hand shaped one by one. Air dried. Acrylic paint. Double layer of varnish.
Tiles: Wooden base 140x140 mm. Laser printed back and front (135x135 mm) glued to base. Double layer of varnish.

No plans yet. This set is just 3 days old.
And the weight of just the set of tiles is about 4 kg.

If I do expansions, Traders and Builders would be the first.

After a dozen of rounds, we've cracked one meeple so now I've decided to remake the meeples in wood. And then it would be more natural to extend the games with big meeples and Inns & Cathedrals. Less material than my favourite extension Traders & Builders. A collapsable scoreboard in bigger scale would also be cool.

Plywood, laserprinted paper and varnish.
One tile is approx 55 gram, that makes the whole 72 to weigh just above 4 kilograms.
