It's spelt Brummie, but we pronounce it Brommie in the north  Deatheux - no point spending money on something you don't like. Unless you are a true fan collector, and you are buying it just to be complete in which case you won't be playing with it. |

Canada Steve, Matt is a brommie and therefore not weird. I'm not sure what you mean by that  Are my wierdness and Brummiehood mutually exclusive? btw, I don't suffer from that abominable Brummie accent. No fear. |

Obviously I understand that this set is not to everyones taste, but can anyone who has the set confirm if it works as it's designed to? Does that catapult fire properly or is it a lost cause to try to aim properly? How robust is it and will it last over extended use? Personally I laughed out loud when I read the rules!
Cheers
Geoff

...Attempting to get this back on topic again...
The official Catapult page at BGG has posted two new images of the game actually being played. I sent a request to the poster to write a session report for BGG so we can hear a bit more. From how the picture looks, it seems the catapult launched the token straight up into the air, so high that it hit the ceiling even. If that is the case, it will be a game of less dexterity and more luck. It also will have to be played in places with high ceilings, although the guy on BGG has a pretty low ceiling. Hopefully he files a report! I am still waiting for the English version to come out; the German version is just too expensive right now (that catapult must be heavy because the cheapest shipping I found was around €9.00 on eBay to the UK).

Funagain lists this expansion as being expected on 18th November. Just a heads-up for those ordering online.

Has anyone noticed that the tiles for the RGG version of Catapult are slightly thinner than the normal tiles? I placed a stack of the 12 fair tiles beside the 12 River and 12 Games Quarterly tiles and the Catapult was an entire tile shorter than the other two stacks. Does anyone know if this is the same with the German version of the expansion? It is important that I know this before Christmas since I may gift the RGG version to a friend and buy a German version if they are the same. Thanks!

That's a pity because it will "dim" landscape a little bit. And that was a "must" on the game...

Sorry Novelty. I changed my post. I was reading this thread upside down, that is: I was reading the first post thinking it was the last. Anyway I was just doing some word-tricking.  |

My round tokens tend to fire backwards. I'm certain there is zero skill factor when using the thing. Which may be a good thing?

I hold the catapult on an angle so you can aim it a bit better, because they just go straight up if you leave it flat on the table.

Picked up my copy today… I can still post some scans of the tiles if anybody wants me to. Stray point: does anyone else think that the new design of the city skyline on the box looks suspiciously like the skyline I made for the FAQ site? At least, I'm pretty sure it's new, and I'm pretty sure it's suspicious |
