river 1 + river 2

[wellidesigns]

how do you play these expansions together ? I have them both, but never mixed them
always chose 1 of them to play

but I'd love to use them together, eventually combined with Fishing hut (unofficial expansion)

I remove the source and lake from Rivers 1, remove the source from Rivers 2 and use the source from GQ11.

I play it as per the Rivers 2 rules.

I read an interesting variant on BGG: pull out all your source tiles and randomly select one to start play. The non-selected sources go unused.

Mix all the other river tiles together, including lakes, and randomly play them. When all ends of the river have been capped, set aside the remaining river tiles and begin normal Carcassonne play. The result is a different river every game, which may or may not include a fork.

Haven't played it yet, but I think this a great solution.

Now, that's a good sugestion.
We'll have a different river in shape, length and arm number.
That's an awesome idea since carcassonne itself...
This will make the river expansion a little tale of the unexpected.
That's a mini game a little apetizer before the big meal.
way to go!...

well, I meant a different river EVERY TIME YOU PLAY.

Go get yourself another set of River 2 and then really have some fun. Print off a couple of the extra river tiles on this forum like the 4 way and watch that river grow. We totally encircled Carc the other night, it was a very interesting game.
