A farm contining the Bee icon gets a Honey (Bee) trade counter at the end of the game for the majority occupier of the farm. The player with the most Bee counters, gets an extra 10 (or more) points? (or perhaps even for the minority occupier of the farm?)

I love this idea by Joff. Does anyone has some more suggestions on how to use these tiles  ? I'm not very creative when it comes to making up new rules.

My idea was to place a meeple on them, when surrounded by tiles you get a bee token and 9 points. meeple returns to player
those with most bee tokens at the end get a 10 point bonus


very simple and easy, as said I 'm not that creative ...lol...
so who has some better ideas ?

I like your idea better.  Why make things too complicated?

As opposed to another trade goods type??

How about as a builder type?  If a player plays a lavendar tile that connects to their farm with at least one of their farmers, they get to pick a second tile and have a second go (but not a third) during the same turn?

When a farmer in a field is scored before the end of the game (i.e. with a barn), and the farm contains lavendar tiles, the farmer gets bees token equal to the number of lavendar farms on the field?  At the end of the game, the person with the most bee tokens get 10 points?

The reason for this is Cloisters are difficult to complete at the best of times, we also have shrines and goldmines... I can see this as getting difficult to complete.

It's a shame that you couldn't enclose every 'honey farm' with a road Wink




The bee farmer scores X number of points per tile enclosed with road... just thinking aloud!

it was indeed very difficult to complete
we played it with the basic carcassonne + a lot of unofficial expansions (all from carcassonne-city)
metropole extension,
dobbelzug extension
Stadtviertel
river 1
river 2
fischerhutte
grundherr
neue wegen
goldmines

and we only finished 2 lavendar tiles
so using them as a kinda cloister tile doesn(t really work

In my opinion, the lavendar rows are almost too fluffy. Too much contrast between your lights and darks? Maybe the highlighting you've done along one side of each row doesn't need to be there? The art style in Carc is very flat and your flower bushes have a 3D feel to them.

The bee icon is great. Novelty, might you add a hint of lavendar to the trade token?

The honey farmers could easily be a version of Fruit Traders... not neccessarily a bad thing. Thinking, thinking of something to make them unique, but still a trade good.

Regardless, I like the look and plan to print some these tiles out when wellidesigns proclaims them done!
