Without knowing his problem: is he making sure that "fit to page" is off? I have no idea. I hope so. That could be the source of his problems, or it could be his printer, or it could be because the tiles *are* too small. I should really get that second of Towers soon to make tiles and black tower pieces! |

Well, as I said he must resize to 100% and not set the fit to page option.
Novelty, I'll email you as soon as possible. I had a bug on my system and I had to reinstall Windows and almost all software. As soon as I fix things up, I'll do that. Sorry.

Can you do me a favour and print out the new Avignon tiles (see the Avignon thread) and tell me if those are too big please? Thanks.

No hurry on this. I was just curious. I know you are probably busy playing with the new toys that you got during the holidays  |

Well, yes and no. I've been playing lots of boardgames but unfortunately my wife's grandma had a stroke and we've been giving her a hand. So I've not been that much at home.

Yesterday I played again with base carc, fishermen, rivers, mathguy* , winter2008 and GQ11 with the usual suspects.
Some of them concluded that fishermen and forests makes Carc more difficult to master because there are more base elements so features are nore difficult to finish. Nevertheless everyone intends to play a Mega-Carc game if you manage to have one full day free. We played with lots of roundabouts and conclued that they are a bit hard to manage when they're a lot.
It was a bit disappointing but I LOVE THIS GAME!...

That's why the Forest was designed with a 150 tile base. It needs at least 100 tiles to make it "easy" to complete a forest.
The Fishermen base only has 60 tiles, but added together with the 24 from the 2 river expansions and the odd ones here and there, it might come up to about 100, which I thought would make it sufficient to complete rivers.
Whispering Woods is really a must if playing with both Forests and Rivers, all 60 tiles in that fan-made expansion.

Novelty, those expansions are my favourites. The problem is that some of the folks I play with seem to be basic creatures and feel better with basic game play. I almost consider fisherman and forests to be part of the basic set! I like to have lots of little rivers on the board and forests are neat too. I'm sorry the other guys don't like to come out of the basic "shell". As you know I'm gonna try to have and play (almost) all expansions I can get my hand on. And the ones you made are awesome. I think I gave you a merit point for that! The Forum Variant Section is one of my favourite! Keep up your good work!

Heh, lots of people have contributed to the variants section. It's not just myself alone.
koolkat, if those playing the game with you don't like forests and fishermen, then I think it is better not to force them to play it. Maybe they need to get "comfortable" with the basic game first and then after that they might consider playing with forests and fishermen. It is easier to learn and develop strategies with fewer things first and then slowly to add on other elements.

Yes Novelty, That's what I intend to do. My thanking is to all that contributed to the expansions development, including myself. |

I'm just curious, how many Forest tiles did you make? Did you make all the 150 tiles from forests? Besides Whispering Woods, did you make any others from the Forest series (e.g. Evergreen Forest, etc.)?

Up to now I made 83 tiles from the forests and 10 from whispering woods. Next week I intend to make some more of these and other expansions. And I expect to get my second tile package frrom HiG.

That's about 100 tiles. You should be able to complete most forests with that. How many Fishermen tiles?
