Here's an idea to add a slight new twist to the Tower expansion:

At the end of the game, whichever player has their meeple capping the tallest tower gets one point for every tower block on the board. If there is a tie, the player who capped the tower first gets the points (similar with King and Scout).

I played with this rule the other day and I must say that I enjoyed it. It prevented towers from getting too high.
Let me know what you guys think.

PS: I play that once a meeple caps a tower it cannot be removed from the board whatsoever. I think the rules have since changed since I got my Tower expansion.

And perhaps some sort of better name... like TOWER GOD, except more French and Medieval.

How about: captain of the guards, or something like that...

I like this idea, but still haven't played the Tower expansion yet so don't feel very qualified to say so.

The image could be stolen appropriated from the tower box cover, and could include the guard with the spear, although maybe on a different background...

I'd be happy to give the artwork a go later this week, if you want...

(Maybe this should be moved to expansion workshop)

I'll try to get to it today or tomorrow- tomorrow's the weekend and today I'm home sick, so I have plenty of time...

EDIT:
Here is Sentry v1.

Any questions, comments? I'll try to clean up the image a bit more...

Well, if you like it, you can use it... I think I'll have to fix up the spear....

I just had time to fix up the top of the tower on the left side, and make the spear a bit more substantial...

Here's a slight change... what do you think about Centinel for the name?
