Carcassonne and Catan Game Night?

[Del Far]

I'm a big fan of Carcassonne and Settlers of Catan and I know it has been mentioned a couple of times on the CAGcast and CAG foreplay and I was thinking that these games would be bunch of great games to play together, since we can go 4 player and more for Catan. We can all add each other on live and then we can just select, play friends only etc. My Xbox Live Name is "TheRealDelFar" if you want to add me.

So is anyone interested in making a Special Night where we all try to play these games? I'm open to the day and time, I hope more people are into this.

___________________________
Edit (2/20/08): this Wednesday (the 20th) at like 11pm-1am EST we shall be playing a little of either game, so friend me and other people and we'll start sending out invites.

[Simon D I]

I'm definitely in, man! I love Carcassone! However, I can't get into Catan, I don't know why... :(

Who else wants in on this?

[BackInBlack]

Sign me up for a Carcassone night.

[Immortal fWd]

I'm up for either, but I prefer Catan.

[Strell]

I play Catan pretty frequently. I have purchased Carcassonne, but I haven't learned much about it. This, however, wouldn't stop me from playing it with others given my limited experience.

So yeah, if people want to play Catan and you aren't a dick, let me know.

[doc_zaius]

sign me up. I play both! I'm always looking for people to play with.

[Kevlar281]

I play Carcassonne a lot. I found the only thing more satisfying then stealing someone’s castle is trapping their followers. Muahahahaha :lol:

[V Illuminati V]

I play Carcassonne but now that there's barely anyone playing it I've stopped a little, add me if you want to play though.

[lordwow]

I would love to do a Carcassonne Tourney sometime. But ya count me in for either.

[io]

I'll play Carcassonne - I haven't played it in a while but I could get back into it. I might as well get some use out of it since I actually paid for it (just before they gave it away :bomb:).

[m3talst0rm]

I only have Carcassonne and I haven't played it in awhile. But, I'm up for almost any game online. Count me in.

[fart_bubble]

I'm down with a Catan night

[CheapyD]

I'm in for Carcassone.

[marten]

I'd play either.

Fart, you ever figure out those network problems that were plaguing you the first night we tried to Catan?

[prmononoke]

I'm definitely up for Catan, so you can certainly count me in.

I got Carcassonne when it was free, but I haven't tried it yet. I should soon.

[ZerotypeX]

Sign me up for a Carcassone night.

ditto

[fart_bubble]

I'd play either.

Fart, you ever figure out those network problems that were plaguing you the first night we tried to Catan?

yep, I'm all good now. Don't know what happened but I unplugged the router and let it sit for a day and now its all peachy. Its as if the snow storm we got hit with fucked with my router.

Really sorry about that night and I still want to play some online Catan sometime.

And I guess I would be down with some Carcassonne (just need to buy it first) though I've never played it before

[Del Far]

I'm totally psyched to hear that everyone is up for it, we have to decide what night we want to play, I'm open for any night, Saturday night would be fine for be because I'm a college student who doesn't drink so that night is incredibly free, but I'm cool for putting away some time for another night. I'm not sure how we can do this, should we just say what night sounds good for all of us?

Mon Tue Wed Thur Fri Sat are all fine for me (sunday is saved for hw for the last possible minute)

[Del Far]

Oh yeah, I'm going to friend all of you also, so we should probably all do that, I really dont know how the COD4 thurs night group organizes this.

[fart_bubble]

the only days I wouldn't be able to do it is Friday, Saturday and Sunday

[moojuice]

I'd be up for Carcassone. But I really need to get some experience playing it first. Twen, Thor, and Cheapy can all vouch for how shitty I am at that game >_<

[V Illuminati V]

Should we all add each other or what?

[Azumangaman]

I'm also in for this.
Carcassonne or Catan are good for me.

[FriskyTanuki]

I'm up for Catan. I'm interested in picking up Carcassone at some point in the near future.

[ravenbear]

Carcassone, sounds good to me.

[thorbahn3]

In for Carcassone.

[urzishra14]

the only days I wouldn't be able to do it is Friday, Saturday and Sunday

same here..

i'm up for Catan though..

[prmononoke]

I can probably play almost every night except Fridays.

Maybe late Fridays, actually.

Sunday afternoons are good, as is pretty much all of Saturday. Honestly, with my online classes, I'm free to play whenever. Well, a week from tomorrow I'm going back to work, so I can't play from about 3-9 on Mon-Thurs, but every other time is pretty much free.

[Spybreak8]

I'm down for both. Fav Carcassone more though.

[doc_zaius]

anyone want to play either tonight around 10 pm PST?

[Del Far]

I'd be up for that, if 10pm means in 30 minutes (still suck at telling time zones apart, which one is new york?), because I would totally love to procrastinate a little more.

[Strell]

I might be on. Feel free to post in here or send me a friend invite.

Though usually if I get on, there's a particular player-bastard I'll be going up against. But we'd welcome new challengers.

[SilverPaw750]

I love Carcassonne...sign me up!

Couldn't ever get into Catan, though.

[doc_zaius]

I'd be up for that, if 10pm means in 30 minutes (still suck at telling time zones apart, which one is new york?), because I would totally love to procrastinate a little more.
no, it's 3 hours and 30 minutes from the time I post this.

[Del Far]

no, it's 3 hours and 30 minutes from the time I post this.

Duly noted good Doctor.

[BackInBlack]

I will be on at 1 probably playing COD4. I want to play some Carcassone!

[doc_zaius]

Sorry I missed you BackinBlack. It was a CLOSE game! pretty crazy, actually.

[doc_zaius]

I sent out some friend requests.

[ThatDamnDave]

My advice: Pick a day and see who shows up. I love both games and would be down if I'm around to play.

[BackInBlack]

Sorry I missed you BackinBlack. It was a CLOSE game! pretty crazy, actually.

No prob, i totally had just missed u guys,twas my bad. Hope to play sometime soon.

[Cantaloup]

I'm in for some Carcassonne.

[Cleaner7]

I have both games and am willing to play them with whoever.

Although I'd prefer to play some Ranked matches on Catan since no one ever plays that and I'd like to work towards that last achievement if possible.

Either way, send me a friend request w/ CAG in the message and I'll accept!

[Advocatus]

I'm in for Catan.

yeah, I was thinking with catan we could try and meet up in the ranked matches somehow. pick a time or something, I'm working my way up those achievements as well.

[Advocatus]

It's often difficult to time correctly, but what my brother and I do, is attempt to join a ranked game at the same time. We do this timing using the private chat function. It has worked in the past, though it is often difficult. Once we're in the same game, we then close the private chat and join the game chat.

We can try that.

[Del Far]

Sorry I missed you BackinBlack. It was a CLOSE game! pretty crazy, actually.

Totally agreed Zaius, I was lucky that I happened to get a piece that helped me complete another sanctuary in time, but man 78 77 77, that was fucking close, and awesome, well played sir, well played.

[Ikohn4ever]

I'm in for some Carcassonne too

[Del Far]

My advice: Pick a day and see who shows up. I love both games and would be down if I'm around to play.

How about this Wednesday (the 20th) at like 11pm-1am EST I'm up for playing any game of Carcassone, lets try and see if we can possibly get a whole room of just CAGs in a game together, I think thats possible to do, Right? Lets do this! :applause:

I'll try to be there. I need to clear out some friends list people as I'm at 100 though.

You may want to update the title with that info Del Far.

[Spybreak8]

Yea I'll be on tomorrow night or shall I say today.^^

[doc_zaius]

you know what the weird part is? the only other time I've played online...

I lost 77, 78, 78

[doc_zaius]

I'll try to get home in time for tonight.

[DJSteel]

I'm always up for gaming.. if any of you want to game just send a friends request...

[Del Far]

I'll try to be there. I need to clear out some friends list people as I'm at 100 though.

I can't update the Title but I updated the first post with info.

[DJSteel]

Accepted friends request... anyone else..feel free..

[Del Far]

bump, so people find out about tonight

[io]

I'll try to be there but it is going to be at the tail end or even after the 1am Eastern time "ending". I really can't play games like this until 10-11 (Pacific) at the earliest.

[lordwow]

I have to back out for tonight. I'll be on tomorrow->Sunday nights (and Saturday day, and probably Sunday day at some points). I think my friends list is full, but send me a message if you want to play.

[SilverPaw750]

Ass, I didn't check the thread in time to see people were playing tonight. Oh well.
I'm totally up for some 10PM-Midnight weeknight action in the future, though!
And feel free to friend me so we can Carcassonne.

So do you guys play with the Rivers expansion?
I don't like it, but I'll play with it if necessary.

[doc_zaius]

I play with rivers sometimes. I bought the king and baron expansion as well, it changes the game quite a bit.

[Spybreak8]

Del Far had a game and we played with the AI but a bit through it frooze so I restarted the system and found Del Far was offline? What happened? I played some games online though and on one of them had the closest win I've ever have by 2 points. I had just placed a piece to finish a HUGE castle and my opponent just got a road piece and placed a follower to farm thereafter. Luckily I snagged the back country and got some farming points to win by 2 points!
I have the river(I) and king and baron exp as well.

[FriskyTanuki]

Is the demo for Carcassone a good representation of the game? Is it pretty much just players laying down tiles to create towns, roads, and whatever until there are no more tiles?

[doc_zaius]

actually I think farms are a much more complex part of the game.

[lordwow]

Carcassonne is easily worth 800 bucks. Its one of those games you go "oh this is easy" until you play against people who can actually play. It's one of the most complex 10 minute board games ever.

[Spybreak8]

The best thing is when you play verses people the defensive, oh man you screwed me, plays are done.^^

[DJSteel]

I should be on most of the evening

[shlammy]

add me... I'm on Catan and Carcasonne frequently (but mostly Catan)

Lol I think you mean 800 microsoft points :D Not 800 bucks

[Advocatus]

Did they increase the cost of Mayfair art DLC from 100 to 150 points, or was it always 150 points?

[doc_zaius]

I think it was always that way. I bought it but truthfully, the default is the best scheme. the mayfair style is harder to distinguish. I play with it once in a blue moon just to justify spending money on it.

[Othergods]

I am down for both of these games, if you catch me online or if there becomes a set weekly night.

Gamer Tag is Hizuru

[Shoagie]

I would be up for carcassonne

[Spybreak8]

I was playing Carcassonne the other night and the darnest thing happened. My opponent placed a corner road facing east, then another one facing north, then another one facing west, and finishing the road!? with another corner piece facing south. The road looks like a hook with no end pieces to finish the road however his road did. Is this a glitch?!@@

[Del Far]

Del Far had a game and we played with the AI but a bit through it froze so I restarted the system and found Del Far was offline? What happened?

Yeah, I'm sorry Spy, I kind of was frustrated and just sort of gave up afterwards
it was 1am in my timezone so i just sort of went to sleep.

Also, last night we managed to have a 3 MAN GAME of Catan going between me Strell and Marten, it was awesome, I somehow won, it was a random draw of a development card. Maybe we can get another game going tonight at some time

[Strell]

Yeah. Damn marten took away my longest road to "lengthen the game," and DJ Delfar managed to get a victory point.

Marten paid dearly for that in a few games of Carcassonne later on in the night.
