    This expansion/spinoff is one of the few things I did not buy yet, what do you think about it currently? Worth it or leave it?

    That's hard. Mists is supposed to be the cooperative version of Carcassonne, but I've only ever played it as an expansion, so I can't speak to how worth it it may or may not be (so far, anyway). As an expansion, it's enormous. I can only say I like it. The graveyards is what pushes it so high for me. Getting another Meeple during gameplay is something I enjoy so much. The mists are pretty good. They usually break up fields a bunch, so if you're all about getting that big field, it takes work to even get a big one. The castles are meh. Get points for how much mist is surrounding it. And I don't have a big reaction to ghosts.

    @@RichardLearnsGames so of course I had to buy this one…just got it in same day and have the rules here with me (German version) I remember one situation where you were uncertain if you should put a ghost on yourself or the opponent first when you expand+limit at the same time. The answer here is put a ghost on an opponent first. Hope it helps in a potential future match ;)

    The 6th major expansion is a literal collection of what used to be mini-expansions. If Hans Im Glück were making a 12th major expansion, and told me they wanted it to be another collection of current mini expansions, the drawbridges and phantom would top my list of what to include.

    14:19 is it really allowed to place a meeple + take the abbot out in the same turn? Thought that’s only possible when using the phantom as a meeple placement.

    Oops. No, you either place a Meeple or you can take off the Abbot. That was just a normal playing as 2 players while filming and talking out loud mistake.

  • @RichardLearnsGames
    @RichardLearnsGames4 күн бұрын

    Behind the scenes, that's what my first Carcassonne attempt was supposed to be, one continuous playthrough adding in expansions as I went (as opposed to starting off with all of them and drawing randomly). It didn't go smoothly at all, so I scrapped it, and changed to focusing on one at a time. I haven't yet felt motivated to do more than one expansion at a time.

    @@RichardLearnsGamesI’ve enjoyed the tutorial videos so far to help me learn the various expansions. The matches I’ve had start with the river tiles and then draw from a custom box in which they’re all shuffled in together. I don’t like the Count or Catapult so they’re excluded but everything else is in. It seems to work but it’s a lot to remember and you need to agree a time limit to play, or it turns into an 8 hour game.

    Interesting opinion on the tower expansion, it sucks to have dead zones on the board... So if you play that expansion with the Princess and the dragon, the dead zones might not be a problem, right? Because you have the portals to go anywhere....

  • @RichardLearnsGames
    @RichardLearnsGames4 күн бұрын

    You can close a tower by placing your own Meeple on it, removing the ability of that tower to be used to capture. But the Meeple on the tower can still be captured. Using the portal to get in there isn't a bad idea though, especially if you're just finishing up something and there isn't another tower nearby that's going to capture you.

  • @mrhypenight

    This is an interesting idea of an expansion tho it always saddens me to see expansions being the starting tiles because that means that the other starting tile replacing expansions can’t be played combined with it. Seems like a pretty great deal for a mini expansion tho (adding some refreshing gameplay to it while keeping it simple) Btw still going trough your whole Carcassonne playlist and throughout this week I bought myself major expansions 3, 5, phantom, big box v3.0 and the 20 year anniversary edition which I’m loving a lot (the design is gorgeous) I’m blaming you for all those purchases lol PS: greetings from Germany, as a German, I am very much not offended by your mispronunciation of Leipzig 😂 keep it up!

I found this video and immediately got a good start for which expansion to look into. Very informative video, you’re a really talented person when it comes to explaining and sharing thoughts. I have not been new to Carcassonne but only knew about the first edition and its first 2 expansions before. You opened up my eyes for a whole new world of this beautiful game. I’ve been going through all your content regarding this game, your tutorials are just absolutely amazing. I also liked the 1 hour gameplay sessions after the informative tutorials. I liked it so much even, that I watched the videos of expansions I already knew everything about too. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your hard work and passion for this game.

    We have a Carcassonne Big Box that has gotten so much use and great replay ability. Probably our most played game. I understand there are differed Big Box combos. The one we have includes the Wheel of Fortune expansion. It’s fun with a high player count and the Big Box version we have includes extra Meeples sets for more players! Separately, we’ve gotten a few other expansion sets too, like The Big Top. I thought I was done with expansion sets but will strongly consider Mists over Carcassonne.

    The rules on the Lost and Found tokens are really unclear. They say draw them AFTER the navigation encounters, not before, and they say in a different section of the rules (that may be a mistake) that you don't draw a tile if you lose anything to a navigation card encounter. This is odd as you almost always lose something every time. Then we have the Ravensburger how to play video, where they play like you and draw the rile before the navigation cards. I think I will ask Prospero Hall to clarify.

    I have most of the expansions and would say the most enjoyable process when we used to play it was creating and fighting in huge city and the major funny threat to winning player - if you allow it - to burn barn with the dragon :)) Therefore best expansions for me are the ones which are involved in this: 5. *Count, King* & Robber - count's castle is my fav starting way 4. Inns & *Cathedrals* - don't have that one, mechanics looked too simple but I can see how badly inns are needed 3. Princess & *Dragon* - dragon gives the extra drama and joy of destruction 2. *Traders* & *Builders* - cities are happier with it, grow quickly and are colorful and piggy is actually great if you bring it to the barn over and over again, new way of gathering points with bad cards 1. *Abbey* & *Mayor* & *Barn* - was my first expansion, changes game's character the most, especially makes running out of meeples less of a problem

    I'm really enjoying your play throughs. Although I don't own this game (yet) I do play a fair bit of two-handed Legendary Buffy. In the Buffy iteration, the player steps are: play a card from the Villain Deck; play cards from your hand; finally, discard your hand and draw 6 more cards. It's drawing those 6 cards that reminds me to deal a new Villain card. To remind myself which hand I'm playing (greatly diminished memory due to advancing years) I put a token on top of the deck that will be playing next, as soon as that happens I transfer the token to the deck just played.

  • @RichardLearnsGames
    @RichardLearnsGames2 ай бұрын

    Thank you for watching! What ultimately ends up happening with these play throughs was someone mentioned I should already have both hands dealt out. I learned real quick that one hand is in my hand, and the other is face down, making it automatic as to who is playing. Buffy is my biggest fandom (in my real life it just seems like it's the MCU just because they're still coming out with new stuff), so I am automatically interested in playing it. But limited time and money means I focus on Marvel for Legendary. Have fun!
