Re: Colorblind mode

And not only for colorblind people. It recently happened in the prequalification of the Carcassonne Champions League.
Red didn't notice 2 (!) green meeples in the field... Green should just be banned from the game.

Re: How did you learn to play well?

Re: Does anyone actually play this game for fun?

I'm glad you ask this question. Yes, I play it for fun, in fact, I love playing Carcassone. And, yes, I do like to win. And, yes, it happens very often to lose, too.

I already had some ideas for a beginners' guide with lots of useful examples. Maybe I should go and stream again (Twitch stream + Youtube videos) one day. I didn't...

Re: Does anyone actually play this game for fun?

All jokes aside, competitive Patchwork is a lot more competitive and requires a lot more calculation than one might think. But 'blocking' in patchwork is way less obvious than it is in Carcassonne. Therefor, when you lose from a strong player in Patchwork, ppl consider it "bad luck" instea...
