The start tile is considered 4 separate tiles. It's shown on the back of the tile. Also, the correct timing of a turn is: 1.Draw. 2. Place. 3. Remove ghosts if a mist zone is complete. 4. Place ghosts if not completed. 5. Score points. So you don't add ghosts to a mist which you have just completed.
We were using translated rules at the time of filming. The English rules were not easily available at that point. Thanks for the note and for watching.-Lincoln
I've been wanting to see a playthrough of this fantastic game with GameNight! Carcassonne was my intro to board gaming. So cool that it's a cooperative version, and so glad you played two levels, as it showed how different the difficulty levels can be. This looks to be a very satisfying game, and I WANTS it! Thaks for the playthrough!
I just want to say I love watching these videos cause it makes me feel like I have friends with me while I work! Hearing you all having a good time is so nice haha. Also, Deborah thank you for your portrayal of Faye, you are amazing
Lovely jubbly! As soon as I saw Deborah in the lineup, I knew that, even if the game was crud, this was gonna be a fun video. But no, not only did we get Deborah, but an excellent game too, sure you couldn't beat that. Great video guys, really enjoyed this one, here's to Ep41!
I love that part just before you started where Deborah as a newbie to the game was struggling to hold/shuffle a pile of tiles, while simultaneously we see Lincoln speedily shuffling his tiles and placing his pile with masterful ease, and then Deborah goes to place her pile on the table and drops them all! (Around 18:20) It was lovely. You can't plan that stuff. :-)
I love you showing more then just the intro level. Still hoping maybe for an extended game night of Welcome to the Moon with more then just the intro level, since the game has SO much more to offer and Stage 1 doesn't even introduce the main mechanics yet.
looks fun co op and using it as an expansion is very viable after looking up rules. I own base with rivers, traders, inns, fruit trees and today weirdly enough I brought Under the big top.
At 24:03 when you put a tile that finishes a mist territory you take away all ghosts at once without having to place that extra ghost. I am sure I read this correctly in the booklet. And this point is critical at later stages when you only have one or two ghosts left aside.
I think it is harder just to play the expansion without adding the original game tiles to it because that is a lot of mist. 🤣🤣🤣 Y'all are hard core. 😎👍👍
I still think it's a huge mistake to NOT place your meeple on the tile you placed when you have the opportunity...unless you are down to your last meeple. Why? Because having a meeple on the board let's someone who places a tile to both score your placed meeple, plus add one of their own. Example...if you put your meeple on an incomplete road...then someone places a tile that has a 3 road intersection...they can COMPLETE the road segment you had your meeple on, PLUS put their meeple on one of the other branches. When you don't do that...that person has to waste their placement claiming that section of completed road and leave the tile they placed with no ready-to-score meeple. It was driving me crazy watching you play the 2nd game, where you all had 3-5 meeples in your inventory and were choosing NOT to put them out...they can't score unless they're out. My rule of thumb is put them on the board if you can, only hesitate if you are down to your last one, save it for a place-and-score scenario (like finishing a city).
How weird, I was looking at purchasing this just a few days ago (even though this was clearly filmed on the same day as the Exit! Advent calendar , so had nothing to do with me being psychic 😂).
Thanks for the playthrough. Did you guys ever try (and complete) the final level? We played 2 player and it seems impossible. Also, don't the castles score 2 points per mist tile, rather than 1?
Would be a long video 😜 not enough videos of the aggressive one like Dragon and tower perhaps play those 2 with base set to make a huge cut throat game.
From wikicarpedia - Mists_over_Carcassonne: "Question: Can I choose to remove ghosts instead of taking the points from one color in a joint scoring? Answer: No. A joint scoring counts as 1 scoring. So choosing to remove ghosts means not getting any points."
At the 30:40 mark...Deborah cannot legally place a meeple on the road because it has mist on it. The rules clearly state that you cannot place meeples on any mist areas. Rulebook: Page 5, 2b.

Well, according to wikicarpedia - Mists_over_Carcassonne#2._Place_a_meeple: "Question: Can I place a meeple on a road covered by mist? Answer: Yes. You can place a meeple on a road, even if the road is covered by mist."
So it seems you MUST play for a huge city. So that means looking at all the tiles and making your own list of city shapes so you know what you have to do. Which makes it seem rather annoying. But without that, I can't see winning very often by luck...
Thanks for the video! I didn't even knowing this game existed and I'll have to lookout for it. I am personally not a fan of the advertisement interruptions. I pay for RU-vid premium to avoid ads. I know you have to make money but I think a popup or an in video mention would be better.
I enjoy playing Carcassonne with my kids and I think we will enjoy this co-op version as well. Great video as usual, Deborah is gorgeous and Lincoln is amusing but I think it’s a little embarrassing Nikki counts on the score board with her finger instead of doing simple elementary school arithmetic….
She's obviously doing it for the audience to get a proper visual as to what is going on (makes sence in a guide video). Pretty simple really. You could have learnt it at pre school.
You'd think that would work but in our video for Heat I added it quickly in my head and shorted Dave a point and I went well beyond High School math. We are on camera and have lots on our minds when filming so each person has to do what is best for them. Thanks for the note and for watching. -Lincoln
@@boardgamegeek No worries :) Funny you’re bringing up Heat - it’s one of my favorite games of all time! Also enjoyed that video of yours there as well, it’s actually one of the reasons I actually bought it!
