I think you missed that you could have put a meeple on the two-square forest for points? Or am I misremembering your points total?

Spiecherstadt seems to go wrong in a lot of ways. I misclicked one round and failed to buy a ship I wanted. I think I also misclicked during the manage-your-goods phase and failed to sell some yellow cubes a round or two ago. I like Spiecherstadt as a game concept, but don't think I like the online-PBEM style for it. Especially the purchase phase, if you are low on money so the game skips over all your meeples. Speeds things up since there's nothing you can do anyway, but afterwards you have no idea what happened and who bought what for how much. In round 9 on the counting house, I did that to Kylearan, stacked up two meeples to raise the price beyond what he could afford, then got the turn to buy it immediately, before Kylearan saw anything that happened at all. And of course only the current player sees a fire.

But it would have been 3 river tiles and 7 fish in the whole river system for 10 points - but maybe I'm misremembering the rules.
Anyway, doesn't really matter.

Did you? Heh, I didn't even notice that, at all. ![[Image: crazyeyes.gif]](http://www.compoundeye.net/civ/crazyeyes.gif) I don't memorize the meeple placement between my turns, so I had no idea.
Yeah, the game could very well do with a log feature, which wouldn't be hard to implement.

I did remember to get the 4 points for the forest. The game-changer in our game is the 32 (!) point meadow that you and Mist have. Wish I'd have noticed that earlier

Yeah. A river meeple only reaches to the first nearest lake in each direction, so that would have been 2 tiles and 6 fish. Huts control the entire river system reaching past lakes, but only score at the end of the game. (You might be right for original Carcassone with the river expansion and H&G behaves differently.)
Spiecherstadt - I know the "reset move" button, but that doesn't help if I've clicked "finish move" before noticing that something is wrong.
The 32 point meadow just became that big on my most recent turn -- it was about 22 points (which is still big) and then I joined it to several more animals.

Haha, that's funny - Yucata.de displays the colors for the players differently for each player. My meeples are black for me in Die Speicherstadt, but when I logged in as Amelia after playing Carcasonne to take a look at the current situation in Die Speicherstadt, the game showed Kylearan's meeples as blue.

Ha, and it shows your meeples as purple to me in Spiecherstadt. :crazyeye: indeed.

Carcassonne has ended. T-hawk won, followed by sooooo and Mist with aMElia finishing last.

Made too many mistakes this game lol, what with starting all the forest gold tiles (and not finishing a single one!). Thanks for taking over for me =)
