Excellent - thank you! This is a new addition to the compendium in version 9.0 - we checked our version 8.0 copy.

comment How is Settlers of Catan different when playing with the 5-6 player expansion?
@Andrew However in a 5-6 player game then you can build when it's not your turn (in fact on every other player's turn). In the 3-4 player game it is reasonable to pick central hexes that cover all the resources, OR focus on one type of good and get the port for it. IMO, in the 5-6 player game the latter tactic is always trumped by the first.

The ports are much less valuable as you can't use them during the building phases (between each players turns). Consequently if you're saving up three-of-a-kinds to trade on your turn then you're much more likely to be hit by the robber.

comment Largest Army in Settlers of Catan: Cities and Knights
Hmm! The depressing thing is that we played the game correctly then - it took a g e s :-) We'll have to play with the suggestions from here next time: boardgames.stackexchange.com/questions/2565/…

We've ended up getting some storage units that look quite like these. Thanks for the suggestion.

comment Is it possible to play two cards in the same field on the first step of a turn in Bohnanza ?
I think you're right that there's no possible advantage. However there may be a case where you've already seen all the other 5 garden beans (for example), and so there would be no difference between overplanting from your hand, or overplanting from somewhere else.

comment Interaction between Carcassonne: Bridges, Castles, and Bazaars and other expansions
Thanks - this is the only answer to give a published set of rules (other than the rules that come in the expansion). I'm actually quite surprised that the makers have written comprehensive rules - most of their efforts have been half-hearted at best ;-)

I think you only found one organisation because the rest of the world calls the game something else ;-) Here's a list of others: fmjd.org/?p=all
