Whilst Eleanor slept we snuck in a quick game of.....Carcassonne - The Castle! Using the approach favoured by Lisa the previous evening (and being hugely lucky with tile draws!) Paul won. 118 to Lisa's 79. For the majority of the game it appeared that our keeps would remain tiny (3 tiles each) and so no one would score the points for the remaining space. Therefore neither of us bothered trying to shrink the remaining largest area. With my penultimate tile I managed to finish a seven tile house and get the extra 11 points...I was also fortunate with markets and scoring double for a large tower thanks to a token collected from the score track.
