Nice badge another fan of Carcassonne here!
It makes me sad because I moved just before Christmas and the one thing I still can not find is Carcassonne.
It was the one board game I really wanted to play over the holiday but have no idea where its gone!
Have you by any chance given the new fallout board game a go? Its one of those games that seems really good but it will take hours to learn. I tried to have a game with my partner over Christmas but we gave up because we were spending more time checking the rules than anything.
