Title: Sporcle Quiz
Post by: Whaleyland on November 02, 2009, 01:16:00 AM
Not that anyone here will bomb it or anything, but I just made a new quiz on Sporcle about the Carcassonne expansions (http://www.sporcle.com/games/Whaleyland/carcassonne_expansions). Let's see how many official expansions you can name...hehehe

You were better than me m-e.  I got all 18 with less than a minute to go.  I forgot king & scout until like the last minute.  Doh!

Wrong! I did.

Ran out of time with 5 remaining to find:


2006 Games Quarterly ------ I was typing 'mini expansion'

2008 Cult, Siege & Creativity ----- missed this as I had already found 'The Cult'

2008 Count, King & Cult ----- Missed this as I had already found 'The Count'

2009 The Wheel of Fortune ----- Was typing 'Wheel of Fate'

Not to mention that this is not an expansion but a compilation!

I was also typing "Wheel of fate" by the way ;)

I wanted Count, King and Cult to be a bonus answer, but that's not an option. It was the original source for The Cult and in Germany it is considered an expansion in itself. But yes, I did make it a bit more difficult. Oh Joff, mini expansion is an option for that, so I'm not sure what went wrong. Sorry!

Do you think you can make one with all the other spin-offs and compilations?  That would be fun!

No problem. I can spit out most of these things in 10 minutes or less. Heck, it takes me longer to take the tests than play them! Here's a link (http://www.sporcle.com/games/Whaleyland/carcassonne_games) to what you requested. I decided not to put compilations in the mix, since they are not stand-alones like the spin-offs. If they ever add the option to do have bonus/extra answers, i will certainly put compilations there (and move some from my primary quiz). Enjoy!

Guess I got confused. What were you looking for?


Title: Re: Sporcle Quiz

I was looking for a page with multiple categories - one for the main Carc and its expansions, one for spin-offs and one for compilations.

BTW, you missed the Scout (K&S) expansion on the spin-offs page.

Ah, so everything in one big quiz. Unfortunately, I don't think I can do that yet on Sporcle. Those kinds of quizzes are still restricted to the people in charge of the site. They only let us plebeians do simple, three-column quizzes. i don't think we can even do separate sections, but I will see how flexible it is. If I find a way, I will do it.

Oh, and I'll add the Scout expansion at once.

Got 13/18 on the first one without cheating, and 15/18 after I looked at my shelf, and finally got the rest with 1:39 to spare after I discovered that the compilations were being counted too.

Got 9/11 on the second quiz; missed Travel Carcassonne and King & Scout which IMHO is not really a spin-off so I should have got 9/10.
