This week we tried a fuller game of Carnevale, 75 ducats a side. We also expanded to a 3ft x 3ft table. Mainly because we wanted to use all of our buildings, however we didn't have enough plaza for the table so I proxied in some dungeon floor tiles to help cover the table. The game was just a straight up fight for 5 turns between my Guild and the Vatican commanded by Mitch. Just a few photos from the game as it was mainly just another practice game.

It was a fun game and definitely looked better with more buildings. I have another 3 to build so has Mitch as well as a Boathouse. We will need a bit more street clutter to fill out the streets. We also need more areas of plaza. I've picked up some sheets of high density foam and ordered a cobblestone roller to try and have a go at making my own. Bet we will be trying a 4 player game to see how the rules handle multiple players.
