Agree to disagree on 3P vs 4P Castles - I think the balance and tension is still pretty much perfect in 3P. But that’s obviously a subjective opinion. 
The problem with 3p is that the entire complement of pieces may not show up in the Black Market. With 4p, you can be sure they will eventually appear. I wouldn’t call it a design flaw but it is an unsolvable problem.
My son keeps asking to play Monopoly Voice Banking and I humor him even though I hate the game. I was thinking about other economic games and I remembered Stockpile and then I remembered that it is an app. I’d love to see it on a list of possible ladder games.
I loved Carnegie - don’t think there’s an app but it’s on BGA
Kudos ladder players - we have 5 of 9 tables complete in just 15 days. A decent pace in my books!
So this is about the time when I check that the remaining tables are progressing smoothly… 
PS. I’ll also remind everyone that’s waiting for the next game that practice matches can be arranged on the Decathlon Practice Arena
We are about halfway through, I believe. Everything seems to be progressing well and nobody seems to be taking too much time. It’s a leisurely pace compared to these finished tables but not once has someone been out of time.

Steady steady with @JMH.75 and @JammaTal
The thing I like about this game is that you can never really tell who is winning…

Absolutely - especially since there’s some potential for “big swings” like completing a large area, etc.
Table 9 is in round D (out of A through E)

Table 6 reporting in.
Good game both. I confess to knee-capping @HolstenKnight by taking the last building he needed to complete the 8-building town. In my defence, he was in second place at the time and the gap was closer, but still.

Great game!
I thought I was in a super strong position, but still couldn’t close. Not sure what to differently next time 
Ok that wraps up our first ladder game in less than a month - off to a good start and I trust everyone enjoyed Castles of Burgundy!

Rather than doing a participation poll every time, I’ll just give it a few days in between games and allow people to opt out.
So, please post here or send me a direct message if you DO NOT want to play Isle of Skye.
