For completeness sake even though you may only see a bit of sky

[Mima]

Thank you - I will get to work on these now.

Edit: New map & spare pieces here

On the spare pieces page, #238 and #208 link up (left/right respectively)

Well, rather than do what Mima has done and create an informative and useful map, I decided to just make up a grid and try to jam as many of the pieces we have into it as a kind of a jigsaw, without attempting to align them properly or anything like that.

In doing so, I noted a pattern emerging which should help anyone trying to connect the map pieces. The pieces seem to connect numerically in sets of four, and then going down columns in each colour from right to left. I have attached an image with a table of what I believe will be the final configuration of the map by card number, and also an image showing how the map pieces fit that configuration.

Notes -

I have not included Red or Orange cards in this because we are yet to see any with map pieces on the back. It is possible that these pieces all have instruction cards on the back, though if this is the case we will be missing a part of the Mobius Strip from the assembled map.

There is also at least one card that does not fit numerically (#74), but because this was part of the 333 set it may have been released with a different map piece on the back, since by my reasoning card #74 would be completely water.

Edit - replaced spreadsheet with image

[Mima]

What a brilliant find, I had started to notice a pattern, but had not got close to having worked it out - could I suggest that we carry on with yours as it is far better than mine - for a start it has all the pieces! Could you put a copy in the quick reference section. Thanks

The software that I am using will only go so big, and I was starting to delete all the information in order to get the map bits on anyway. I think all the information is available in the wiki, so it would just be a duplication of work.

I'm going to gracefully retire from the map-making business! While I have been doing this I havn't been able to have a go a the cards, and I'm looking forward to that, but thanks for the vote of support.

Here's a camera pic of the back of 217. I'll re-post when I get my scanner working.

The text pertains to the Radian Library:

"The principal library in the Old Town (with the exception of the Academy Library), the Radian Library has over six floors of shelves and reading rooms. The library is open to the public seven days a week and specialises in fiction and historical records."

[edit] removed image, to avoid confusion. New image is in next post.

Here's the actual scan of the map piece of 217.

Finally got my scanner cooperating.
