A Watford FC fan has won the world championships of a “creative map-making” board game held in Germany.
Matt Tucker, from Croxley Green, was the winner of the Carcassonne World Championships which was held in Herne, Germany at the weekend.
The 32-year-old was one of 42 players from 37 countries and it was his first time attending, with the support of his girlfriend who watched every one of his games. “It was very different to playing online but I knew deep down I would be able to win. My girlfriend, Sam attended every match I was in and was the biggest support.”The Watford FC fan made sure to use the yellow pieces as he has a season ticket for the Hornets and has always been a fan of the team that plays in yellow.
Matt took on Alexey Pegusevs who represented Latvia but lives in Cambridgeshire in the final, despite having previously been beaten by him during an earlier stage of the competition.Matt added: “Everyone was super friendly, kind and welcoming, I was impressed by the amount of effort everyone put into the weekend.”The tournament was livestreamed for others to watch as well as all other people attending being able to view his victory.
