Just played this with my brother over Thanksgiving. It was very fun! So funny to see a community get created right after playing it for the first time!

Such serendipity! Glad you enjoyed it. Did you use any expansions, or just the base game? Did you include the river or abbots?

And of course, who won? :)

So we just did base game I think? But we didn't do abbots or the big meeple. We did use the river, yes. Is there an option not to? And no beginner's luck for me, my brother won, haha.

Makes sense for a first game. Abbots are optional (though I quite like them, as they allow one to score partially completed monasteries) and the large meeples are from expansion #1 (Inns and Cathedrals).

We did use the river, yes. Is there an option not to?

Yes, you can also use the starting tile, which has a dark back like the river tiles.

no beginner’s luck for me, my brother won, haha

Ah well, there's always next time! Good luck, and happy gaming!
