This game is fantastic! Build your castles, extend your roads and claim farm land by placing your meeples on the board. This is a point building game. Through picking up and placing random tiles the point of this game is to build up the most points. There are a set number of points per connected road tile, per castle tile, for the number of castles that connect to your farmer meeple, and there are shieldson some castle tiles to add more points to the completed castle point count. This can either be a fun game among family/friends, or an all out war if you intrude on the points that a team member is building for themselves.
We typically try to play a nice and fair game, but sometimes one of us makes a menacing move just to mess with the other persons plans (just for giggles lol).
Since you build the game board by picking up tiles at random, this is a game that is never the same twice. And, there are so many expansions to the original game that you really can have a lot of fun with it. We have two expansions that we either work in separately or together depending on how long we want to play.Wil Wheaton featured Carcassone on his YouTube show TableTop in SE2E17. We watch a lot of TableTop both for the comedy and to discover board games.
Twitter tells me that it's #internationalcatday
, so here is one of our two cats. Sometimes when we play Carcassone this little guy gets jealous and decides to act out for attention. He knows that he is not permitted on the table, but yet here we are...Carcassone is also available for download onto smart phones from the Play Store/App Store. Which is fantastic because I get to play on the go as well.
