Carcassonne - Base Game

We love this game. Easy to learn how to play. Games can be pretty quick especially if there’s several people playing, but we enjoy it most with 2 players. Has different game plays and expansions that keep the game interesting. No two games are the same.

Super fun game! This quickly became a family favorite. The kit allows you to play a simplified version at first. After you learn there are several expansions that are included and it makes the game fresh and excited every time you play. This is a great 2 player or family game! The pieces are good quality; cleanly cut chards and tiles, wooden tokens and a very descriptive instruction manual.

This game is well made and great fun. The rules are clear and I like that they start off with a simple set of tiles and rules, then allow you to add more tiles and rules with the included mini-expansions. I would go so far as to say that for me personally, this is my favorite board game. I prefer it to Settlers, Scrabble, Monopoly, Risk etc. The game play is simple to teach but strategic so you can continue to replay it and enjoy the game. This Game Includes Tiles, a Scoreboard and Playing Pieces ("Meeples"). It includes a couple mini-expansions of "The River" and "The Abbot" I highly recommend using The River from the second or third time you play. It adds some nice tiles to begin with, and by building out in a more or less straight line allows you to build a much more open board for players to build off of once the "real" game starts. The only reason I suggest using the regular tiles first is just to get a feel of how different and more open it is with The River We play with The Abbot as well and that adds another level of strategy. I find that playing two players is a bit of an intense game because every turn you know that whatever you play you are setting the table for the next player. It is fun and about half the games I played have been 2 player games. The scoreboard and "looping" around the board can be a bit of a problem with 2 players but not a big deal. We are going to try the house rule of holding 3 tiles and see if that adds to the strategy, but it is a lot of fun with the rules as-is. I have since purchased Carcassonne 1 - Inns and Cathedrals and Carcassonne 2 - Traders and Builders (2015) , but I've only used I&C once. Honestly the base game + The River + Abbot is great fun by itself and I'm not sure for most people I would recommend anything past that unless you have a regular group of gamers you play with. Base Game + River (and not playing with farmers) is easy enough to teach people as they are playing the game and since each tile is flipped one at a time and there is nothing "hidden" in your hand it's easy to play and walk through the turns together.

We absolutely love this game. It’s easy to learn but has enough strategy to keep it interesting every time you play. The tiles and pieces are high quality, and it’s the perfect length for a quick game night. Highly recommend for both families and seasoned gamers!

Great game to introduce those 6 and older to German Family Board Games of the Year. We do not play the "big man in the field rule" when teaching newcomers or young ones. That rule is too confusing for them. But the neat thing about the game is: It's tons better than American games. Has logic, a little luck in it, and is interesting, and allows for different moves so it doesn't get boring. Recently taught it to my 6 yr old grandson, but i enjoyed it also. For adults, play the big man in the field, which is basically "luck." Adding the Inns and Cathedrals expansion set, adds a few more variations and is not complicated. Highly suggest adding it when purchasing this game. You can start playing right away by laying tiles instead of trying to digest a whole group of rules.

Fun easy to learn game. Not stressful and not boring either. It is a relaxing game of luck and strategy . We play on family night as well as just the two of us.

This is a great game that I have played a good bit with my 8 year old, who loves it and is competitive. But it's fun for adults too. A simple to learn family game. I got it on sale and it was a great deal at the time. Unfortunately, the package arrived with missing pieces (the 5 abbots were absent). This does not ruin the game entirely, but it limits the number of expansion versions you can play, so I'm a bit disappointed. I emailed the manufacturer, who told me I had to deal with Amazon for missing pieces. Amazon would refund me, but then I couldn't re-buy it at the price I originally paid. We're going to be fashioning our own abbots out of buttons or something.

Love this game and all the expansions. Classic, challenging, beautiful table scape. Great for all ages to learn. We played a Medieval music playlist while playing which added to the experience. The design is great, the box is well made. A great gift for a friend or yourself.

Having got back into board games this year, years after last being into them when our son was young, we've been buying some of the classics that have come about since then. This one is popular and routinely highly recommended. It's a game based around laying tiles to build a continuous connecting landscape and playing your "meeple" playing pieces to claim terrain features and score points. This comes in a nicely designed box with very solid components, made of of cardboard tiles and wooden "meeple" and feels like real quality. It feels like very good value for money. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, with good examples to get you started. We found ourselves getting out heads around it very quickly. It's a very enjoyable game, engaging yet very relaxing. The design is clever, simple yet with a decent amount of complexity within. This has become one of our most popular games, played between myself and my wife and with friends. We love it, this is one I'd recommend to anybody looking to collect modern classic board games.

Carcasonne is a fun game the whole family will enjoy, a good purchase.

Un clásico que sigue siendo grande, recomendado, fácil de aprender y con mucha rejugabilidad, si lo estás pensando, no lo dudes, recomendado!

Great quality! The game is fun and easy to play for even just two players. It also has several built in variations that keep it interesting across multiple plays? A definite must for family game night.
