    5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Strategy Game for 2-5 Players. 30-45 Minutes To Play, Nice Mix of Fun and Focused Strategy
    Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2016
    Style: Carcassonne: Main GameVerified Purchase
    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.

    She loved it at first play. Every game is radically different. Lots of options for expansions, but overall feel there are too many expansions. The clunkiness of most of them cheapen them game experience. We opted to buy no expansions and made a few cardboard tiles of some features we felt were missing. Made several draw again ones to hide the actual add-ins. Then used a tile stacker to store them and that solve that issue.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, fast game
    Reviewed in Canada on January 7, 2024
    Style: Carcassonne: Main GameVerified Purchase
    This was easy to learn and fun to play. The half hour game play means we often can play more than one round. If you’re looking for a complex competitive game like Settlers of Catan, this probably isn’t what you’re looking for. But it’s fantastic if you want a game that works well for all ages. We like that there are several variations included.

    My only complaint is that the rules had some minor discrepancies and were missing a few details. We had to make up some of our own rules to compensate.
