The skill of the players to develop the area will determine who is victorious. Contents:

Ryan Strong
| One of the best games ever made. The mechanics are perfect, and it's so easy to teach, it's unbelievable. It may take players one whole game to understand certain aspects of the rules--such as farming--but games can be played in under an hour, so this isn't really a big deal.
Generally regarded as a 'gateway' game, and for obvious reasons. In my group, it's the go-to filler game, either in-between games, or at the end of the night. |
octavio morales
| Nice tile laying game, one of the first indeed. The game is not heavy so everyone in your family can play. The rules are fast to learn too. |

| Welcome to the world of real games. Carcassone is the ultimate representation of the high quality German games that knock the socks off of all those Walmart games. Fun for the whole family and equally rewarding for 2 players up to 6 players. It is best with the first two expansions- Inns and Cathedrals and Traders and Builders. Some of the other expansions are fun- others not so much so. The big box is the best value if you want the two original expansions. |
Mr Waiguoren
| The first designer game that I ever bought. This is considered a classic "gateway" game for a reason. It is easy for any one in the family to pick up and start playing right away. While I haven't got into any of the countless expansions for this game, I still enjoy playing the base game as each time is very different than the last. |
Bryan O'Connell
| Carcassonne is rated highly on boardgamegeek.com and has a massive following. At its core it's a tile laying and area control type of game. There's a lot of strategy to be found in this game, and you're sure to rile up at least one other person by blocking them! For a game with this much strategy it's hard to believe you can play it in under an hour. Enjoy! |

| Very Simple to pick up. All you need to do is lay tiles. There is a randomness in the tiles you get, but there is a lot of strategy in placing you tiles and placing your people. Also there are a lot of expansions available to add variations to the game. This is a must have for any game collection. |
Gamepug
| This game should be a standard in every game collection. This tile laying game offers a great blend of strategy and randomness. The components are great - meeples - need I say more? |
Curt Carpenter
| This game has sold how many bazillions of copies, including the countless expansions? A couple of the expansions really do make this better, but the base game is perfectly serviceable. Beware slow players, however. It's a tile placement game, and as the game progresses, each tile can be placed in more and more places, potentially resulting in mental meltdown. Letting people choose their tile at the end of each turn, rather than at the beginning, can help mitigate this somewhat. |
tofuji
| A great gateway game, and my own introduction into the world of gaming. The game play is simple enough for most to pick up, which the scoring keeps everyone in the game until the end. The best use of the farmers is probably the hardest part to pick up, but that comes with time. |
