To Play: A
clever tile-laying game based around the French city of Carcassonne famous for
it's medieval fortifications. Players develop the area around Carcassonne by
placing land tiles. With each turn the area becomes larger as the players
expand and add roads, fields, cities, and cloisters. The players may also
deploy their followers as thieves, farmers, knights, and monks to control and
score points for the roads, farms, cities, and cloisters. As the players have
only a few followers, the wise player will plan their moves carefully and
deploy followers when and where they can earn the most points.
Carcassonne brings new
challenges with every turn. First impressions of Carcassonne will probably be
that it is largely a game of luck. And while the luck of drawing the right
tiles is high, this is a game that does require skilful play.
