Carcassonne

2-5 Players

30 - 40 mins

Winner of the 2001 Game of the Year

Lay tiles to build the landscape around Carcassonne (France) filled with castles, roads and cloisters.

Why it may be for you:

- simple turns. Take a tile and add it to the map, then add one of your pawns to claim a feature if you choose.

- low conflict. There is some interaction, but it is gentle and slow building.

- plays very well with 2 players especially.

- very quick set up

- Visually pleasing, the 'board' is created over the coarse of the game like a puzzle.

Why it may not be for you:

- there is a healthy dose of luck which may frustrate people.

- You may find it too pleasant...
