Asmodee Carcassonne Board Game - Classic Tile-Laying Strategy Game, Family Fun Medieval Adventure for Kids & Adults, Ages 7+, 2-5 Players, 35 Minute Playtime

This game is great to play with the family or just two people (we actually like it best with just 2 players). The whole game takes about 30 minutes, whether playing with 2 or 4 people, and it’s so easy to learn. There are some mini expansions/extra rules included to make the game slightly longer or more complex, but our kids like to play just the basic rules for a fast, not too complicated game.Also love that there is no set up and easy clean up. The pieces look nice and seem very nice quality. We buy and try out a LOT of games, most don’t get played more than a few times, but this one became an instant favorite.

I am always in search of games for two people. My husband and I quickly became addicted to this game. This one is perfect for two, but also for more players, also. We have played it with 4 people. It was just as fun.

Carcassonne has become one of my household's favorite games. We enjoy it so well that we have since purchased a couple of the expansions and have taught quite a few people how to play. If you're on the fence, this is a great way to get into Carcassonne without jumping into it's 10 or so expansions. You get the base game, two mini-expansions, and great meeples.The Good: Artwork on the tiles is great. It looks good, and is easily understood. The included meeples are all painted wood and look fantastic. I'm pretty sure Carcassonne's meeples are actually credited with the now hallmark shape of a "meeple". The game has great table presence, like building an empire on your dinner table! Setup is relatively quick, I feel it plays equally well at 2 players as it does at higher player counts. This version of the game also includes the Abbot & River mini-expansions which I now include every time we play.The Bad: While the cardboard tiles & score track look great, take care when separating them from their cards. Several of mine didn't appear to be pre-cut well enough, and if you're not careful you can tear some of the printing.The Indifferent: Meeple placement & scoring rules can be a bit overwhelming for new players, especially if they are relatively new to modern board games. I recommend, and I believe the instructions do as well, limiting the scoring options for the first couple plays. For instance, we left out the two mini-expansions as well as the "farmer" for the first playthrough.Overall, my wife and I and our 10 year old son love this game, and we have had nothing but great reactions from others we've introduced to it. Now we play with all base rules, the two mini-expansions, and two additional expansions. That is a testament to the playability of this game once you learn how it works.

My wife's favorite game. This version definitely looks better than previous versions, but I wish it was closer to the 20th anniversary edition, which is gorgeous by comparison. Still, I came to this game late in my gaming career, after playing much heavier games. My wife has played far fewer. My children are range all over. All of us enjoyed this game far more than we thought we would.

Back again for a third time. My wife and i love this game so much that we decided to purchase a third set. We don’t have any expansions. We play with 2 river sets tiles and three regular sets tiles. We also have our own version of how we play. Usually we were so even that the end game winner was just whoever could figure out how to steal the most farm fields. So we came up with house rules where we each own our side of the river and ask each other permission to build on the other side, for example using a road block to end the road and create the division. Overall we play on average 4 times a week… and honestly more if we had the time. This has quickly become a staple as one of our favorite activities to do together.

One of the greatest games made never the same when played.Only issue was box was crushed when received and some parts were damaged but still usable. Sad for a brand new purchase...
