Carcassonne holds a unique place in the universe of games. Part territory building, part puzzle solving and part resource management, a Carcassonne game is an excellent introduction for first-time board game players and experienced gamers alike.
Klaus-Jurgen Wrede came up with an inspired design that includes adorable little "meeple", your diminutive representatives on the Carcassonne board. The board itself is constructed as the game is played, with players drawing tiles, choosing where to place them, and sending meeple out to help work farms or build cities and roads.
As usual, the publisher Rio Grande brings the world to life with outstanding bits that are works of art in their own right. The entire package makes the Carcassonne board game essential for anyone interested in board games.
