Players
develop the area around Carcassonne by placing land tiles. 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
is a simple, clever tile laying game, that 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 skillful
play.
