Carcassonne is a strategic game, that’s fun for the whole family.
You create the board as you go using small tiles that have roads, cities and monasteries. On your turn you play your tile, connecting it to existing tiles already on the board. It’s almost a big puzzle where you have to find the right “fit” for each piece.
Once you play your tile, you have the option to play a meeple, which is where the scoring and strategy come into play. Watch our video below for more details!

At first I thought Carcassonne seemed complicated, but once I got the hang of it, I was rolling! I really like Carcassonne!

I like Carcassonne because of the meeple people. I also like that I can play it with my whole family! It reminds me of a big puzzle, and I like puzzles!

I like that there’s only a few rules. Once you know those it’s a simple and fast paced game. The “puzzle” aspect entices the kids, the strategy side keeps it entertaining for adults.

It’s a good entry-level strategy game for kids. You can play the whole game just thinking about your own paths/points, or you can start to get a little competitive and potentially mess with the other players plans. My son is 7 years old and he begins to lose interest about 3-5 turns into the game. I really think he will enjoy the game more once he gets older.
