Carcassonne makes board games fun again.

5 star rating

Carcassone is one of those games that is easy to learn, but engaging enough to be fun, over and over again.  The concept is simple, so simple it sounds like a children's game - lay down tiles to build castles, roads and farms.  But when your opponent merges his castle with yours, stealing the points to win the game, you realize the strategy isn't nearly as easy as the gameplay.

The game requires no more setup than Scrabble - put all the tiles face down, and teardown is just throwing them back in the box.  So it's perfect for a group of friends to pull out and play, without tying themselves to hours of drudgery like the products of certain monopolistic gaming companies.

Years after purchase, we still play Carcassonne regularly.
