I play this at lunch break whenever we have in-office days. My programming coworkers are mostly very shy like me. It can be hard to talk. But I started bringing this years ago. One friend plays with me everytime. Others come whenever they want. When we get a new coworker, I invite them. They feel more like they belong, and I really like that. --My one friend even made an app to randomize what expansions we play each time! Everyone knows they are invited. Thank you for teaching this game. One of my new coworkers watched to learn how to play beforehand! :)

Your videos are great, Rodney - but I especially appreciate this one. I can't put my finger on why, but I never understood Carcassonne. I don't mean that I never understood why it was enjoyable, I mean it genuinely never clicked with me how to play. It was frustrating because I play and love much weightier games and never had this issue - my brain, for some reason, just could not process what I was looking at, though, with Carcassonne. You can see where I'm going with this - your video finally explained it to me in a way that it clicked. I really appreciate that! Your explanations are clear and helpful, and your videos are well done. Thanks!

Another old classic that everyone should own. Awesome job Rodney. I never quite understood the points system for this, but now I know how to do it right. Wow. I really love these new videos. Are you going to do any more classics? :D

Although there are other board games with the same mechanics of play (like calico, micropolis or cascadia) but carcassonne has always it's place. Cool video😊

My question would be whether the river does divided the area of farmlands, or only the roads, and the castles?

Yes, rivers divide farmland just like roads.

Anything else on the tiles in this base set, are just decorations - some bonus art to add some character to them.

Another great tutorial, Rodney! This is a favorite game of mine. I have several of the expansions, too. I think that my rule book refers to a Meeple on a road as a Thief.

I consider myself as a bit of a Carcassonne veteran, having played it for hundreds of hours on my mobile device. But after watching this brilliant vid, I've just ordered the tabletop game to enjoy with my family. Great work sir. P.s would you consider doing a video for Scotland Yard please?

I finally decided to get this one and got the Big Box to play with my wife. Im the one who is more the gamer and have been looking for games she would like. This one never seemed that interesting. Maybe the cover art looked like a snoozer to me. We've mostly played short games like Lost Cities and Patchwork lately but she enjoys Stone Age and Viticulture too. Im hoping this one will be a hit. It arrives soon. Thanks for the great videos!
