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!

I’ve been watching your videos for a while to help me understand board games. I really enjoy how clearly you explain things. I recently purchased the second expansion for Carcassone - traders and builders. I’d love it if you could do some tutorials about how to play some of the expansion kits please. I’ve looked at a couple of other tutorials, but no one explains it as well as you.

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 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!

Watch It Played Do you have a background in technical writing or do you have a method by which you go to reorganize and convey a games information? I find that the better I am at teaching a game the better the experience for the recipient (go figure). But I don’t know how to get specifically & consistently better at teaching in general.

I don't have a background in that field. I'm not sure how to explain my process exactly. I just rearrange things into a flow that feels more straightforward in my head, and then hope that works for the majority of my viewers as well :)

I understand this is a fairly old game and I'm excitedly waiting for my 20th anniversary copy. I've heard a lot of good things already about this game and it seemingly built to be a main stay game that is fairly friendly not only to me but to all kinds of gaming group. This is something I find of similar vibes with likes of Castles of Burgundy, Azul or Kingdomino. Thanks for the teach as usual!❤
