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 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 hope you enjoy the tabletop version, and thanks for the kind words! I avoid pre-announcing games I might cover as my schedule can change and I don't like to disappoint.

I've just purchased this game on iOS and have been struggling, even against the "easy" AI! Thanks Rodney!!
