Agree with Chuck. Two players make for a nice challenge. We altered the rules by allowing each player to draw two tiles so that one has a choice in the next play. Retain one and place the other.

The two player game of Carcassonne is actually much deeper once you master it. Luck can be nearly completely mitigated by solid play. The depth of the game isn’t easily apparent, but I promise you that it exists in two player games.

Great review!

I played this once on a whim with my wife. Initially we found the scoring a little confusing but once we muddled through and started to get a grasp of the game I enjoyed it.

It is a quick play (after dinner is a good way to state it) and that is always something I appreciate.

In reply to Tony Harwood. I agree. There are a whole pile of expansions for it. Some are much better than others too.

I have played this game a couple of times – my son really rates it.

I would summarize by saying that it is a good after dinner game and ideally played with four gamers.

I would point out that it plays a whole lot better with one of the extensions – I have the river extension pack (but there are others).
