Carcassonne (New Edition)

Product Review (submitted on November 13, 2015):

Carcassonne is one of my all-time favorite games. This is a simple tile-laying game that has almost infinite variability, and quite a bit of depth for its design. On your turn, you pull a tile from the supply, and add a meeple to that tile to potentially score on building cities, roads, cloisters, or farms. Each type will score in different ways.
This is not only a great game to introduce people to the board gaming hobby, but provides the depth that long-time board game enthusiasts can appreciate. This new design sharpens the look of the game, but it is unfortunate that the color scheme does not match the existing expansions. Newcomers to the game will have to wait for the expansions to be re-released with the new design.
