	Windopaene's World - Game Reviews - Carcassonne

	Bruno Faidutti
		Carcassonne is a true game, a rather light, enjoyable, fast paced one, with a good luck-skill balance, which can be played as well with two or with five players.
		All the basic rules and systems of the original Carcassonne are still there, with a few clever twists and adjustments (huts built on stilts on the lakes, bonus tiles that make you play again when you complete a forest, less people per player) that make the game both more dynamic and more tactical.
		Carcassonne - The City is a meatier version of the game, and is original enough to deserve its own entry in the ideal game library.

	Carcassonne review, by Tom Vasel
		Carcassonne looks fantastic when set up on the table, has a wide range of expansions available, and should be a part of every gamer’s collection.
		I must say that Wrede’s later Carcassonne works are getting better, as the game now has had the benefit of hundreds of thousands of playings.
		The tile mix in Carcassonne is good, but the tile mixes in Carcassonne: Hunters and Gatherers and Ark of the Covenant are better, as they tend to check farmers more.

		Overall, the graphics in Carcassonne are attractive, and the inclusion of several optional ways to view the tiles is nice.
		Beyond that the UI and player helpers are absolutely great; the game is easier to play on the computer than on the tabletop as a result, and thus it earns a top rating of "5" out of "5" for Style.
		Also included in the gameplay of this Carcassonne package is the river, which allows you to layout a river, and slightly change the setup position for the core game.
