	Carcassonne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Carcassonne (Location: 43°13′N 02°22′E) (Carcassona in Occitan) is a fortified French town, in the Aude département, of which it is the préfecture, in the former province of Languedoc.
		Carcassonne was struck from the roster of official fortifications under Napoleon and the Restauration, and the fortified cité of Carcassonne fell into such disrepair that the French government decided that it should be demolished.
		The history of Carcassonne is re-told in fiction, in the novel Labyrinth by Kate Mosse.

	RPGnet: Review of Carcassonne
		Game play begins with the placement of a special starting tiles which includes a corner of a city, a straight road segment, and fields on either side of the road.
		Although Carcassonne is always referred to as a tile-laying game, it's really closest in style to the traditional "pipe-laying" games, and thus ultimately derives from the "Dominos" family of game design.
		This prehistoric game has some slight rules variations to support the closure of cities (forests), and overall works a tiny bit better than this core game, but is not as well supported by supplements A third standalone Carcassonne game, Carcassonne: The Castle, is also due out this year; it's to be a two-player only game.

		Carcassonne the game, recreates that region with square tiles depicting roads, fields, cities and cloisters (or churches).
		Carcassonne is a very easy game to play, and best of all it is a great short game to play as a warm up game for a games night or a cool down game when you don't have time to play a longer game.
		In a 2 player game you are more likely to get the tile you need than in a 5 player game, and you are more likely to get what you need if you need it early in the game than if you need it late in the game.

	Funagain Games: Carcassonne
		Carcassonne is a free-form tile laying game, in the course of which the players create a landscape made of walled cities, monasteries, roads and fields.
		Carcassonne, by Klaus Jurgen Wrede (Mesopotamia, Carcassone: Hunters and Gatherers and many more), is a clever and fun tile-laying game for between 2 and 5 people.
		This really is one of the very best ‘gateway’ games, a game that is different, attractive and fun, and one that shows people new to gaming that there is more to board games than Monopoly or the Game of Life.

	Funagain Games: Carcassonne: The City
		The impressive city of Carcassonne was a magnet for tourists from all lands even in the middle ages.
		The game ends when the last wall is built, the entire city is enclosed by walls, or the two ends of the city wall are within five walls of each other (in which case the city is automatically finished).
		The game, while offering more strategic options to “gamers”, is one of the easiest to teach new players; and I’ve brought many to the fold in the past couple weeks, using this excellent game.

	Carcassonne: Hunters & Gatherers Review
		Though some people don't enjoy the game as much when players are actively trying to thwart each other-such as playing tiles that make completion of another player's large city impossible, preventing the score and trapping a meeple-that's when I think the game is at its strongest.
		The game has 91 tiles, which are the same size as those in the original game.
		Carcassonne is the award-winning game, with one commercial expansion under its belt, and another promised.

	RPGnet: Review of Carcassonne: The Computer Game
		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.
		At the end of the game, all the fields are scored, as are any open cities, roads, or cloisters--though cities are less valuable at this point.
		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.
