New Game

Carcassonne:  The Castle

This is the game we purchased during our recent trip.  We've played plenty of games of Carcassonne but this version of the game, The Castle, is made for two players.

The game is a tile drawing game where the map fills in as the game is played.  One player draws a tile that will have some combination of paths, houses, towers, or fields on it and plays it within the castle walls in a place that it lines up with previously played tiles.

After placing your tile you have an opportunity to play one of your pieces on the tile to try and collect points later in the game for that element.  There is a lot of strategy in tile placement and playing your six pieces.

This game has already jumped up near the top of the list for 2 player games with us.  I think as we have more time to play and figure out stronger strategies, we will enjoy this game even more.

If you are looking for a great two player game that doesn't have a rule book that will give you a headache, then Carcassonne: The Castle is one I would check out.
