Rio Grande Games Carcassonne Big Box Reviews:

My husband and I love to play board games and cards, and if you do too, this is a must have game! We think of it as a mix between Risk and SimCity. It is a wonderful family game too b/c our 9 year old son can play with us using the basic tiles, but then adults that start to master the basic set can keep adding addition sets to lengthen and add difficulty to the game.
Very fun game – one I would highly recommend. Just buy the bigbox now so youdont waste the money buying it later after you get addicted to the base game.
I learned to play Carcassonne this past summer in the middle of the woods in Spain, and since then I’ve been hooked. It incorporates traditional aspects of strategy a lá Risk, Stratego, etc., but because of the piece-by-piece process of building the puzzle-like board, there is a degree of spontaneity and flow those games lack. It is thoroughly enjoyable whether played with 2 or 5 players, and the additional expansions (most of which come in the Carcassonne Big Box at a great price) bring entirely new dynamics to the game that can make it anew for even a long time player. Of all the great boardgames I’ve played in my lifetime, I can’t think of any other that allows as much player interaction as Carcassonne, and you can usually play a game in 30-60 minutes as long as all players know the rules.
