The rules are explained quite easily and quickly. The game is much more interesting, however. In addition, the expansion of the game idea to all game situations fits:
It is equally good for the heads-up with only two players, as well as for many players to max. 6 suited. (The extension "dragon and damsel" works such as heads-up very badly)
It harmonizes well with all other extensions Carcassone.
It does not contain destructive game components, but rather promotes the konstuktiven town planner. Man parchesi you-no-effect remains from this and therefore there also with kids no tears. (The alternative expansion tower or "dragon and damsel", the tears fast printing times increase) Despite the more aggressive game stems are not hindered. The Apply of cities is no more difficult than in the basic game.
We play Carcassone often in conjunction with several alternate extensions. Dealers and builders is always added at fixed into the base game.
