Number of players present: 4 ( 3 adults, 1 child under 14) all were returning gamers no new gamers
Carcassonne:
Three of our players were new to Carcassonne. It was interesting to see that two players decided to team up to try to build a huge castle. That was a nice strategy, but one of the people stabbed the other in the back and ended up getting to claim that huge castle all to herself and that propelled her to an easy victory.
This is a tile placement game in which players lay down tiles that make an imaginary land full of roads and castles. As tiles are placed, workers are assigned to become castle builders, road builders, monks building monasteries or farmers. As castles, roads and monasteries become complete, players score points based on the size or length of the structure. The real fun comes in when others can disrupt your building plans!
Type of game: Tile placement. Worker placement
Time to play: 30 minutes to 45 minutes
Difficulty: Easy - no text
Castle Panic:
Our crew of players barely survived! There are 6 castle pieces and 6 walls at the start of the game and we ended up with just 2 castle pieces left and only one wall! We were all happy and relieved that we had pulled off a win even though it did not look good for us during the entire game.
This is a cooperative game that has players working together to fight off hoards of monsters that are crashing in on our castle. Players must strategize together to best use everyone's resources to take care of immediate threats as well as to plan for possible threats that are always right around the corner.
Type of game: resource management (cards), collaborative, survival
Time to play: 30-45 minutes
Difficulty: Easy - minimal text just a few pieces
