Strategize tactics to finish a path or create a situation to trap your opponents? The kids of Carcassonne is a great game for teaching kids strategy thinking, cooperation and consequences of decisions. Each player takes turn to draw a landscape tile and place it. Each tile shows the players’ colors on the roads. When a road is built, every player places one of his meeples on each appropriate picture. The first player who manages to place all of his meeples wins the game.
