The tactics are pretty simple: pick up a tile and put it down so it matches, then maybe put a guy on it. We’ve had good luck with Ellric with Carcasonne.

by Mark Musante
age 4e1

Samantha loves playing it. I love to watch her reaction as she gets to move forward. I love the sympathy she expresses when I’m forced to move backward. I like the way it teaches her to wait for her turn, to have patience, to not get upset when Zoe walks by and wants to join in even though she doesn’t know how to play. I like that Samantha has gone from anger at losing, to saying ‘good game, want to try again?’. I like the fact that I don’t have to think, so I can concentrate on watching the other kids as they play. I also make up for the numbing mindlessness of it all by teaching Alec to play Go. And so in conclusion the end.
