Carcassonne

If you like board games such as "Settlers of Catan" check out Carcassonne. This game was introduced to Superwoman and myself, by some friends of ours. We had an absolute hoot playing it. I highly recommend it.

There are a few reasons why I like this game. First, its a fun strategy board game. Second, it has competitive elements, but to win, players should work together. (I suppose it could be played cutthroat, but I don't think it would be nearly as fun) Third, this game is fun to play casually, it appeals to a wider audience than your average hardcore Strategy Board Game, there are elements of gameplay that just about any player can enjoy.
