the board game to end all board games

A few weeks back, I decided it was time for a new game. I did some research online to find the best board game ever, and MAN, did I find it!

Carcassonne is named after a city in southern France. It's a fast-paced tile game in which you try to build cities, roads, cloisters, and farms. People tell me it's like Settlers of Catan. I know, totally nerdy, right?! I even bought it at Hastur Games & Hobbies -- the mecca of nerdiness. Judge me if you must, but this game is WICKED fun.

There are plenty of expansion packs so you never get bored (like you would anyway). We bought the first three expansion packs and they have been keeping us busy for HOURS!

We'll be playing it at Tequila Tuesday gatherings throughout the summer if you want to come check it out! Or, buy it for your own collection. It's totally worth the investment ($40 at Hastur but cheaper online).
