Carcassone: T&B

Cracked open "Carcassone: Traders and Builders" expansion tonight. Grayson and I played 3 straight games... They were excellent! We mixed the expansion with the original Carc, with the river tiles added.

Adding the Trader to road segments speeds up the game slightly, and gives a neat 'bonus' to the road building. It also adds a nice incentive to do so. The Builder portion of the game really encourages you to complete mid-sized (3-4) cities with the commodity icons. These icons would be too tasty if not for the enhancements to the roads, so it's a great balance.

Gray immediately dubbed this the 'best Carcassone ever!' which pretty much sums up my feelings. Good fun.
