Episode 20 - Carcassonne

The big episode 20 is here and with it a game that is 20 years old. Wow! That works so well that you'd think we planned it, but as you are likely well aware, this isn't really that kind of show.

Hop into the interdecisional spaceship and travel with us to a time long ago, the year 2000. Specifically, we'll travel to a time and place where a cutting-edge board game with a strange name has just been released. The game? Carcassonne. In today's episode, we discuss the decision space, decisions, and much more in this classic design by Klaus-Jürgen Wrede. We hope you enjoy our conversation.

Games Discussed

Carcassonne, Underwater Cities, Ticket to Ride and more...
