Carcassonne-Forum

Hi kettlefish!
... I've gotten all of the CAR corrections done, so I'm going to start working on the strategy guide part now. I plan on putting a posting on Carcassonne Central to ask for people's input, to add to what I have already. If you put a German posting here on the Carcassonne Forum, I bet we could get even more good thoughts.

Greetings,

Hi all,

I am looking to collect Carcassonne strategies for inclusion in the next version of the CAR. I have a few, but I'm looking to add more. Anyone who has a good strategy, either one that you use or one that has been used against you, feel free to share it right here.

Since the CAR is intended for all levels of play, I'm hoping for all levels of complexity. Something simple like putting a barn on your own farm so you get the points twice, or even just tried-and-true ways of stealing farms, is just fine. Mixing expansions is also good (my opponent killed me with a big meeple-ferries combo the first time I played with the Ferries). Of course, don't shy away from complexity. If you have an awesome mayor-pig-bridge combo, let us know about it.

That's a great idea.

I honestly don't have any great strategies, but I do notice that many people put their builder on cities hoping to score more points from big cities that they can extend on. They normally get their builder locked in and it is useless for most of the game, so I instead stick to placing the builder on roads only. They are easier to build on and gain the extra tile, and you can always use that extra tile to build cities should you get a piece with a city on it.
