Perfect! I have only 5 mins before I play this for the first time, with friends. Glad to see this 3 minute video!

Your videos are absolutely fantastic. This one in particular is very clear and wonderfully paced.

Girl, you are amazing! Exceptional work and didactic explaining. And the visual of the tiles and animations are precise.

I have watched all your videos and I have to say I love, love, LOVE how short and concise they are. It is disturbing to me to watch videos with a bunch of filler. A lot of game video makers want to talk about themselves and their friends. You get straight to the point. Bravo! Great videos!

every feature of this video is incredibly pleasant and eye soothing. great content!

Your video was great, short, direct, clear, and perfectly explained so I understand the rules and scoring. Seems hard to explain rules for this game the right way, so thanks for your work.

Absolutely amazing clarity and production value, so impressed, well done! Where/how do you get all the graphics for all the game pieces and components?

Love your concise yet clear explanation! Great graphics too 😀

These videos must take a ton of work. Thanks so much, they are worth the effort.

Just tried to learn this on the PC version by both reading the rules manual and playing the tutorial, both made no sense and then BAM this video made everything clear. Amazing!

Concise & helpful! One point that could've used clarification: How does a road end? Your example at 1:32 shows a branching road, which seems like the opposite of a road that ends...

Super clear and to the point, no excess. Thank you!

Your rule explanations are so fantastic! Thank you so much for making them

I love your videos! They are very clear and concise. reminds me of the Clever Move quickplay videos for doomtown. I also really enjoy the suggestions at the end of the video. Subscribed!

Great video. I look forward to seeing more of these!

My favorite game. My wife and I play all the time. Great video!

Fast and easy. And perfect to listen to on my way to explain the game to my friends

Excellent summary. Very clear. Thanks

Amazing. So well done and quick!

Great explanation and also to the point. Thank you for the vid.

Subbed - great quick explanation!

Fantastic short video for explaining this game. I plan on buying Carcassonne soon with an expansion pack in case of power outages.

Thank you for saving my game night. I’ve never played this one 😂

Munchkin please! And keep it up. These are feeling awesome!

Thank you for this!

Well explained, thank you!

Love this game play!!

Nice work - you've earned yourself a sub. =)

AMAZING EXPLANATION!!

0:13 "The goal of the game, is to win !" NO SHIT 😂😂

This was so easy to understand

Decent introduction to the rules, although I think it needs an explanation about how it is possible to share cities/roads and how to score that aspect

If you both place a worker on a road or city that someone else is also on (that isn’t a directly adjacent tile) Once the gap is filled so to speak and a tile is played connecting those two. Then Two workers could be on the same road or city.

I think for a crash-course type video (that can also serve as a game trailer for the uninitiated), this video is perfect. There are plenty of other in-depth videos for games such as this that can illuminate such nuances as two followers winding up on the same road or castle. This video wasn't trying to be like those others. If she's reading this: Bravo on this brilliant and concise video.

@@jaerivus The video description is "how to play Carcassonne in 3 minutes" - I watched it prior to playing my first ever game, and I felt it did a really good job except for mentioning the sharing aspect, which is a key part of the game (not really a nuance). In my opinion, if an extra 30 seconds had been spent on that it would have been perfect.

Agreed. Just played a whole game, not understanding sharing, and totally changed the game. She shows it but doesn't explain it. You can only share by starting on your own city, road, or field and then merging them later.

Really nice video, I want to know how to edit/make videos like this !

Nicely done! The only thing that you could have highlighted more is how to actually "invade" other cities or roads. You only show what's happening when there is a tie, but you do not explain how to produce one (or that this is an actual strategy to steal other cities). But apart from this, I really like the way you explain everything and the video quality! :)

Yeah, I debated with myself on whether or not I wanted to mention it. My philosophy right now is that I should only explain rules, and let players discover the little tricks and strategies those rules allow for themselves. It's tricky in cases like this where that behavior's pretty hard to discover by yourself. Thank you for the feedback!

I totally see your point. I know that this rule is something a lot of new players get wrong and they might think it is "forbidden" to create such a situation. But I think your indirect explanation of what happens in a split is enough to see that this is a valid move. I'm looking forward to your next videos! :)

Perfect vid for new players and as a quick reminder when it hasnt been played for long.

Thank you!

Great video! I agree with some others, that it would be helpful to include the fact that two or more features with followers can merge, and explain how that leads to sharing the points or vying for a majority. Another rule you missed is that once farmers are placed, they remain for the rest of the game even if the farm is closed during play. Cheers!

Yeah, I might do an "advanced" video someday covering that. EDIT: Oh, I misread! As for the farmers, I meant for it to be implied that they'd carry over to farms too. I'll probably do that "advanced" video at some point to clarify farms!

Could you create a rules video for Orbital Velocity?

have a question for you that maybe i cannot grasp from the rules provided from the game. Farmers: Do cities give each players farmers points, i am talking about the case that two different farms are attached to the same city. Does that mean that a single player can get multiple times the same points from the same city from different fields? If one city attached on different fields from different players, does the player with most farmers get the sole points, even though their farms are not attached? Knights : Lets take example the tile placement from the video at 1:46 and say that the two different cities where actually one, with common piece the top left of the video. Does that piece(the top left) count as 4 points or 2 points? If my explanation confused you plz tell me where Thanks in advance

Only one beef. The rules make clear the youngest player goes first. This is a vital rule. Sincerely, The youngest person in my game group 😂

Keep it up.

Playing Carcassonne on steam. some tiles have buildings on them with a road. I can't tell if they do anything or not and there seems to be no way to highlight the tile and determine. Any ideas?

nice video. You might want to look into using a pop shield for your microphone. you can make one really easily with a coat hanger and some stockings

my friend liked this

Your animation is so nice, do you do it yourself?

What is the software that this movie is created in ?

Interesting game

You said no two followers can be on the same feature but you also said that at the end of the game whoever has more followers on a feature gets the points. So?

@TheRulesGirl

Great question! You can't place a follower on a feature that already has a follower, but what if two roads merge into one?

I got my family this for Christmas, and we were sooooooooo confused by how to score

Is it true you must do the actions in SPECIFIC order. Draw/Place Tile>Place Meeple>Score Improvements. Why I'm asking this distinction. If you do not have any more meeples, as I understand it, you cannot place a tile that completes an improvement, thereby scoring it and taking back your meeple, and then placing your meeple on your newly placed tile. Example being if you had a two tile city with a meeple in the city, and you have no other meeples, you cannot play a tile that has a road, and would also complete that city, and then move that meeple to the road. Any thoughts?

@TheSquire06

Exactly, scoring happens after placing the meeple, so you wouldn't be able to place that meeple until the next turn.

How do farms work.

I wonder what game I'm thinking of but it doesn't have the people (followers). My dad is always the one buying board games. You have to bid on the tiles and then each person has their own area that they are building on.

Guessing if someone took a road and later on a different road emerges, gets taken by a different player, and later on the two roads connect?

I hoped to get rid of my confusion regarding farmland, sadly this didn't really solve it. When at the end of the game does a farmland have to be completely secluded (by roads and etc.) and does that apply when a farmland peace is on the edge of the map? This is the only detail of this game I can't get quite right yet from reading the rules alone.

Terker2 Terker2 to my understanding, farmers are only (and always) scored at the end of the game. They don't have to be completed by roads etc. The farm will just stretch out as far of contiguous field there is, sometimes up to the edge of the board. Theyre pretty OP within the base game because of how far they can stretch and the completed castles they can touch; the first couple expansions try to balance this out by adding more value to the other feature types

Hi guys, saw your comment and never got around to answering, sorry about that! Farms won't get scored until the end of the game, and it's going to cover all of the contiguous green parts (anything green that's not completely cut off by roads or cities). Now that you've figured out how big your farm is, earn 3 points for every completed city within your farm.

How are points calculated when I complete a city with 2 or more followers on it and my opponed also have a follower there?

One question, when the game ends and you have 2 or more guys standing on the same unfinished castle. Do you get 1 point per tile times 2 or how many guys you have occupied on the castle or does it count only as 1 point per tile?

If there is a draw of the number of people standing in a feauture, both of the players get same points (eg. in city both players get 2 points per tile) if one person has more people in a feauture than the other person, the person with the most people in the feautre gets the points (you still get the same number of points as if there was only one person in the feature) Sry if you could not understand anything :( Pardon my english

Wow,. Great videos. Easily the slickest and well made ones on youtube. These board game companies need to hire people like you to make videos like this for them. It would help sell the game. These would also be a boon to board game cafes. One of the worst things about going to one of those is wasting time learning the rules of a new game. Videos like this dramatically decrease those time and get people playing quicker and start having fun.

Thank you! I haven't played the physical version in years, and forgot how farms and monasteries worked. The tutorial on the Steam version is...mediocre, to say the least.

*MEEPLE

Pretty sure you didn't mention that a follower can't be removed from a farmland until the end scoring.

Too much of an info is missing. Nice production though. Thanks anyhow...

Pretty sure farmers score 4 points per city
