Rhubarbio (27 KP) rated Carcassonne in Tabletop Games

Easy to learn (1 more)
Great for kids
Carcassonne is a modern board gaming classic, but one which did not grab me or my gaming group. I went all in by buying a Big Box with multiple expansions, but the variety in the game just wasn't enough for me to enjoy this and see it as anything but a linear tile placement game that subjected me to spend my time putting down tiles and scoring spaces. However, I appreciate my view is in the minority. If you are on the fence about buying this game, I suggest you try before you buy, so you don't end up spending too much and potentially not enjoying this game, like me.

Pioneered video gaming. (4 more)
Challenging but doable levels.
Easy to learn gameplay.
Beautiful and colorful levels.
Variety of adversaries.
This game is an absolute must play for anyone who even calls themselves a casual gamer. Without Super Mario Bros it's entirely possible gaming as we know it today might not exist. This is such an influential piece of entertainment history. The game has 8 vibrant and colorful levels divided into 4 sections each. Each level is unique in one way or another and presents the player with it's own unique challenges. There are plenty of hidden treasures to discover and while the game is challenging, it never feels impossible. We all owe so much love and respect to the original.
Entertainment Editor (1988 KP) rated Ra in Tabletop Games
Mar 8, 2018
It’s difficult to spend time in the board gaming hobby and not hear the name “Reiner Knizia.” His name is a staple in the industry, and depending on your gaming sensibilities, that can be a good thing or a bad thing. For my birthday, my sister gave me one of Knizia’s flagship games, Ra. And while for me Knizia’s fame is a very good thing, not everyone agrees with me (namely, @Futurewolfie). Read on for an explanation of the game and our review. Spoiler alert: lots of disagreement ahead.

A fantastic read.
Set in a futuristic world were VR is the biggest part of their everyday lives, many people play in the Oasis. The Oasis is a VR game where anyone can be anyone. Gamers are attempting to beat the game to win the prize money that has been left by the creator and to inherit the game itself.
I really enjoyed this concept and the fact that the Oasis challenges are the classic games like Pac man, games I have enjoyed and can relate to.
The best aspect of this book is, even though it's set in a world nothing like ours, we can relate to the characters and their enjoyment with tech and gaming and escaping reality as we do when gaming or reading.
