**My First Carcassonne** introduces children ages four and up to the classic tile-laying gameplay of Carcassonne in a simplified format. The game retains the core mechanics of building the city while removing scorekeeping for easier play.
Set during a festive holiday in Carcassonne, the game features sheep, hens, and cows roaming the streets as children attempt to catch them. Players place tiles to expand the city, guiding the illustrated children to round up the animals before nightfall.
To win, players must close off streets containing children in their chosen color, allowing them to place pawns on the board. The first player to place all their pawns wins. The average playtime is 30 minutes, making it an accessible option for young players.
Things to Keep in MindA common concern is that the game is overly simplified, offering limited strategic depth and high randomness, which can lead to a lack of sustained engagement for children, particularly those nearing the age for or already familiar with the original Carcassonne. This perceived simplicity, combined with limited gameplay, leads some reviewers to consider the game overpriced. Why You'll Like ItThe game is noted for its simple, easy-to-learn concept, making it suitable for introducing young children to basic strategy in a non-intimidating way. Reviewers often highlight the quality and durability of the game pieces, along with its colorful artwork and minimal setup requirements.
