The guy bringing in a new table at 22:55 is the most Carcassonne thing ever

Carcassonne is a tile-placement game in which the players draw and place a tile with a piece of southern French landscape on it. The tile might feature a city, a road, a cloister, grassland or some combination thereof, and it must be placed adjacent to tiles that have already been played, in such a way that cities are connected to cities, roads to roads, etcetera. Having placed a tile, the player can then decide to place one of their meeples on one of the areas on it: on the city as a knight, on the road as a robber, on a cloister as a monk, or on the grass as a farmer. When that area is complete, that meeple scores points for its owner.

During a game of Carcassonne, players are faced with decisions like: "Is it really worth putting my last meeple there?" or "Should I use this tile to expand my city, or should I place it near my opponent instead, giving him a hard time to complete their project and score points?" Since players place only one tile and have the option to place one meeple on it, turns proceed quickly even if it is a game full of options and possibilities.

Commentator: "He did it! He places the tile. Oh wow what a game ladies and gentlemen!"

A view from overhead, even just 1/4 of the screen would have been helpful. Difficult to see what is really happening here!

Stupid question

Are the Carcassonne World Championships held in Carcassonne?

[rhopinu]

Why don't they view the whole game from the top view?

[antiussentiment]

Where did this fabulous tile set come from? Is it an official thing or custom?

[arjanstoel]

22:00 why not turn the tile with the road to the bottem to make the city impossible to finish?

Hello friends, who won this game? Many thanks.

[brettwyman]

I watched all 35 minutes... The hell is this?!

[elilakey]

I love Carcassonne, but this is rather funny to me. What is stopping an average player from competing in the World Championship? It strikes me as a normal game of Carcassonne.

[jpay]

20:23 what was the advantage of yellow playing there over (viewers right) of the screen?

[TheodorAndersen]

not a single comment.. very cool board!

[Peiro]

First time blue place a meaple in the field, is it legal? Is not the same field as the yellow one? Or does the cities split the field? 7:39

[FinnMcRiangabra]

The move at 4:40 looks, to a neophyte like me to be a wrong move. why not make it harder for blue to complete his city by placing 3 spaces "north east" of the monastery? It would not have helped with the actual tiles played, but blue was looking at big points from that city/knight.

Why does the young kid need to show his tile to the opponent, but the opponent never does it to the kid?
