Best Carcassonne game?

Question

Between Hunters and Gatherers, The Discovery, and the original plus expansions, which is the best Carcassonne game?

Answer 1

In my opinion? Original plus limited expansions. My group always plays with all the land tiles from original plus Inns & Cathedrals, King & Scout and Traders & Builders (we don't care for The River). We use the scoring from Inns & Cathedrals and we use the "uber meeples," but we don't use pigs or builders or any of the rules from Traders & Builders or King & Scout. At the end we use the original farm scoring (city by city rather than field by field).

Answer 2

"Best" depends on what you are looking for. The easiest one to learn if you've never played before is Hunters & Gatherers. You can buy the others when you are confortable with H&G and the expansions when you are looking for more options to the basic game.

Answer 3

Original + expansions

we play with king & scout, inns&cathedrals, traders & builders, river 1, river 2, and the games quarterly mini-expansion.

Because there are now so many tiles, the game takes a lot longer (because there are twice as many tiles). We just take out tiles to make the game last as long as the original base game.

Answer 4

Try Hunters & Gatherers. Simple and best
