Although firmly on Team Carcassonne, I was curious about this other cornerstone of modern board gaming, but figured I'd wait until my daughter was old enough to comprehend or care. Then I spotted it at a bargain price that I wasn't likely to again, so snapped it up. The trading aspect lends it less well to disassociative solo playing than Carcassonne, but a mandatory 2-for-1 rule makes it workable in the meantime. At least it should be easier to resist expansion fever this time.
