Carcassonne

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 his 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.
