guantanamo89Yes It's different enough from Carcassonne to be interesting. All the others get somewhat boring compared to just play Carc.
Ed the Red78Yes Slightly simpler and more forgiving of mistakes (because you can always opt to remove a piece even in an incomplete area) than the original Carcassonne, this is nice to look at, with chunky tiles and perfectly playable by children younger than the publisher's stated age. Good for pattern matching, and quite fun, with enough luck to make it winnable by anyone.
Warbanner710Yes Perhaps simpler than the original Carcassonne, but still not a simple game for children. They may enjoy the tile-laying, but children won't play this well, and may not even get it fully, unless they're at least in the double-digits.
