This is a really great game, even for people who don’t love games. It is rather easy to learn, the pieces are colorful and of very good quality, and the game play, although not difficult, does not insult your intelligence by being too easy or childish. Oh, and the game is NOT about Indiana Jones or about religion- it is just about having more valuable land/farms/roads/etc than any other player. I recommend this game to anyone who wants to think a little, but not break their brain.

We love Carcassonne and play it all the time. We got this just for fun and for some variety, and we are happy with it.
It’s very easy to learn if you’re familiar with Carcassonne. It has some elements from other versions of Carc, and some new twists. If you’re familiar with Carcassonne, it doesn’t take long to come up with strategies, but as with all of these games, winning depends as much upon luck as strategy. You can “play nice” or “mean”, too, which can add lots of fun!! The Ark movement is a nice addition for those times when you can’t place meeple anywhere, and the temple scoring adds some suspense and at times, means tough decisions if you want to ensure winning the points.
Overall, this is a good addition to the Carcassonne family and is as much fun for 2 as it is for larger groups.
