REVIEW:
"Full of good humor and lots of interesting comments and strategy. Probably the best book about games ever."
~ Alan R Moon (designer of Ticket to Ride)
ABOUT THE BOOK:
There has been something of a revolution recently in the world of board games and card games. Not the violent sort of revolution, with riots and decapitated monarchs, but a peaceful revolution that has given the world many exciting new things to enjoy - less like the French Revolution and more like the Industrial Revolution, or Prince and the Revolution.
Ticket to Carcassonne is your guide to the new world of tabletop games.
Part history lesson and part strategy guide, this is a book for both beginners and experienced game players alike. Author Steve Dee shares his enthusiasm for the hobby and talks about many different games and genres with passion and a sense of humour, but focuses in particular on five of the biggest modern games. Find out the stories of their creation, with interviews from several of the designers, and improve your game by following the detailed strategy guides. For when you have mastered those games, Ticket to Carcassonne also contains many suggestions for what to try next.
