Shortly before Christmas we finally got around to trying out a gift we were given last Christmas, the game Carcassonne. It has very quickly become a firm favourite, particularly of M and we have played it many times since. Unfortunately just yesterday we discovered that we hadn't been following the rules quite correctly and have started to do so, which has put M off somewhat. She is fiercely competitive and was holding her own and regularly beating her Daddy previously and I think she was a bit worried that she might not do so with the changes.
This Christmas we received (after suggesting it to friends who asked for ideas) The Game of Life Adventures edition. A while back we were given an old original set, which became something of an obsession for several months earlier in the year. K & M got pretty good at adding up in 1000s and it led to many conversations on all sorts of topics. The new version is probably a bit more fun and more strategic, but unfortunately in my opinion many of the talking points of the original have gone.
