My First Carcassonne
Carcassonne for four-year-olds: finish a street, place your followers, skip the scoring.
What it is
Kids lay 36 large tiles to build a medieval town, where children on the streets are chasing animals. When a street closes, every player whose color is on it places followers on the board. The first to place all eight wins, and nobody counts points. It suits four-year-olds who are ready to take turns and parents who want Carcassonne in the house early.
What we love
- No score counting, so a child who cannot add yet can still see who is ahead.
- Finishing a street can help other players too, which keeps things friendly.
- Big tiles suit small hands.
Honest trade-offs
- Tile draws decide most of it, so older kids will want the full Carcassonne.
- Publishers say about 30 minutes, while shops list 10 to 20. Small attention spans may set the real limit.
