CARCASSONNE

In their move players place landscape tiles, thereby constructing a network of cities, roads, meadows and monasteries. Each player controls 7 men, that can be placed to collect points as knights or robbers, farmers or monks on the tiles. Men in a city are more valuable than in a village, but a knight only collects points for a finished city. Sometimes it is better to take men back and relocate them to earn more points. The only drawback is that one has always too few men to use them to full advantage. Game of the Year 2001.
