Carcassonne

So 3 years ago (I think), when Magdalena came to visit with her family, they brought us this really neat game, Carcassonne. Magdalena's family played it with Bekah a few times. And the good mommy that I am kept the game close by so we could play it often. So, yesterday we finally played it. Pathetic and sad I know. Magdalena I am sorry it took so long. BUT we all loved it. It is a fun strategy game. Bekah understood how to play, but to be honest, Isaac REALLY understood how to play. The object is to get all your pieces on the board and they way to do that is to close road.

If you notice Isaac has such a loving face on. That is because Bekah had a road to close all set up with 3 or 4 of her guys. Well, Isaac blocked it! Great for Isaac, not so great for Bekah. You will also notice Bekah's smiling face. That is because she is so forgiving and kind!

So why is this a homeschool post and not a family post. Because this was our school work!

July 14 is a national holiday in France (History). In Carcassonne, to celebrate, the people release the animals and spend the day collecting them (strategy and logic)! Great game!
