OK - I'm officially an addict of this game. I was only introduced to it 3 weeks ago and already it's taking up a large space Basically you're building roads, cities and farms to score points based on drawing tiles and placing your followers to claim them before they're completed.
Here's a quick demo of how it plays - taken from a Youtube channel fronted by Wil Wheaton (didn't he used to be that annoying little shite in ST:TNG?) - sorry it's in American and they can't say Carcassonne to save their collective lives - but it takes you through a game which lasts about 40 minutes usually (so not too long and boring for the younger viewers or those older with ADHD )
You can even play for free on any device that runs Java - http://jcloisterzone.com/en/ - or on your Android/Apple device (apps cost there though)
Bought mine from Germany (in German, but the rules are readily downloadable in English) - and recently taken delivery of a number of expansions.
A bit like traditional shaving, there's a schism in the Carcassonne world - in 2014 they changed the artwork of the tiles and there are those who prefer the old, won't ever consider the new, etc. (Mechanically the old & new play together but looks awful). All the usual stuff about hard to find expansions etc.
