About Geek & Sundry:
Geek & Sundry is an internet community centered around producing entertaining web videos, primarily on YouTube, that focus on comics, games, books, hobbies & more. Their goal is to connect their audience together through common interests both online and in real life.
About Carcassonne:
Carcassonne is a tile-placement game in which the players draw and place a tile with a piece of southern French landscape on it. The tile might feature a city, a road, a cloister, grassland or some combination thereof, and it must be placed adjacent to tiles that have already been played, in such a way that cities are connected to cities, roads to roads, etcetera. Having placed a tile, the player can then decide to place one of his meeples on one of the areas on it: on the city as a knight, on the road as a robber, on a cloister as a monk, or on the grass as a farmer. When that area is complete, that meeple scores points for its owner.
