Not exact matches
To start the
game, each player
draws a certain number of
tiles, and then players take turns creating words on the board, building off existing words and earning points for each letter.
I realize in some
games this would not be possible since each person has their own cards that they need to keep hidden, but since in Carcassonne you just
draw a
tile at the beginning of your turn so there is nothing to keep hidden from the other player.
The
game starts with two «extra» rules, randomly
drawn from a set of
tiles.
This is one that works a lot on trial - and - error, but the
game does have a hint system in the form of a recommended
tile to start
drawing your line on.
