Comments on: Kauai http://www.sparkledesign.net/fidget/2009/09/08/kauai/ so many projects, so little time.

Both are fun. Carcassonne is simpler, you just place tiles to build the landscape and strategically place your "men" to earn points in different amounts depending on what shows on the nearby tiles. The game in the other picture, not shown close-up, is Acquire, and it's a stock trading game. It's actually more similar to Settlers in the sense that you buy and sell, trade, and establish property on the board. It's also a really fun game.
