When we first started gaming, one of our first purchases was Carcassonne, but we almost always play the base game or one of the stand-alones. But this year we finally got through ALL the expansions. So here are my thoughts!
Base game: This is such a great, simple game. You can teach it in 5 minutes and everyone loves its. Only issue is that it takes a lot space.
Inns & Cathedrals: There is very little here. It is to throw in if you want a few extra tiles and things going on.
Traders & Builders: I love the builder. You can really run the board if you use him right. I think this is a cool expansion if you want a little harder game.
Bridges, Castles & Bazaars: This is neat as it allows to put roads where there are none, but is gets complex fast.
Abbey & Mayor: The abbey is cool as it allows you to fill a hole, but honestly this is just so much complexity the games doesn't need.
Princess & Dragon: We HATE this one. It is so punishing and it makes the games SO MUCH longer. We will probably never use this expansion again.
So the gist here - I like the first I listed. I would use them again. We might never do the others. The next two are okay, I would play them. I'm not sure I'd ever play that last one unless I had to for some reason.
