About Carcassonne USA
This group is for Carcassonne base-game players who are from (or currently live in) the US, and particularly those interested in participating in individual and team Carcassonne Tournaments.
In addition to creating an active pool of potential players for the US Carcassonne Team, we also want to promote interest in playing competitive Carcassonne duels (2-player games without expansions). Most of our group communication and activity occurs on our Discord server, so contact Mingo, arop, zacbell, or anyone else in this group if you want to join or learn more!
Background:
We originated as the US Team participating in the first World Team Carcassonne Online Championship (WTCOC) in 2020, and we've expanded by recruiting additional players for friendly matches against Brazil, Japan_TRAPS, Chile, and Guatemala. We won 2nd Place in the 2021 Copa America de Carcassonne tournament in 2021. In 2021 we also organized the US National Carcassonne Championship (held online, here on BGA due to Covid) that determines who represents the United States in the World Carcassonne Championship that is held annually in Essen, Germany. There is a strong chance we will be organizing the championship again this year.
WTCOC - The World Team Carcassonne Online Championship is now officially recognized by Hans Im Glück and Spielezentrum!!! In 2022 "Team USA" made it to the quarterfinals, and came in 5th out of 25 National teams! More information about this tournament can be found here:
