We play, at last!

Our history begins during Christmas holidays in 2003, when Mario buys a copy of Carcassonne, as he wants a "clever" boardgame as gift for his little brother.
At home, Mario opens the box, reads the rules, and immediately goes to another shop. He buys Scotland Yard for his brother and keeps Carcassonne for himself.

Now, he has to find an adversary to play this game, and so he ask Matteo to try the game. From now on, they will be involved in a gaming illness, and they start meeting and playing once a week.
