His games are known for their simplicity and drama as this quote from Board Game Geek illustrates: ""Carcasonne: The Discovery" is also the simplest and most vanilla of the "Carcassonne"s. (Of course, if you know anything about Leo Colovini, you'd expect that.) But, it also the most tense "Carcassonne". (And if you know Mr. Colovini, you also knew THAT!)"
