The luck factor in Carcassonne is over-rated IMO. Really good players will usually win. They understand what kind if tiles are left in the bag, and how to snooker opponents. Sometimes, a lucky draw at the end of the game will swing the game, but that's okay with me.

To add more chaos, expansions like Dragon & Princess, The Tower, and Mayor & Abbey, increase the randomness.

Certainly one of my favorite games. Even visited Carcassonne on my last trip to France.
