Carcassonne

Carcassonne board game

Carcassonne is a tile-placement game in which the players draw and place a tile with a piece of southern French landscape on it. The tile might feature a city, a road, a cloister, grassland or some combination thereof, and it must be placed adjacent to tiles that have already been played, in such a way that cities are connected to cities, roads to roads, etc.

Having placed a tile, the player can then decide to place one of his meeples (wooden people tokens) on one of the areas on it: on the city as a knight, on the road as a robber, on a cloister as a monk, or on the grass as a farmer. When that area is complete, meeple score points for their owner.

This new edition includes a free expansion — The River — 12 tiles that are laid at the start of the game that can dramatically change tile placement for the rest of the game.

For 2 to 5 players, aged 8 years and up. 30-60 minutes playing time.
