## Description

From the manufacturer Inspired by the medieval fortress city of the same name, Carcassonne is a modern classic tile-laying game with easy-to-learn rules and endless strategy. Players take turns drawing and placing tiles to lay out the landscape of Carcassonne, placing meeples on the map as the medieval countryside grows. Score points throughout the game by claiming and completing various features, including roads, cities, fields, and monasteries. Place your tiles and meeples in clever ways to outscore your opponents. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins! The latest edition of Carcassonne includes 84 tiles that can be configured into countless combinations, including tiles from the original base game and The River and The Abbot expansions. With endless configurations of tiles, Carcassonne is infinitely replayable. Players can also add expansions with additional rules, new features, and different tiles to customize each game!

Review: An excellent board game, a modern classic tile laying game - Having got back into board games this year, years after last being into them when our son was young, we've been buying some of the classics that have come about since then. This one is popular and routinely highly recommended. It's a game based around laying tiles to build a continuous connecting landscape and playing your "meeple" playing pieces to claim terrain features and score points. This comes in a nicely designed box with very solid components, made of of cardboard tiles and wooden "meeple" and feels like real quality. It feels like very good value for money. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, with good examples to get you started. We found ourselves getting out heads around it very quickly. It's a very enjoyable game, engaging yet very relaxing. The design is clever, simple yet with a decent amount of complexity within. This has become one of our most popular games, played between myself and my wife and with friends. We love it, this is one I'd recommend to anybody looking to collect modern classic board games.
Review: A great modern classic! - An extremely easy game to pick up and learn the rules for. It's also very easy and quick to teach to other players. The game is simply to take a tile, place it down in a position where the artwork aligns, and place a meeple if you want to, provided you can. You can't place a meeple into a feature already occupied, but you can sneak more meeples into a feature but merging two existing incomplete features together - a fun bit of strategy that allows you to share or steal points from your opponent! The game stops when there are simply no more tiles to draw from, so it has a natural finishing point, and at that point, any remaining scoring is done. The game quality of the tiles feels really nice; however, a few of mine are misprinted, so the paths don't quite line up, unfortunately, but it's still clear which features are supposed to line up. There's many expansions for Carcassonne, and I will considering picking some up! Would recommend!

## Features

- STRATEGY GAME - PLAN YOUR WAY TO VICTORY: Develop the landscape of a medieval fortress city one tile at a time. Whether blocking a city's growth or connecting with your opponent’s road to share the points, Carcassonne provides plenty of ways to use your cunning and outsmart your opponents
- ONE STEP AT A TIME TILE-PLACEMENT GAME: Players fill in the countryside around the medieval fortified city, choosing from tiles that depict cities, roads, monasteries, and fields; each new tile creates an ever-expanding board on which players can then add their followers
- JACK OF ALL TRADES: Followers can take many different roles (knights, monks, farmers, or thieves) determined by the type of tile on which they're placed. Each role scores points differently, so you'll need careful planning to make the best use of your followers
- HOW TO ACHIEVE VICTORY: Players score points by having followers on tiles as features are completed. The player who makes the most strategic placements of tiles and followers will score the most points and win the game
- HIGH REPLAYABILITY: With its simple yet rich game mechanics and eighty-four tiles that can be configured into numerous combinations, Carcassonne appeals to beginners and veteran gamers alike. LOOKING FOR NEW ADVENTURES? Try our many expansions (Note: Expansions require Carcassonne Base Game to play). Average Playtime: 45 minutes
