Board Game Carcassonne

A new stylish version with two additions

Here is a new edition of the popular game «Carcassonne». This version boasts a new, more stylish design and a revised, verified rulebook.

The set includes two small additions - «River» and «Abbot»:

• In the «River» addition, participants begin to build a board from river tiles.
• «Abbot» from the eponymous addition gives points during the game when he returns from an unfinished monastery or garden.

Due to its versatility, the game will appeal to both beginners and experienced players. It is both a gateway and a serious logic game. The game can be played with family and have a nice time with loved ones. Or you can play hardcore, counting tiles and thinking through actions several moves ahead. The game is also quite suitable for tournaments.

What is the secret of Carcassonne? After all, the gameplay seems to be impossibly simple - a random tile-land is taken from the pile, a place is found on the field for it in order to correctly assemble the puzzle, connecting roads, fields and city walls. However, the real magic begins next.

Placement of Meeple Workers

The word "meeple" came from "Carcassonne". The game pieces looked very much like little men. One day someone saw them and exclaimed: "Meeple", meaning "my people". This is how the neologism "meeple" arose. Since then, wooden worker pieces in Euro games have been called "meeple". At the beginning of the game, the player receives 7 such pieces. The participants take turns. On their turn, the player takes a random square from the pile and places it on the field. The player can immediately place a man from his reserve on it. Depending on the location, the subject becomes:

• city - a knight;
• road - a robber;
• monastery - a monk;
• field - a peasant.

Getting victory points

If the object is completed and there are meeples on it, the owner returns his subjects to the reserve and receives victory points:

• having completed the road (limiting it with city walls, a monastery or a crossroads), the owner of the robber receives as many points as the length of the road;
• having completed the city, the owner of the knight receives 2 victory points for each square of the city;
• having completed the monastery (completely surrounded by squares), the player receives 9 victory points for the monk.

Unlike other subjects, the Miply-peasants lie on the fields until the end of the game. They bring victory points when the final counting begins. If the player has the largest number of peasants on the field, he receives 3 victory points for each completed city bordering the field.

Exciting logical game

The game develops analytical and logical thinking, planning skills and thinking through actions in advance. At the same time, the game has simple rules that even a child or a beginner who has never played anything but "Monopoly" will understand. The game is exciting and educational at the same time. We guarantee that you will spend time not only pleasantly, but also usefully.
