New Carcassonne strategic tile laying medieval board game.
Carcassonne is a popular, easy-to-learn tile-laying game for 2–5 players (ages 7+) where participants build a medieval French landscape, placing "meeples" as knights, robbers, monks, or farmers to score points on completed cities, roads & cloisters. The game, often won by strategic placement rather than luck, ends when all tiles are placed.
Objective: Accumulate the most points by completing features (cities, roads, monasteries) with your followers (meeples). Turn Structure: On your turn, draw a landscape tile, place it adjacent to existing tiles (matching sides), & optionally place a meeple on that tile to claim a feature. Scoring: Cities (Knights): 2 points per tile + 2 points per coat of arms. Roads (Robbers): 1 point per tile. Monasteries (Monks): 1 point per surrounding tile (9 total). Fields (Farmers): 3 points for each completed city bordering the field, scored at the end. Game End: The game concludes when all 72 tiles are placed.
