Carcassonne is a tile-based board game for 2 to 5 players. It's an award-winning classic strategy game in which the players build up medieval landscapes with roads, cities, abbeys and fields. The objective of the game is to gain points by placing tiles that represent different elements such as cities, roads and monasteries onto a grid representing the medieval landscape of Carcassonne. During their turn each player draws one tile from a pile of tiles and places it on any free space on the board. Depending on where they place them, different rules apply: if two city walls meet or if there’s already a road present when you place your own road piece, then you get additional points! As well as this basic premise Carcassonne has plenty of expansion packs available to purchase which add even more features such as dragons, princesses and magic portals into the mix - making it infinitely re-playable!
