Product Description
The game is based on the southern French city of Carcassonne, an important trade route between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. The players develop the area around Carcassonne by placing land tiles.
Each turn the area becomes larger as the players expand the map and add roads, fields, cities and cloisters. The players may also deploy their meeples as thieves, farmers, knights, and monks to control and score points for the roads, farms, cities and cloisters.
