The southern French city of Carcassonne was founded on an important trade route between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. Because of its strategic location, the city was often conquered and has known many rulers. As a result of this varied history, the city is famous fo its unique mixture of Roman and Medieval fortifications.
Possibly one of the best games ever made. Carcassone is a clever tile laying game, set in the southern French city of Carcassonne. The players develop the area around Carcassonne and deploy their followers on the roads as thieves, in the cities as knights, in the cloisters as monks, and in the fields as farmers. Players score points when roads, cities and cloisters are complete and score points at the end of game for farms, incomplete roads, cities and cloisters.
Carcassonne is a simple, clever, tile laying game in which the board is different every time you play bringing new challenges with every turn. It is a great game to play with only two (2) players, but can be played with up to five (5) in the base game (expansion sets add an additional player).
