Carcassonne Expansion 1 Inns Cathedrals Game (Z Man Games) 2449

Carcassonne: South Seas

Carcassonne: south seas keeps the familiar tile-laying gameplay of the original carcassonne, with players adding a tile to the playing area each round and optionally placing a token on the tile to claim ownership of. Something. Instead of the familiar cities, roads and farms, however, players in carcassonne: south seas use their meeples to gather bananas, shellfish and fish, then ship those goods to traders in exchange for points.   carcassonne: south seas is the first game of a new series titled "carcassonne around the world".

Star Wars, Carcassonne

Carcassonne: star wars combines the exciting adventures of the star wars universe with the gameplay of carcassonne, with the known rules of the game being simplified through clever changes that bring an entirely new feel to the game. This is similar to carcassonne but with roads replaced with trading routes and claimed by merchants instead of robbers, cities replaced with asteroid fields and claimed by explorers instead of knights and cloisters replaced with planets and claimed by conquerers instead of monks. There is no farming equivalent. Faction symbols (empire, rebel alliance and bounty hunters) provide scoring bonuses regardless of what faction your meeples belong to. Majority control is determined by dice rolling with the highest result rather than the sum determining the winner, although tiebreaks and defeats still provide some points. A player receives dice equal to the number of his meeples involved in the majority control plus additional ones for using his large meeple and any matching faction symbols but this is always capped at three dice. One notable change is that planets can be conquered by placing tiles adjacent to the planet tile where the player now has the option of placing a meeple on the adjacent planet tile instead of on the tile he placed. There is also a four player team variant where it is the two empire colours (black/darth vader and white/storm troopers) versus the two rebel alliance colours (red/luke skywalker and green/yoda). Orange/boba fett is not used.

This game is a wonderful option for those who like simple and complex games alike. The game is for 2-5 players, and it is equally fun regardless the size of your group! the game comes with a base city/road beginner piece for simplicity, but this particular version also has the river and the abbot mini expansion pack. You can choose to play with or without the expansion. Game time is anywhere from 15-45 minutes depending on number of players and whether your group plays fast or likes conversation and enjoying a glass of wine or bowl of ice cream. . It's a great family game, too. The box suggests 7+ years old, but we had a 5 year old play along with us just fine, and it's his favorite game now (he is a quite strategic little fellow, though). The rules and game play are relatively easy to figure out, and any rules not clear in the directions (there aren't many) can either be cleared up by a quick web search or the game owner can choose their preference and claim "house rules". ; ). . Summary:. Lots of fun, can be simple or complicated, great for kids and adults alike, fast game play (no waiting for long turns to be completed), easy-to-learn/easy-to-follow rules, bright and beautiful colors, and no game is ever the same! never gets boring!

The carcassonne is a clever tile-laying game. The southern french city of carcassonne is famous for its unique roman and medieval fortifications. The players develop the area around carcassonne and deploy their followers on the roads, in the cities, in the cloisters, and in the fields. The skill of the players to develop the area will determine who is victorious. The game is for ages 8 and up and 2 to 5 players.

Since being introduced to this game by a friend, it's become my favorite board game. It's endlessly replayable, and once you get the hang of the strategy, it becomes very engaging and fun. Highly recommended. -Notice from W. Kristen, District of Columbia

This game is well made and great fun. The rules are clear and i like that they start off with a simple set of tiles and rules, then allow you to add more tiles and rules with the included mini-expansions. I would go so far as to say that for me personally, this is my favorite board game. I prefer it to settlers, scrabble, monopoly, risk etc. The game play is simple to teach but strategic so you can continue to replay it and enjoy the game. . This game includes tiles, a scoreboard and playing pieces ("meeples"). It includes a couple mini-expansions of "the river" and "the abbot". . I highly recommend using the river from the second or third time you play. It adds some nice tiles to begin with, and by building out in a more or less straight line allows you to build a much more open board for players to build off of once the "real" game starts. The only reason i suggest using the regular tiles first is just to get a feel of how different and more open it is with the river. . We play with the abbot as well and that adds another level of strategy. . I find that playing two players is a bit of an intense game because every turn you know that whatever you play you are setting the table for the next player. It is fun and about half the games i played have been 2 player games. The scoreboard and "looping" around the board can be a bit of a problem with 2 players but not a big deal. . We are going to try the house rule of holding 3 tiles and see if that adds to the strategy, but it is a lot of fun with the rules as-is. . I have since purchased carcassonne 1 - inns and cathedrals and carcassonne 2 - traders and builders (2015), but i've only used i&c once. Honestly the base game + the river + abbot is great fun by itself and i'm not sure for most people i would recommend anything past that unless you have a regular group of gamers you play with. . Base game + river (and not playing with farmers) is easy enough to teach people as they are playing the game and since each tile is flipped one at a time and there is nothing "hidden" in your hand it's easy to play and walk through the turns together.

- S. LynetteThis game has great re-play value since the board is different every time, and if you ditch the box (in favor of, say, a bag), this is a great game to take traveling, even back-packing because you can play on any decent-sized flat surface (like a coffee table). Also, because the game is purely about shapes, patterns and images, this is a great game for international (i. E. Multi-language) play, because it is not language-specific. As long as one person can explain the rules, the actual game play is language independent.

Got this newer version as a christmas gift. I have an older one, and it is a fantastic game for 2 people. Was a bit wary of a "new" one, but this appears to be just the same, aside from some new art on the cards.
