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 for its unique mixture of Roman and Medieval fortifications.
The players develop the area around
Carcassonne by placing land tiles. Each turn the area becomes larger as the players expand and add roads, fields, cities,
and cloisters. The players may also deploy their followers as thieves, farmers, knights, and monks to control and score points
for the roads, farms, cities, and cloisters. As the players have only a few followers, the wise player will plan his moves
carefully and deploy followers when and where he can earn the most points.
Carcassonne is a simple, clever tile laying
game that brings new challenges with every turn.
