PLAYED FOR YOU
CARCASSONNE
JUBILÄUMSAUSGABE
10 years age Carcassonne was published and was awarded „Game of the Year“ in Germany. On occasion of this jubilee a special Anniversary Edition has been published, which does not only celebrate the game, but with its shape also the playing pieces, whose shape the box has been given. Those pieces have become the symbol for all playing pieces and are the origin of the word meeple for a placing piece.
In the meeple-shaped box you find the complete components for the basic game and play according to the well-known standard rules: In turn you place landscape tiles, adjacent borders of tiles must have identical features. So, tile by tile, a network of towns, roads, meadows and abbeys if formed. Seven followers are placed on newly placed tiles, but only in one of the types of landscape on the tile on one where – seen from the new tile – no other follower is present, they score points when the landscape is finished. Meadows are scored at the end of the game. The winner is the player with the highest score.
As an Anniversary gift his edition contains DAS FEST, a mini expansion. This expansion features 10 tiles, especially marked with a festival symbol. These cards can be placed just as any standard tile and then you can decide if you place a follower on it or if you take back any follower already somewhere in the display back into stock. Of course you can decide to do nothing of both. If you use DAS FEST with the 4th expansion, THE TOWER, you cannot free a prisoner in that way.
Congratulations to THE placement game which has become the yardstick for all placement games.
