Description
Gives each player the opportunity to build a “Tower" each turn instead of placing followers, which allows them to capture and hold other players' followers hostage.
Publisher's Description of Carcassonne: Tower Expansion #4
Build imposing structures that touch the sky in this Carcassonne expansion.
In The Tower, thefocus is on buildingup,not out. This expansion for the classic Carcassonne tile-laying gameadds eighteen Land tiles, plus thirty tower floors that you can use to construct towers to spot your opponents' followers. Gain new actions as your towers grow taller or deny your opponents these actions by placing a follower on top of a tower to finish it. If your tower grows tall enough, disrupt other players' plans by capturing their followers and holding them for ransom!
The Tower gives players a direct, strategic method of interacting with other players. When placing a tile depicting a foundation, the player can place a tower floor on that tile or on any open tower on the board. The player can then capture any other player'sfollower on the boardthat is visible from the tower. Captured followers are only returned by paying three victory points or "exchanging" prisoners with someone holding one of your followers. The Tower also makes it easier to keep your play area in order. The Tile Tower accessory organizes your tiles from the base game and expansions, making everything easy to access as you play.
Category Description for Carcassonne
Revisit the medieval city of Carcassonne, France in this land development game. Players attempt to strategically place a randomly drawn land tile in such a way as to fashion a city, road, cloister or field. Each player has 7 followers that can act as knight, thief, monk, or farmer, depending on their placement. Larger roads and cities score more points when completed, and multiple players can share in the scoring of a multi-tile completed project. This is definitely a thinking game and will take playing a few times to get the strategy down. Games take about 45 minutes. 2-5 players.
