TheInns & Cathedralsexpansion adds more ways to shape the Medieval countryside in theaward-winning tile-laying gameCarcassonne. EighteenLand tiles feature two new buildings that open additional avenues to scoring points. Construct imposing cathedrals that increase your cities' value, or build humble inns along your roads to double the value of your thieves. But be careful! An incomplete feature that uses an inn or cathedral scores no points at the end of the game.
Clever follower placement is a hallmark ofCarcassonne, andInns & Cathedralsadds another layer to this with the large meeple follower type. Worth two normal followers, large meeples help you secure features and keep their points to yourself.On top of new gameplay twists,Inns & Cathedralsincludes components for a sixth player to join in the fun, and Points tiles to help everyone keep score. If you complete a lap of the scoreboard, take a Points tile worth fifty points. If you make it around again, flip your Points tile to the side worth 100 points. At the end of the game, simply add this amountto the total of your meeple on the scoring track.
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.
