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.
