Product Description:

Introduces trade goods, builders, and pigs to the original Carcassonne game: players acquire trade goods (which are scored by majority at game end) by completing cities with good markers; strategically-placed builders allow a player to take a second turn; and pigs allow farmers to score extra points for adjacent cities.

Publisher Description:

Build faster than ever and score even more points with this Carcassonne expansion.Traders & Builders expands on the popular Carcassonne base game, adding new features and opening even more ways to outwit your opponents. With the new builder follower, you can speed up construction by placing another tile immediately after you add a Land tile to a road or city that your builder occupies. Further, the pig followers and Goods tokens give you more ways to score points. The pig enhances the value of any farmers you have in the same field, while completing cities with Goods icons on them awards Goods tokens; the player with the most gains bonus points at the end of the game.Along with new followers and Goods tokens, Traders & Builders adds even more variety to the base game. Twenty-four Land tiles feature new landscape elements that alter the way some basic features operate. Some roads now feature bridges that do not count as junctions, potentially extending a road even farther. Finally, Traders & Builders makes storing and drawing Land tiles even easier with the included linen bag. Entirely redesigned and modernized, Traders & Builders gives you everything you need to return to the world of Carcassonne.This product is an expansion: Carcassonne base game required to 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.

This is our favorite expansion for Carcassonne. The builder adds extra turns and the pennants add extra points to the end of the game. There are additional field tiles to increase the length of the game.

Excellent expansion
Traders and Builders is an excellent expansion to the basic Carcassonne game. It adds some small elements of strategy that might add to scores, along with some elements of "luck of the draw," while keeping the basics of play that make the original game so much fun.
