Carcassonne

Carcassonne is a classic title and a great appetiser for an evening of gaming. Through the use of tile laying, players develop the area around the French city of Carcassonne.

$42.00

In Carcassonne players must strategically place their tile pieces and then deploy their workers to roads, cities, cloisters and to farmland. Once workers are deployed, the players then try to complete their cities, roads and cloisters through further tile placement, in order to gain the most victory points, and ultimately win the game.

Carcassonne is one of the most popular games of recent years, and has won a plethora of awards. Several expansions have been released to keep the experience fresh, some of which are available from SeriouslyBoard.co.nz.

If you haven’t yet experienced Carcassone, don’t delay – this is an absolute must-buy for anyone serious about board games.
