Proving first-hand that the game has potentially the strongest staying power amongst all of its rivals. While the artwork and the general theme may be quaint and friendly, it is you, the player, who can turn that image around and become rather militant in your tile placing antics!

Nebel über Carcassonne includes 45 meeples in two new types and 60 tiles that match the graphics of the 2021 edition of Carcassonne, and this game includes rules for how to incorporate material in a regular competitive game of Carcassonne.Level 2 requires you to earn even more points and forces you to consider placing mist around castles for a few extra points. At the end of the game, each completed city that a farmer is connected to scores three victory points. On top of that, each tile has been remade with UV spot printing, mini details, easter eggs and celebrating townsfolk to commemorate 20 years of Carcassonne. If they have laid four or five tiles and you just laid one or two tiles to share the score you come out on top here as you haven’t used as many turns to achieve that score. If you can successfully block in an opponents meeple so that they cannot score it, making it trapped, you have instantly knocked out 20% of their scoring potential which is big!

There should be little analysis paralysis when playing, so downtime is only due to the calm pace allowing for conversation.Each player adds to the same growing map, and only one meeple can be added to any section of the landscape at one time. In the 20 th Anniversary Edition, there is yet another modular expansion, and a new double sized starting tile that allows the river expansion (included) to be split into two directions. This gives you a selection of tiles that you have to start with, each is a section of a river that spreads the map out nicely at the start. A player can go for quick points by completing roads, cities, and cloisters or go for a more long-term strategy with farmers. If you are even remotely aware of the existence of Carcassonne, then you will be aware of the sheer multitude of modular expansions that are available.

It’s legal to place a meeple on your tile when you place it, providing it’s not encroaching on a pre-claimed feature. Carcassonne is a tile-placement game in which the players must draw and place a tile with a piece of southern French landscape on it. Meeples placed on fields become farmers, and remain on the field until the end of the game when they score depending on how many cities touch the field. All in all, it is a simple little expansion that is easily learned and used or can simply be removed if wanted. If you already own the previous base version of the game, then hey, why not combine them into one mega city builder?The only rule is that you cannot place two corners of the river back-to-back so it flows in a u-bend. Once the last tile gets placed, there’s some end-game scoring, and the player with the most points wins!
