Carcassonne für 2

Bestseller for two

By now, Carcassonne has developed into a long-term evergreen game; this edition for two players has been packed in a classy tin, sturdy and practical.

For this small-scale edition, the board including the scoring track has been eliminated and you have only six meeples. The rule of the game is the same:

The starting tile with a backside of varying color is laid out to start the display; the remaining 47 landscape tiles are shuffled face-down and stacked in several piles. Then the two players alternate turns; you draw a landscape tile from one of the stacks and add it to the display, bordering at least one other tile in the display. All landscape features on the edges of the new and the adjacent tile(s) must correspond . meadows, roads or cities. When the tike has been placed, you can then place one of your meeples as a highwayman, knight or monk onto a corresponding, available landscape feature of the new tile - road, city or monastery.

Finally, you resolve all scorings that might have been triggered by the placement of the tile. When the new tile has completed a landscape - a road ends, a city is completed, or a monastery is completely surrounded by meadows - you score the corresponding points and take back your meeple on the completed landscape. Farmers a a variant in this edition and are not used in the standard game; but for them, the familiar rules apply, too, and the meadows are scored at the end. When all tiles have been placed, you win with most points.

Proven, good, works well, plays a bit quicker, but essential this is Carcassonne as we know it, ideal suited to taking along.
