Piatnik Carcassonne

Carcassonne by Piatnik is a tile-laying strategy game for 2 to 5 players aged 7 and up. Players take turns placing landscape tiles, building roads, meadows, cities and monasteries as the playing area grows during the game. The aim is to make clever use of the terrain of southern France and score points as you go.

The game transports you to the Middle Ages and is built around freedom of choice, since there is no fixed board. Each decision about where to place the next tile reshapes the landscape and opens new ways to overtake opponents or secure your own routes.

With a playing time of about 30 to 45 minutes, Carcassonne suits both experienced strategists and newcomers. The simple basic rules make it easy to learn, while the many combinations keep every game fresh.
