The southern French city of Carcassonne (yes it's a real place!) was founded on an important trade route between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. Because of its strategic location, the city was often conquered and has known many rulers. As a result of this varied history, the city is famous for its unique mixture of Roman and Medieval fortifications.

game play
On each turn, players develop the area around Carcassonne by placing land tiles and adding roads, fields, cities and cloisters. Followers (meeples) may be deploy ed as thieves, farmers, knights, and monks to control and score points for the roads, farms, cities, and cloisters. As the players have only a few followers, the wise player will plan his moves carefully and deploy followers when and where he can earn the most points. Carcassonne is a simple clever tile laying game that brings new challenges with every turn; it's also a great game for 2 players!
