About this product

Incorporate humble inns and imposing cathedrals into your games with this Carcassonne expansion.

Sweat Equity

The Inns & Cathedrals expansion adds more ways to shape the Medieval countryside in the award-winning tile-laying game Carcassonne. Eighteen Land tiles feature two new 

buildings that open additional avenues to scoring points. Construct imposing cathedrals that increase your cities' value, or build humble inns along your roads to double the value of your thieves. But be careful! An incomplete feature that uses an inn or cathedral scores no points at the end of the game.

The Jolly Giant

Clever follower placement is a hallmark of Carcassonne, and Inns & Cathedrals adds another layer to this with the large meeple follower type. Worth two normal followers, large meeples help you secure features and keep their points to yourself. On top of new gameplay twists, Inns & Cathedrals includes components for a sixth player to join in the fun, and Points tiles to help everyone keep score. If you complete a lap of the scoreboard, take a Points tile worth fifty points. If you make it around again, flip your Points tile to the side worth 100 points. At the end of the game, simply add this amount to the total of your meeple on the scoring track.

About this product

Build faster than ever and score even more points with this Carcassonne expansion.

Build faster, score bigger

Traders & Builders expands on the popular Carcassonne base game, adding new features and opening even more ways to outwit your opponents. With the new builder follower, you can speed up construction by placing another tile immediately after you add a Land tile to a road or city that your builder occupies. Further, the pig followers and Goods tokens give you more ways to score points. The pig enhances the value of any farmers you have in the same field, while completing cities with Goods icons on them awards Goods tokens; the player with the most gains bonus points at the end of the game.

Even more variety

Along with new followers and Goods tokens, Traders & Builders adds even more variety to the base game. Twenty-four Land tiles feature new landscape elements that alter the way some basic features operate. Some roads now feature bridges that do not count as junctions, potentially extending a road even farther. Finally, Traders & Builders makes storing and drawing Land tiles even easier with the included linen bag. Entirely redesigned and modernised, Traders & Builders gives you everything you need to return to the world of Carcassonne.

About this product

Enter the world of fantasy and fairy tales with this Carcassonne expansion.

A storybook world.

Enter a realm of chivalry and sorcery with this Carcassonne expansion. The Princess sends knights out to perform acts of chivalry; meanwhile, a fearsome dragon threatens followers unprotected by the magic of the fairies! The Princess & The Dragon expansion introduces princesses, dragons, fairies, and other storybook elements that add surprising wrinkles to your Carcassonne game. You can use thirty new tiles to unleash a dragon that devours anyone in its path, summon a fairy to protect your followers, or remove rival knights from a city. No matter what tile you draw, you’ll have plenty of options to disrupt your opponents’ plans and claim more points for yourself.

Reshape the landscape.

With The Princess & The Dragon, players can affect followers like never before. Draw a Volcano and the dragon appears! This isn’t too bad on its own, but drawing a Dragon tile subsequently sends the dragon on a rampage across the countryside, devouring any followers in its path. Also, when the Princess tile is played, she can remove a knight from a city to open more scoring opportunities. Things aren’t all bad for followers, though. The fairy protects your followers from the dragon and scores you bonus points when your turn begins and when you score features. Furthermore, if you’re lucky enough to draw the Magic Portal, you can place a follower on any previously placed tile. By incorporating these dynamic new components into your game, The Princess & The Dragon is sure to shake up your Carcassonne experience!

About this product

Build imposing structures that touch the sky in this Carcassonne expansion.

Towering above the countryside

In The Tower, the focus is on building up, not out. This expansion for the classic Carcassonne tile-laying game adds eighteen Land tiles, plus thirty tower floors that you can use to construct towers to spot your opponents’ followers. Gain new actions as your towers grow taller or deny your opponents these actions by placing a follower on top of a tower to finish it. If your tower grows tall enough, disrupt other players’ plans by capturing their followers and holding them for ransom!

Prisoner exchange.

The Tower gives players a direct, strategic method of interacting with other players. When placing a tile depicting a foundation, the player can place a tower floor on that tile or on any open tower on the board. The player can then capture any other player's follower on the board that is visible from the tower. Captured followers are only returned by paying three victory points or “exchanging” prisoners with someone holding one of your followers. The Tower also makes it easier to keep your play area in order. The Tile Tower accessory organizes your tiles from the base game and expansions, making everything easy to access as you play.

About this product

New pieces offer tremendous strategic flexibility in this Carcassonne expansion.

Stake your claim

With a new tile type and three new pieces, the Abbey & Mayor expansion for Carcassonne gives players more options than ever. Abbey tiles act as monasteries, but you can use them to plug holes in the board by filling spaces surrounded by tiles. Mayors help you control cities by using coats of arms to determine their strength. Outside the city walls, Barns synergize with farmers to enhance the value of fields they occupy, while wagons can be placed like followers but then moved from one feature to the next after scoring. Such a variety of tiles and pieces creates numerous opportunities to employ cunning strategies that can outwit opponents.

Breaking new ground

Clever follower placement is a hallmark of Carcassonne. With the components in Abbey & Mayor, you can devise new ways to get the most out of each piece. A well-placed Mayor can override other players’ followers and even circumvent large meeples. Also, since the Mayor’s strength is equal to the number of coats of arms in their city, this increased strength also nets them the extra points those same coats of arms provide. You can also use wagons to swoop in and take over features before your opponents can get to them. While first placed like a normal follower, you can move a wagon immediately to an adjacent, uninhabited feature once the original placement is scored. Finally, Barns score any farmers in the field they’re placed in and bestow extra points at the end of the game. Played on their own with the base game or combined with other Carcassonne expansions, Abbey & Mayor provides plenty of new paths to victory.
