Description

Carcassonne: The Castle is a tile-placement game designed specifically for two players, where you'll compete to develop the city within the castle walls. The goal is to lead the race around the castle wall, which also serves as the scoring track, and collect bonus items along the way. Play is similar to the original Carcassonne, but with a twist - all tiles must be played within the walls, limiting your choices and adding a new level of strategy. As you place tiles and build structures, you'll use heralds, knights, squires, and merchants to score points. The player with the largest "keep" will also score points for the largest contiguous undeveloped area at the end of the game. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of just 30 to 45 minutes, Carcassonne: The Castle is a fun and engaging game that's perfect for a quick medieval-themed adventure.
