Description
Carcassonne: Dragon & Fairy is an expansion for Carcassonne. It adds 30 new land tiles and two wooden figures: a dragon that devours followers and a fairy that protects them. Volcanoes, princesses and magic portals appear in the landscape, making the game less predictable and more competitive.
How to play
You place tiles just as in the base game. When you place a tile with a volcano, the dragon appears there. When someone places a tile with the dragon symbol, the players take turns moving the dragon up to six tiles, and it eats every follower it passes. The princess lets you remove one knight from a city you are extending, while the magic portal lets you place a follower on any previously placed tile.
If you don't place a follower on your turn, you can move the fairy next to one of your own. The fairy protects it from the dragon, earns you a point at the start of your turn and three extra points when its feature is scored.
Why you'll love it
- The dragon, moved by all the players, creates tense and funny moments.
- The fairy is valuable protection, so everyone fights over it.
- The princess and the magic portal give you new ways to take over a city or strengthen your position.
- You can combine the expansion with other Carcassonne expansions.
Who is this expansion for
It plays with two to six players, and a game takes about 60 minutes. It is fairly easy to learn, and players like it best with three or four. It suits everyone who already knows Carcassonne and wants more confrontation.
What might you not like?
The dragon and the princess can take away followers an opponent spent a long time placing. It may not be the best fit for those who prefer peaceful building without conflict.
