Description
Carcassonne: Inns & Cathedrals is the first big expansion for Carcassonne. It adds 24 new tiles with lakeside inns and cathedrals, a large meeple for each player and pink figures that also let you play with six.
How to play
You place tiles just as in the base game. A completed road with an inn scores two points per tile instead of one, and a completed city with a cathedral scores three points per tile and coat of arms instead of two. But beware: if a road with an inn or a city with a cathedral is still unfinished at the end of the game, it scores no points at all.
The large meeple counts as two regular ones, so it makes it easier to take the majority in a city, on a road or in a field. The 50/100 scoring tiles help you keep track of high scores.
Why you will like it
- Inns and cathedrals bring big points – or nothing if you don't complete the city.
- The large meeple helps you take over a city your opponent started.
- The pink figures let you play with six.
- 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 moderately easy, and players like it best with two or three. It is a good first expansion for everyone who already owns Carcassonne.
What you might not like
Opponents can deliberately leave your city with a cathedral unfinished. It may not suit players who prefer calm building without risk.
