In the 8th expansion, Castles & Bridges, for the award-winning family game Carcassonne (Game of the Year 2001), bridges enhance your roads. They are flexible to use and make your roads indispensable. Maidens in small towns recruit knights, while farmers work in barns to score points independently of the cities. This version gives the classic a fresh look: all Carcassonne expansions shine with modern artwork and graphics. The cover illustrations of all 10 expansions together create a stunning panorama. The tiles have also been beautified but remain in the familiar design, ensuring compatibility with existing games and expansions. Additionally, the rules have been made clearer. Each expansion features small to significant content changes – and a different collectible river tile. The base game of Carcassonne is required to play.
