Description

--- "Carcassonne Apothecaries" expansion introduces apothecaries, enabling players to brew concoctions that boost their own realms or sabotage opponents' domains. Key mechanics include: - *Apothecary placement* Adds new tiles or features for apothecaries in the Carcassonne world. - *Concoction preparation* Players create potions to enhance their own realm's development. - *Sabotage mechanics* Use concoctions to hinder or destroy enemies' realms. - *Strategic realm management* Balances improvement and disruption for competitive advantage. This Carcassonne expansion integrates apothecaries into the game's world, allowing players to prepare specialized concoctions. These potions serve dual purposes: improving one's own realm through beneficial effects or undermining rivals by destroying elements of their domains. The mechanic introduces tactical depth, encouraging players to weigh offensive sabotage against defensive enhancements in the tile-laying competition. ---
