Description

--- <TLDR> "Carcassonne: Burgen in Deutschland" is a mini-expansion for Carcassonne featuring six double-sized castle tiles that enhance scoring for cloisters, cities, and roads. </TLDR> Key mechanics include: - *Tile distribution* Each player starts with one castle tile (4-6 players) or two (2-3 players). - *Castle placement* Players may place a castle tile instead of a regular tile, ensuring edge matching; a follower can be deployed anywhere on it. - *Cloister scoring* A follower in the main castle scores 12 points when fully surrounded, akin to a cloister. - *Bonus points* Completing a city or road that includes part of any castle tile awards 3 extra points to that feature, regardless of the tile's placer. Carcassonne: Burgen in Deutschland is a mini-expansion for the Carcassonne series, providing six double-sized tiles depicting German castles. At setup, players receive one tile with 4-6 participants or two with 2-3. During play, a player may substitute a castle tile for their regular hand tile, adhering to standard matching rules, and immediately place a follower on any part of it. A follower positioned in the main castle area scores 12 points upon complete surrounding, functioning like a cloister. Additionally, any city or road completion incorporating a castle tile segment grants 3 bonus points to that structure, irrespective of who placed the tile. ---
