Carcassonne: The Phantom

Description

"Carcassonne: The Phantom" is an expansion for the Carcassonne series introducing transparent phantoms as versatile additional followers. Key mechanics include: - *Dual placement* Players may place their colored phantom alongside a regular follower on the same tile, but on different features. - *Retention after scoring* When retrieving the phantom from scoring, players keep it for use in later turns. - *Standalone use* The phantom can be placed independently and always functions as a regular follower. - *Player assignment* Each player receives a phantom matching their color (purple for gray player); set includes 6 transparent phantoms in 6 colors. Carcassonne: The Phantom expansion for the Carcassonne series provides 6 transparent phantoms in 6 colors, with the purple one assigned to the gray player. Core rules allow each player to use their phantom as an additional follower: it can accompany a regular follower on the same tile (occupying distinct features), be placed solo (counting fully as a standard follower), or be retained after scoring for future turns rather than returning to the supply. Packaged in 36-expansion boxes featuring 6 different colored transparent meeple-shaped designs, it launches in German in March 2011 and worldwide in April.
