Carcassonne: The Plague

Description

--- **Carcassonne: The Plague** introduces player-controlled pestilence to the tile-laying gameplay, allowing strategic spread across landscapes to eliminate opponents' followers. Key mechanics include: - *Plague spreading* Players direct pestilence across landscape tiles under their control. - *Follower removal* Plague carries off any followers located on affected tiles. - *Series integration* Functions as part of the core Carcassonne tile-placement system. Carcassonne: The Plague, a mini-expansion first released simultaneously in German and English editions of Spielbox magazine issue 2010/6, integrates pestilence mechanics into the Carcassonne series. Players wield control over the spread of plague across the game's landscape tiles, strategically positioning it to capture and remove opponents' followers—representing unfortunate inhabitants—thereby disrupting rival scoring opportunities and altering the competitive tile-placement dynamics. ---
