Description

--- "Der Fluss (The River)" is a mini-expansion for Carcassonne that introduces 12 river tiles with familiar landscape elements, placed first while maintaining standard rules and scoring. Key mechanics include: - *River tile addition* Adds twelve river tiles featuring all familiar landscape elements. - *Initial placement* River tiles are placed first, followed by normal gameplay. - *Follower restriction* No followers may be placed on river tiles. - *Unchanged scoring* Scoring remains identical to the basic Carcassonne game. Der Fluss (The River) serves as a mini-expansion within the Carcassonne series, incorporating twelve specialized river tiles that include all the standard landscape elements present in the base game. These tiles are laid out at the beginning of play, after which the game proceeds exactly as in the core ruleset. A key limitation is that no followers can be deployed on the river tiles themselves, ensuring that scoring mechanics align precisely with those of the basic Carcassonne game without alterations. ---
