Description

--- "The River II (Der Fluss II)" is a mini-expansion for Carcassonne, adding 12 river tiles compatible with key expansions, placed first for seamless integration into standard gameplay. Key mechanics include: - *River tile addition* Introduces twelve specialized river tiles designed for compatibility with Inns & Cathedrals, Traders & Builders, and The Princess & the Dragon. - *Initial placement* River tiles are laid out at the game's start, after which play continues normally. - *Expansion bundling* Contained within Carcassonne: Expansion 6 – Count, King & Robber. - *Series integration* Part of the Carcassonne series, specifically expanding the base Carcassonne game. The River II (Der Fluss II) serves as a mini-expansion to Carcassonne, incorporating twelve river-themed tiles that distinguish it from the original River expansion through deliberate design for synergy with the first three major expansions: Inns & Cathedrals, Traders & Builders, and The Princess & the Dragon. Packaged within Carcassonne: Expansion 6 – Count, King & Robber, it mandates placing these river tiles first to establish the board's river feature, seamlessly transitioning into standard Carcassonne gameplay thereafter, enhancing the core series experience. ---
