Dragon Hunters (fan expansion for Carcassonne)

Description

--- This expansion adds dragon-slaying siege weapons and farm animals, enhancing gameplay during hard times when dragons are blamed for ills. (18 words) Key mechanics include: - *Siege weapon tiles* Introduces ballistas, catapults, and trebuchets, placed via shuffled supply integration. - *Animal assets* Adds black boars, white sheep, and brown cows; each player starts with one sheep and one cow, plus a black boar/pig if using Forests expansion. - *Setup prerequisites* Requires P&D expansions; tiles shuffled into the supply for play. In times of plenty, dragons are dismissed as myths, but during hardships, they are scapegoated for woes, prompting construction of massive dragon-slaying machines like ballistas, catapults, and trebuchets in the countryside for future bragging rights. This expansion integrates such tiles alongside black boars, white sheep, and brown cows into the game. Rough rules stipulate each player receives one sheep and one cow at start, with an additional black boar/pig if the Forests expansion is in play; it mandates P&D expansions and shuffles the new tiles into the supply. ---
