Description

"Carcassonne: Hero at the Crossroads & Baba Yaga" is a two-tile semi-unofficial expansion introducing Russian folklore elements with unique scoring mechanics. Key mechanics include: - *Bogatyr tile* Features a hero at a crossroads with inscribed text presenting a folkloric dilemma, but no special rules. - *Izbushka tile* Functions as an anti-cloister, scoring 1 point for the tile plus 1 point per adjacent empty space, up to a maximum of 8 points. Carcassonne: Hero at the Crossroads & Baba Yaga is a two-tile semi-unofficial expansion for Carcassonne, produced by Russian publisher Hobby World and distributed to participants of the 2013 Russian national Carcassonne league. The Bogatyr tile depicts a Russian folk hero at a crossroads, accompanied by text on a stone outlining a perilous choice: death to the left, loss of horse to the right, or survival straight ahead at the cost of forgetting one's identity—though it imposes no special gameplay rules. The Izbushka tile portrays the witch Baba Yaga's small hut and introduces a distinctive scoring mechanism akin to an anti-cloister, granting 1 point for the tile itself and an additional 1 point for each empty space surrounding it, potentially totaling up to 8 points.
