Merry Men (fan expansion for Carcassonne)

Description

--- Merry Men outlaws hide in Carcassonne forests, triggering brawling tournaments and forest completion bonuses via Woodsmen majorities. Key mechanics include: - *Brawling tournament* Conducted among players with majority Woodsmen in the forest containing the Merry Men Camp. - *Champion scoring* Tournament winner earns 2 points for each forest tile. - *Largest forest bonus* Player completing the largest Forest receives 1 point per completed forest at game end. In the forests surrounding Carcassonne, a band of outlaws embodying the Merry Men legend hides out, stealing from the rich and redistributing to the poor. A key feature is the brawling tournament, which occurs in forests featuring the Merry Men Camp; it is contested among players holding the majority of Woodsmen in that specific forest. The victorious Champion of the brawling receives 2 points for every forest tile. Additionally, at the game's conclusion, the player who completes the largest Forest gains 1 point for each completed forest overall, incentivizing strategic placement and control of Woodsmen and forest tiles to dominate these competitive elements. ---
