Outposts (fan expansion for Carcassonne)

Description

--- <TLDR> In Carcassonne, outposts with guards protect countryside followers from destructive dragons via sacrificial mechanics. </TLDR> Key mechanics include: - *Outpost deployment* Nobles garrison guards in outposts to safeguard rural areas from dragon threats. - *Dragon protection* Outposts shield deployed followers from dragon attacks. - *Follower sacrifice* Players sacrifice an outpost follower as a guard to save other followers targeted for consumption by the dragon. Tales of dragons terrorizing the countryside persist through time, with recent sightings indicating escalated destruction beyond livestock. Carcassonne's nobles station guards at scattered outposts to defend inhabitants. Mechanically, outposts protect followers from dragon depredations; players may sacrifice a follower positioned on an outpost, designating it as a guard, to spare other followers fated to be devoured by the dragon. ---
