Carcassonne with river expansion
A clever tile-laying game. The southern French city of Carcassonne is famous for its unique Roman and Medieval fortifications. The players develop the area around Carcassonne and deploy their followers on the roads, in the cities, in the cloisters, and in the fields. The skill of the players to develop the area will determine who is victorious.
Special rules for the 12 river tiles:
Remove the special starting tile from the game. Instead, begin the game by
laying the spring that starts the river. Set aside the lake tile and schuffle
the remaining 10 river tiles face down and draw from these before drawing from
the tiles from the normal game. These tiles ae played and followers may be
played as in the normal game with one exception: a river tile may not be placed
so that the river makes a "U" turn. Followers may not be placed on
rivers. Once these 10 river tiles have been played, the next player plays the
lake and then play continues with the normal tiles.
