The tile might feature a city, a road, a cloister, grassland or some combination thereof, and it must be placed adjacent to tiles that have already been played, in such a way that cities are connected to cities, roads to roads, etcetera. Having placed a tile, the player can then decide to place one of their meeples on one of the areas on it: on the city as a knight, on the road as a robber, on a cloister as a monk, or on the grass as a farmer. When that area is complete, that meeple scores points for its owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDuring a game of\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCarcassonne\u003c\/em\u003e, players are faced with decisions like: \"Is it really worth putting my last meeple there?\" or \"Should I use this tile to expand my city, or should I place it near my opponent instead, giving him a hard time to complete their project and score points?\" Since players place only one tile and have the option to place one meeple on it, turns proceed quickly even if it is a game full of options and possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e~~~~\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe game of the year from 2001 and 11 expansions are combined in this new \u003cstrong\u003eCarcassonne BigBox\u003c\/strong\u003e - the perfect starter set for Carcassonne fans and anyone who wants to get to know the best-selling game in all its diversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNow with a new cardboard inlay.
