Carcassonne The Tower Expansion #4

Fourth major expansion for Carcassonne.

The Tower adds a vertical element to Carcassonne, adding new tiles and tower pieces.

• Eighteen tiles with tower foundations, which allow a player to add a tower section and capture nearby followers.
• Tower pieces to build with.
• A cardboard tile tower for easy tile storage, also acting as a mechanism from which tiles are drawn.

Tower segments are added to the game, as well as some new actions. Instead of placing a Meeple as usual on their turns, players can now either place a tower segment on a tile with a space for a tower, add a tower segment to a tower already standing, or place a Meeple on top of a tower (which "finishes" it).

Placing a tower segment allows you to capture other players' Meeples, so long as they are in view of the tower in an orthogonal direction. If the tower is 1 piece high, they can capture Meeples that are within 1 tile of the tower; if the tower is 2 pieces high, they can capture Meeples within 2 tiles of the tower; etc. Not only do players lose whatever they may have scored with that Meeple, but they also have to pay 3 victory points if they want to free their Meeple.

Players: 2-6

Ages: 8+
