The imposing silhouette of Carcassonne sits like a throne in the light
of the setting sun. The city also acts as a fortress, protecting those
who live there with its impenetrable walls. Visit the city to discover
its many features and to learn why it is so magnificent.
Carcassonne: the Castle is an exciting tile-laying competition between two players. Inside the castle walls, the city grows as the players place tiles and their followers: knights to guard the towers, heralds to spread the news, and merchants to sell their wares in the markets. The player who makes better use of his followers will lead the race around the castle wall, which is also the scoring track for the game. There are several items waiting on the castle wall for the first player to reach them. Each will prove useful to the player who acquires them.
Contents:
1 castle wall, 60 castle tiles, 18 wall tiles, 14 followers, 2 keeps, rule booklet. Box size approximatley 27 x 17 x 7 cm.
