Carcassonne (2015 New edition)

Description

Carcassonne is a game where 2-5 players aged 8 years and over will discover the town of Carcassonne. Following set rules players will build the landscape and earn points by placing down tiles. Think tactically as players are limited to just seven meeples each so place them carefully to be in for the chance of winning!
