Description Edit | History

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.

Part of the Carcassonne series.

1 Printable Sheet for 1" Carcassonne Dice
By request, here is a single printable sheet including 72 tiles to make your own Carcassonne Dice as in the picture below: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/681019/carcassonne You'll need 1 sheet of sticker paper, a printer, 12 one-inch wooden cubes, and a guillotine paper cutter (for best results). The tiles on the Carcassonne dice that I made match up around each cube except for one. I did not map out which tiles I put on each cube. Think of it as 12 six-piece puzzles, or just stick them on in any order that you'd like. I have no official rules to play with dice, so you may use them however you'd like. Generally, though, I roll them and try to match them up in a 3x4 grid and then I add together points for all the finished roads and cities. I count the tiles on the side...

3 Carcassonne reference tile
Tile sized double-sided reference card. You can glue onto both sides of a piece of cardboard. Handy for new players, travel versions, or for those of you with older instruction manuals and confused how the scoring goes these days. The scoring is the latest I gathered from the 2008 rulebook from riograndegames.com and wikipedia. Please make any suggestions or corrections.

6 Reference Sheet & Turn Overview (includes all expansions)
This includes a Reference Sheet with a quick description of what everything is in the game and its expansions. There's also a Turn Overview which shows you everything that you can do on a single turn, and it tells you which expansion each option comes from.

4 The White Horse. A Tiny Expansion
There are 2 points for each of the White Horse segments. If in the amazing chance you get all 6, there is 20pts.

3 UFO Tiles
Just a bit of fun to add to your tile collection.

2 Fan-made Expansion: Upper Carcassonne
This fan-made expansion includes 6 new tiles that features staircases on the city pieces. These stairs have the ability to increase or decrease the value of a when it gets scored. See rules for details (also included in zip file).
2010-04-11
2 Fan-made Expansion: Barriers & City Walls
This expansion adds 12 new tiles for you to print out and add to the game. 6 tiles feature barriers, which are similar to the Abbey tiles from the Abbey & Mayor expansion. These barriers may be played against any tile feature (city, field or road). The other 6 tiles include city walls which can only be placed against cities. The city walls help to close off cities, but when you're scoring the city, you may not include the tile that only has a city wall on it.
2010-04-11
2 Fan-made Expansion: The Architect
In this fan-made expansion, each player gets a new piece called the architect (the Builder from Traders & Builders may also be used). There are also files included to make double sided tiles. If you have an architect on the board, the he allows you to play with either side of the double sided tiles, otherwise you must use the side labeled as #1.

2 Additional Tuckboxes (german)

4 All the other tiles... rearranged version for A4 printing
notsewkram gave me permission to upload this rearranged version of his files. These tiles have no overprint and are arranged as efficiently as possible on the A4 page to reduce page-count. You need a printer that is capable of printing with a margin of only 0,55cm around to keep the sizes of the tiles correct.
