About this game

Lay tiles to build medieval France — cities, roads, farms, and monasteries grow across the table as you place your meeples to claim them. Carcassonne is the tile-placement game that taught the world what meeples are, and it remains effortlessly fun twenty-five years later. A genuine masterpiece of accessible design.
