Carcassonne: Winter Edition

Carcassonne: Winter Edition is the familiar tile-laying game under a blanket of snow. The 2012 version plays exactly like the base game: you draw a tile, lay it next to the others and place a follower on a city, a road or a field to score as the map grows. Knights still patrol the walled cities, farmers still try to feed the nation, and highwaymen even travel on roads behind the city walls. You get the 72 original tiles plus twelve new basic tiles with winter art. The Z-Man edition's first print included the Gingerbread Man expansion, and the 2020 German reprint from Hans im Glück includes The River. Two to five players, about forty minutes, best with two.
