Who it's for

Players who like tense timing decisions and the push-your-luck of letting a pile grow.

Not for you if…

You specifically want the tile-laying map-building of the original, which this leaves behind.

Vibe's take

A lean, nervy timing game of letting rows fatten while dreading someone grabs the big one first.

About this game

Carcassonne reimagined as a card game. Instead of laying land tiles, you build up rows of matching cards and time exactly when to send your single meeple in to claim a row for points. Wait too long and a rival swoops in first, wait too little and you leave value on the table.

One meeple makes every claim a commitmentWait for value or get beaten to itCarcassonne flavor in card form
