About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey everyone! To celebrate a decade of pure tile-placement fun, the classic Carcassonne got a special edition in 2011 that's all about showing off: the Carcassonne Jubiläumsedition! The box itself is a showstopper, with a giant blue meeple shape that will make your game shelf weep with envy. But it's not just the packaging that shines. Inside this giant meeple, you'll find the base game that conquered the world, a super charming meeple-shaped score tracker, and translucent, colorful meeples that add a special touch to your meeple placements. And to top off the celebration, this edition also includes the 'The Festival' mini-expansion, adding 10 new tiles with unique rules that promise to spice up your games. If you're already a Carcassonne fan, this is your chance to own a version that's a true collector's item. If you're new to the game, get ready to build medieval landscapes, compete for majorities in cities and roads, and feel the thrill of each tile placed. It's the Carcassonne you love, with an extra touch of exclusivity and charm. Perfect for those who enjoy light strategy, cool visuals, and that pinch of luck when drawing the right tiles. Let's build this kingdom!
