About the game

What you do in a play session

Spring has sprung in Catcassonne, bringing with it a burst of color and life! This minor expansion for the classic Carcassonne adds 12 new landscape tiles celebrating the season of flowers. By mixing these tiles with your base game, you'll expand the map and introduce new ways to score. The focus here is on gardens and spring areas: when you place a tile adjacent (vertically or diagonally) to one of these new landscapes, you gain extra points. Each garden will yield 3 points, while each adjacent spring tile is worth 1 point. But the fun doesn't stop there! Each of the four seasonal expansions (including this spring one) comes with a unique statue tile. If you manage to place a new base game tile so that it's vertically or diagonally next to one of these statues, magic happens: you can place two meeples on adjacent tiles, but in different areas. It's a great way to maximize your scoring opportunities and control more of the board. This expansion fits perfectly with the artwork of Carcassonne's 3rd edition, maintaining the visual identity you already know and love. It's a quick and charming addition that brings a breath of fresh air to your games without overcomplicating the rules. Ideal for those who want to add a special, seasonal touch to Carcassonne without adding too much complexity.
