About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're a Carcassonne fan or looking to dive into this medieval landscape-building universe, the Big Box 4 is your complete passport! This souped-up edition brings not only the base game, already a classic tile-placement experience, but also a bunch of expansions to make things even more interesting. Imagine this: you'll build the map of southern France, connecting cities, roads, and cloisters, and you can even place your meeples to act as knights, robbers, monks, or farmers. Every tile you place can earn you points, but only if you complete the area!
The Big Box 4 comes with the main game and a cool selection of expansions that can be mixed and matched however you like. It includes the first two major expansions, 'Inns & Cathedrals' and 'Traders & Builders', plus six mini-expansions full of surprises: 'The Flying Machines', 'The Messengers', 'The Ferries', 'The Gold Mines', 'Mage & Witch', and 'The Robbers'. And to top it off, it also includes the special tiles from 'Corn Circles II' (or 'Crop Circles II'), adding an extra strategic touch. The neat thing is that each expansion has an icon for easy identification and combination, so you can craft the experience you want. Oh, and a small detail: the goods tokens in this edition are slightly larger than those in the standalone 'Traders & Builders' expansion. It's guaranteed fun for new and veteran players, with rules that fit together perfectly and endless replayability.
