About the game
Ever felt like you've mastered every single inch of Carcassonne? Well, the Carcassonne Maps series is here to reset your perception and take the game to an epic scale! With the Iberian Peninsula, we aren't just placing tiles on a standard cardboard board; we are constructing an entire region atop a massive A1-sized map, featuring a premium linen-embossed paper finish that adds an incredible touch of class to your table.

What actually changes here? Beyond the striking visuals, the scoring dynamics gain new and very interesting layers. You won't just be closing cities and roads as usual. Now, the challenge involves broader strategies, such as aiming to dominate major urban centers or even connecting your road networks to the neighboring countries bordering the Peninsula. It's a way to bring a geographic and strategic freshness that standard small-box expansions sometimes miss.

You'll use your usual meeples and tiles, but the playing field is entirely different. The map is robust, made with high-quality linen-embossed paper, ensuring the experience is both tactile and visually stunning. It's the kind of upgrade that turns a quick break-time game into a tabletop event worth documenting. If you are a die-hard Carcassonne fan feeling that the game needs more room to breathe and new goals to pursue, the Iberian Peninsula is the upgrade your collection has been craving. Clear some space on your table, because the map is huge and the strategic possibilities are even bigger!
