The bundle contains Markets of Leipzig, German Monasteries, German Cathedrals, and Tollkeepers, each adding fresh scoring and interaction mechanics while keeping the game’s approachable feel. Markets of Leipzig lets you place meeples in bustling markets that award extra points each round, with the order of placement affecting who gains the most advantage. German Monasteries introduce the iconic German cloisters, scoring based on the number of surrounding tiles and rewarding the player who controls the majority in the area. German Cathedrals bring large monuments that require meeples to be placed in various parts of the map, creating a more intense territorial control dynamic. Finally, Tollkeepers let you position your meeples as toll collectors on roads, collecting fees whenever an opponent crosses your stretch, adding a “toll” mechanic reminiscent of classic “tax” games. All you need is the base Carcassonne game. The Mini‑Bundle adds no extra components beyond the tiles and meeples of the four expansions, which slot right into the original set. Playtime is roughly 30‑45 minutes per game with 2‑4 players, and the difficulty stays in the “easy‑to‑moderate” range, making it perfect for families and friends who want variety without complexity. ## FAQ ### How many players can play? 2 to 4 players. ### How long does a game last?
