About the game
What you do in a play session
You know that feeling when you've explored every nook and cranny of Carcassonne, but you feel like you need a little extra 'spice' to shake up the table? Well, the 'Spiel Doch!' expansion is exactly here to provide that upgrade, but with a twist: it's not something you'll just find on any standard store shelf. This kit is a little treasure that came straight from a special 2018 edition of the German magazine SPIEL DOCH!
So, what's in the box? You get two brand-new tiles featuring updated artwork that matches the most recent printings of the game. One depicts a donkey stable, and the other a garden for the Abbot. It might seem like a tiny addition, right? But don't let that fool you! The real magic lies in the gameplay variant these tiles introduce.
It's all about a quick challenge of order and timing: if you're the clever player who manages to place these two specific tiles in the correct sequence during the game, you immediately score a five-point bonus! It's exactly the kind of detail that keeps everyone on their toes, even for veteran players. It's a super fast and fun way to inject a bit of unpredictability and a dash of extra competition into your next city-building session. If you're a collector or a die-hard Carcassonne fan who loves testing new dynamics without having to study a 50-page rulebook, this little promotional gem is going to go straight to your heart (and your game board)!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base game to use this?
Absolutely! Without the original Carcassonne, these tiles won't have any use.
Is it hard to find?
Yes, since it's a promotional item from a German magazine, it's considered a collector's item.
How much time does it add to the game?
Hardly any! The bonus point variant is instant and doesn't increase playtime.
How many players can play?
The same number of players as your base Carcassonne game (usually 2 to 5).
Is the scoring rule complicated?
Not at all! Just place the two new tiles in the correct order and hope it's you.
Are the pieces good quality?
Yes, they follow the art and quality standards of the most recent game printings.
