About the game
What you do in a play session
Straight from the German magazine SPIEL DOCH! (autumn/winter 2018 issue), come two little tiles that add extra flavor to the classic Carcassonne. One features a stable for our donkey friends, and the other a special garden for the Abbot. The trick here is that if you're clever and manage to place these two tiles in the correct order, you get an immediate five-point bonus! It's one of those small rules that add a tactical touch without overcomplicating the gameplay. In addition to these, the issue also includes two more tiles for the Carcassonne Safari expansion, featuring animals like an elephant, lion, zebra, and giraffe. If you already enjoy Carcassonne and want to add a bit of novelty without learning a ton of new rules, this mini-expansion is a good choice. It fits perfectly into your collection, maintaining the essence of the game we already know and love, but with that "something new" taste. It's the kind of addition that makes you look at the board and think: "Oops, where do these little pieces fit in?"

6 questions
Do I need the base game Carcassonne to use these tiles? expand_more
Yes, absolutely! These tiles are an expansion and require the base game Carcassonne to be played.
Does this expansion add many new rules? expand_more
No, the idea is precisely to keep it simple. It adds two tiles with a specific scoring rule (placing them in the correct order to gain 5 points) and two more tiles for the Safari expansion.
How many players can enjoy this mini-expansion? expand_more
It supports the same player count as the base game, which is for 2 to 5 players.
Where can I find these tiles? Only in the magazine? expand_more
Originally, they came as part of the 2/2018 issue of the German magazine SPIEL DOCH!. They might be a bit harder to find separately.
Does the game's complexity increase much with this? expand_more
Not at all! It's a very light addition, designed to add a little extra touch without changing the core Carcassonne experience.
Is it worth it for someone who doesn't collect every Carcassonne item? expand_more
If you enjoy Carcassonne and want a small novelty to change things up, it might be worth it. But if you don't feel the need to have all the mini-expansions, it's not essential.
