Carcassonne: The Signposts

If you've already mastered the art of spreading your followers across the kingdom of Carcassonne and feel like it's missing that extra spice, the "The Signposts" expansion has arrived to give your roads a new direction! With 12 new tiles, this little gem mixes perfectly with the base game, bringing a touch of navigation to your routes.

Each new tile comes with road segments and, coolest of all, two of three possible signposts: left turn, right turn, or straight. The magic happens when scoring roads: if a road with a signpost is completed, you check the adjacent tile. If the path on this new tile matches what the signpost indicates (like, the signpost says turn right, and the road on the next tile also goes right), the signpost scores! And there's more: the more types of signposts you score on the same road, the more valuable they become. Scoring one type is worth 1 point per signpost, two types are worth 2 points, and if you manage all three types on a single road... well, that's a party, worth 3 points each! To add that final touch, at the end of the game, signposts on unfinished roads that still point in the correct direction are worth 1 point each. It's a small expansion, but it adds a very interesting strategic layer without overcomplicating the gameplay we already love. Perfect for those who want to level up their Carcassonne games without having to learn a bunch of new rules.
