About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey Carcassonne fans! If you're a dedicated player who loves a new tile to spice up your games, the Carcassonne: Ukraine Promo Tile is a real gem. Released by HiG in 2022, this promotional tile was a super limited edition, initially available at the Essen fair and later with some units sold on the CundCo online store. The coolest part is that all proceeds from the sales went to the NGO Come Back Alive, supporting a very important cause.
But let's get to the good stuff: how do you use this beauty? The great news is that it's super versatile and doesn't come with complicated rules, so you can simply add it to your normal tile stack and play it like any other. But the fun doesn't stop there! For those who own the first expansion, 'Inns & Cathedrals,' this tile can function as an inn, adding another strategic option for your meeples. And if you're into mini-expansions, it can also be integrated into 'Mini 7 - The Crop Circles.'
The tile's artwork is a showstopper, featuring a white building by a lake, representing a traditional Ukrainian house. It's a thematic touch that, in addition to being a game component, brings a piece of Ukrainian culture to your table. It's a small expansion that, despite its simplicity, carries a nice meaning and offers flexibility for more creative players. Perfect for collectors and anyone who wants to add a special and supportive touch to their Carcassonne sessions!
