=== Carcassonne Solo Variant === <!--T:158-->
 
<!--T:159-->
[[File:Solo_Variant_C2_Image.png|300px|frameless|right]]
Promotional variant based on the base game released in April {{Year|2020}} during the "Stay at Home" campaign. [[Hans im Glück]] published downloadable rules (in German and in English) for a one-player collaborative variant where the player (or a team) has to score the maximum number of points possible.
 
<!--T:160-->
It follows the usual rules of the base game with some modifications:
* It uses 3 sets of meeples only (4 meeples each in 3 colors), and optional one abbot in another color as turn tracker.
* Scoring meeples on the scoreboard are placed initially in specific spaces.
* A stack with one third of the tiles is assigned to each color.
* Meeples must placed whenever there is an unoccupied feature (except fields).
* Only the meeple(s) with the least number of points can score a completed feature.
* The game ends when the player cannot place more tiles or cannot place a meeple in a turn (ran out of meeples in one color).
* The final scoring is based on the number of meeples placed on the board.

=== 20th Anniversary Edition === <!--T:239-->


<!--T:138-->
<!--T:240-->
With '''Carcassonne Maps''', [[Hans_im_Glück|HiG]] offer a new possibility to play Carcassonne. It is designed for the New Edition.
[[File:20th_Anniversary_Edition_Box.png|200px|frameless|right]]


<!--T:149-->
<!--T:241-->
You can use your tiles and meeples in a country, build cities with real names and influence the course of important roads. There are also new ways to score points, for example by scoring a large city or by connecting roads to neighboring countries.
[[Hans im Glück]] released the '''20th Anniversary Edition''' of the game in {{Year|2021}}. It comes with the base game, but upgraded with a high gloss, UV spot print on all the tiles and the blue and golden box to truly make the details shine, while the tiles themselves are upgraded with brand new illustrations and decorated with characters. This edition brings 20 new tiles, including a 20th Anniversary expansion with 15 tiles and a new river with 5 more tiles than other rivers and a double-sized tile river source. This edition includes normal meeples and abbots for 5 players, and meeple stickers to personalize the meeples.  


<!--T:139-->
<!--T:244-->
The map consists of high-quality, strong, linen-embossed paper and has the size A1. The map is delivered rolled up and the purchaser is recommended to flatten it by "bending against" before use or to press it flat again under a few books. Alternatively, it can also be attached to the table with a removable adhesive tape (crepe, for example). The latter also has the advantage that it is not moved accidentally.
This edition has [[Visual Changes in the 2nd Edition#Cities with clipped buildings|cities with clipped buildings]].


<!--T:140-->
<!--T:242-->
The map requires players to use their own game material from the base game and some major expansions, so it is not a standalone product but a complement to play a variant of the base game with extra tiles.

[[File:Carcassonne_Maps_C2_Map_Chips_Banner.png|right|Carcassonne Map-Chips]] Additionally, [[Hans_im_Glück|HiG]] released '''Map-Chips''', an expansion for '''Carcassonne Maps'''. '''Map-Chips''', using the same tokens, provide an expansion with a different set of rules for each map. In France players will press wine, whereas Benelux players may pick face-up tiles stacked on islands. On the Iberian Peninsula, players go geocaching; on the British Isles, players might play twice as fast; and, in Germany, players have the possibility to upgrade their meeples.

In {{Year|2011}}, prior to the release of [[Winter Edition Base Game|Winter Carcassonne]], this was made available for download, for personal "print and play", from the [[Hans im Glück]] web site. The intent was for the files to be printed onto stickers and then stuck to regular Carcassonne tiles. Style-wise it was based on the First Edition artwork, with a covering of snow. This edition contained the standard set of 72 tiles and standard rules. Once '''Winter Carcassonne''' was released in {{Year|2012}}, the download version was withdrawn.

Carcassonne Solo Variant

Solo Variant C2 Image.png

Promotional variant based on the base game released in April 2020 during the "Stay at Home" campaign. Hans im Glück published downloadable rules (in German and in English) for a one-player collaborative variant where the player (or a team) has to score the maximum number of points possible.

It follows the usual rules of the base game with some modifications:

  • It uses 3 sets of meeples only (4 meeples each in 3 colors), and optional one abbot in another color as turn tracker.
  • Scoring meeples on the scoreboard are placed initially in specific spaces.
  • A stack with one third of the tiles is assigned to each color.
  • Meeples must placed whenever there is an unoccupied feature (except fields).
  • Only the meeple(s) with the least number of points can score a completed feature.
  • The game ends when the player cannot place more tiles or cannot place a meeple in a turn (ran out of meeples in one color).
  • The final scoring is based on the number of meeples placed on the board.

See the rules here


Carcassonne Print-and-Play Demo

PnP Demo C2 Rules Cover.png

Print-and-play game version of Carcassonne released in April 2020 during the "Stay at Home" campaign. Hans im Glück published downloadable rules in German and in English (the latter provided by ZMG).

The game is for two to five players and includes 48 smaller tiles and a scoreboard to be printed and cut. Players have also to provide their colored pieces to serve as meeples: 5 for the game and 1 optional for the scoreboard, if used. All base game rules apply, except farmers.
