Introduction
Originally released by Hans im Glück in 2004, Carcassonne: The City is an exciting tile-laying game for 2 to 4 players, ages 8 and up.
"The impressive city of Carcassonne was a magnet for tourists from all lands even in the Middle Ages. Its large markets, grandiose homes, and busy streets made the whole city a popular attraction. Here is your chance to build the city of Carcassonne! Players build walls and towers, found markets, and place followers in the normal way."
The City is based on Carcassonne, but is not compatible with Carcassonne or any of the other Carcassonne spin-off games.
The game uses many of the standard Carcassonne game concepts. Players create the old town by laying tiles. As the town grows, the walls are built around it, starting from a single wooden gate. The wall is created from wooden pieces forming a 3d version of the medieval town at the end of the game. Each player also receives several cylindrical wooden towers (how many depends on the number of players), giving the town walls added impact.
