originally released by Hans im Glück in 2000
A clever tile-laying game for 2 to 6 players aged 8 and above by Klaus-Jürgen Wrede
The city of Carcassonne in southern France is famous for its unique Roman and Medieval fortifications. The players take their chances with their followers in the cities, cloisters, farms and on the roads around Carcassonne. The development of the land is in their hands, and the skillful deployment of the followers as thieves, knights, monks and farmers is the path to success.
Contents
- 72 land tiles (including one with a dark reverse) which depict road, city and field segments, as well as cloisters and crossings.[1]
| reverse of the starting tile | a cloister | city segments |
| farm segments | road segments | crossing |
Each follower can be deployed as a knight, monk, thief or farmer. One follower of each color is used as a scoring marker.
- One scoreboard. This is used to track players' scores
- One rule booklet and one supplement.
Rules
Overview
The players place the land tiles turn by turn. This leads to the growth of roads, cities, cloisters and farms, to which the players may deploy their followers in order to earn points. As points can be won during the game as well as at the end, the winner will only emerge during the final scoring.

The RGG edition of the Big Box 1, which includes The River, adds the following sentence here:
“The 12 river tiles are NOT part of the basic game but do have the same back as the starting tile.”

Question: Too few followers—are we playing wrong or are there really too few? Answer: In our view there are not too few. A certain shortage of followers is entirely intentional. An important element of the game is precisely learning to be economical with one's followers.
Follower shortage - ↑
As far as the Big Box is concerned, the sixth set of (gray) followers is a part of the basic game, not Inns and Cathedrals. Additionally, Big Box 5 adds purple and pink followers for up to 8 players.
