{{DottedFrameMessage|text=''During the 11th and 12th centuries, a new religion called Catharism developed in southern France. The Roman Church decreed that this religion was heretical. By the beginning of the 13th century Carcassonne had become a stronghold of the Cathar religion. After unheeded warnings and the murder of a church legate, Pope Innocent III initiated a crusade against the Cathars. The besieging of Carcassonne in 1209 marked the start of 40 years of continuous war.'' | |||

'''The Cathars''' expansion of 4 tiles was initially released in ''Spielbox'' in {{Year|2004}}, and because of its rarity, it has become one of the most sought-after Carcassonne expansions. Copyright prevented The Cathars from being reprinted by anyone except Spielbox, so [[Rio Grande Games|Rio Grande Games]] developed '''Siege''' to be able to publish tiles with the same function. The four tiles in Siege have the same functional layout as the tiles in The Cathars, but the artwork is entirely new. Thus, Siege is effectively a reprint of The Cathars with updated artwork. The rules for Siege are also almost identical to those for The Cathars; the only difference involves escape from a besieged city (see rules below). | |||

Ultimately, Hans im Glück recognized the popularity of The Cathars and published '''The Besiegers''' in 2013 to allow players to be able to obtain this element of Carcassonne again. The rules are identical to those of The Cathars, but the geography of the Besiegers tiles and the tile artwork are all new. Interestingly, the 2014 version of the Besiegers rules includes the note: “This mini-expansion appears in the 2004 Spielbox magazine under the name 'The Cathars’ (with only 4 tiles).” This seems to indicate that this expansion is considered a reprint rather than a new expansion, even though the tile features are different between the two sets. | Ultimately, Hans im Glück recognized the popularity of The Cathars and published '''The Besiegers''' in {{Year|2013}} to allow players to be able to obtain this element of Carcassonne again.

<ref> | <ref>{{IconArrow}} Note that in '''The Besiegers''' and '''The Cathars''', a cloister must be placed '''directly adjacent to a Besieger/Cathars tile''' to allow a knight to escape. However, [[Rio_Grande_Games|'''RGG's''']] rules for '''Siege''' state that a cloister allowing escape can be placed adjacent to '''any tile of a besieged city''' (even diagonally). For the sake of consistency, at the beginning of the game it would be useful to select only one of these rules when combining tiles from these sets. Purists can choose the Besiegers/Cathars rule, as it’s the German original, although the [[Rio_Grande_Games|'''RGG''']] Siege rule makes escape much more viable.</ref> | ||
