Introduction

Originally released by Hans im Glück in 2009, Carcassonne: Junior is a tile-laying game for 2 to 4 players, ages 4 and up. It is called My First Carcassonne in English, with the original English version by Rio Grande Games called The Kids of Carcassonne. A second edition was released in 2020.

Carcassonne Junior is based on Carcassonne, but is not compatible with Carcassonne or any of the other Carcassonne spin-off games. It introduces children to the fun of building the city of Carcassonne. It maintains the same core game design that makes the original Carcassonne a classic, while eliminating the need to count high scores. Place the tiles and as many of your pawns as you can. The streets will echo with laughter as animals are caught and returned home safely!

"The city of Carcassonne is celebrating its national holiday. As is the tradition, people mark the occasion by setting the city’s sheep, hens, and cows loose in the streets. From dawn till dusk, the children of Carcassonne have the time of their lives trying to bring these animals back home. With My First Carcassonne, players of all ages can experience a new version of the modern classic. Each turn, you place a tile to build the Medieval city of Carcassonne. As the game progresses, the children of Carcassonne fill the streets trying to catch animals. Whenever you close a street with one or more children marked with your chosen color, you get to put pawns on the board. The first player to place all their pawns wins the game!"
