THE CASTLE
Originally released by Hans im Glück in 2003, Carcassonne: The Castle is an exciting tile-laying game for 2 players, ages 8 and up. Designed by Reiner Knizia it is based on the Carcassonne game system from Klaus Jürgen Wrede.
"The imposing silhouette of the city of Carcassonne sits like a throne in the light of the setting sun. Knights guard the towers, the squires live in houses, merchants loudly tout their wares, and the heralds carry the news throughout the city. Over all this bustle, the high castle looms behind its impenetrable walls."
Contents
- 1 castle wall in 10 pieces which the players put together like a puzzle before each game
- 60 castle tiles
- 18 wall tiles (two of each tile pictured)
- 14 followers in 2 colours, and 2 keeps in 2 colours
The goal
Turn by turn, the players place castle tiles within the castle walls. Thereby, they create paths, towers, houses, and courts, on which they place their followers in order to score points. Players score points during, and at the end of, the game. The player with the most points at the end is the winner!
