Introduction
Originally released by Hans im Glück in 2005, Carcassonne: The Discovery is a tile-laying game for 2 to 5 players, ages 10 and above.
The Discovery 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, but moves it from mediaeval France to a land far away - a land of meadows, mountains and seas. Unlike Carcassonne, it is the size of the region in which the follower is located that brings points - regardless of whether the region has been closed or not, although closed off regions score considerably more points. The decision of when to remove a follower from a region is left to the player - but since regions can become more valuable as the game develops, deciding the right time can make for an agonizing decision. There's also an additional rule that lets mountainous regions increase in value, even if they've already been completed.
Designer: Leo Colovini
WICA Notes
The following are based on the Rio Grande Games version of the rules. Additional comments and clarifications have come from various Carcassonne discussion forums (BGG, CarcC and CarcF).
Rules
Fan Expansions
- There is only one known fan expansion, and it was never brought to completion. Die Seeschlange is adapted around the dragon (from The Princess and the Dragon) and was inspired by Scotland's Loch Ness monster. It can be found on the German-speaking CarcassonneForum
- 50/100 Scoring Tiles are available to download from CarcassonneCentral
