This is the fourth major expansion for [[Base game|Carcassonne]] and introduces a new aspect to the game. With this expansion you can build high towers from which you can capture opposing players' meeples, and hold them for ransom or wait for a one-for-one exchange.

New features are:

== Contents ==  

* '''18 Land tiles''' with a tower foundation

* '''30 Tower floors''' (in one neutral color)

* '''1 Tile Tower''' as tile dispenser  

Do not disassemble the Tile Tower when storing the game. During the game, you may take your tiles from the top or the bottom of the tower. However, in order to avoid causing the tower and the tiles to fall, we recommend taking them from the top, especially when there are only a few tiles left in the tower.

=== New land tiles ===

The new Land tiles are played just like any other tile. Tower foundations are the only new element introduced on these tiles. There is also a special case, shown below.

== Rules ==  

Then, depending on the number of players, give each player the corresponding

Players place these in their supply (with their meeples). Return any unused tower floors to the box.

* You may place one of your meeples on the just-placed tile (following the normal rules).

'''3 new actions:'''

</ref> This reach goes beyond empty spaces on the board and over all towers. There can be any number of floors in an open tower.
