Base game |
Originally released by Hans im Glück in 2014. Carcassonne, the world-famous French city, is known for its imposing fortifications erected during Antiquity and the Middle Ages. This fortress, surrounded by magnificent walls, still stands today as one of the most unique French cities. In this game, players must develop the area around Carcassonne. They place their meeples onto roads and into cities, monasteries, and fields. Only those who make the most judicious placements will gain the points required to win the game. Copies printed in the period 2014-2016 have the darker city backgrounds. |
Carcassonne is a tile-based German-style board game for two to five players, designed by Klaus-Jürgen Wrede. It was originally released, in Germany, by Hans im Glück in 2000 for its first edition and in 2014 for this second edition. The English edition was released by Z-Man Games. Carcassonne received the Spiel des Jahres and the Deutscher Spiele Preis awards in 2001.

The Farmers |
Originally released by Hans im Glück in 2014. Farmers are considered a part of the base game for most Carcassonne players. They are also used in every official tournament as they are not considered an expansion. In the new edition of Carcassonne farmers were separated as a supplement to ease approach to the game for new players. WikiCarpedia follows this streamlined approach. For the sake of other expansions and the rest of the WikiCarpedia, farmers are considered a part of the base game. What would life be without agriculture? We try to answer part of this question by introducing the hard-working farmers who spend long hours in the fields of Carcassonne. As we did for the roads, cities, and monasteries, the farmers will be presented using the actions of a game turn. |

The Abbot |
The Abbot was originally released by Hans im Glück in 2014. It introduces the abbot meeple and garden features. [1] Along with The River, The Abbot is considered part of the basic game that can be used as desired. [2] It implements a mechanic that is unique to the new edition of Carcassonne, diverging in this aspect from the 1st edition. With its introduction in 2014, tiles featuring gardens became available in the new design Base Game which included The River. Later, they appeared on tiles in the major expansions as they were re-released in the new artwork, and in Big Box 6 when it was released in 2017. [3] Bear in mind that The Abbot provides a new mechanic involving the abbot meeple, but the tiles it affects are not part of the expansion itself. Garden tiles that have been included in the base game and in expansions are listed for information in the tile distribution below. Finally, it must be noted that the (new) abbot in this expansion is not the same as the (old) abbot used on German, Dutch and Belgian Monasteries, and Monasteries. The new abbot is a specialized meeple for monasteries and gardens whereas the old abbots were normal meeples placed on specialized monasteries. Just in case things weren’t confusing enough already. |

The maps consists of high-quality, strong, linen-embossed paper and has the size A1. The maps are delivered rolled up and the purchaser is recommended to flatten it by "bending against" before use or to press them flat again under a few books. Alternatively, they can also be attached to the table with a removable adhesive tape (crepe, for example). The latter also has the advantage that the map is not moved accidentally. The maps requires players to use their own game material from the base game and some major expansions, so they are not a standalone product but a complement to play a variant of the base game with extra tiles. Current maps:
How to use these rules The rules are organized as follows: There is one page describing the basic common rules for all the maps. The second page contains the basic rules for Carcassonne Maps - Germany as they were released initialy. They are kept here for the sake of completeness, but all the rules are covered by the previous document with the common rules. Below you will also find a section dedicated to Map-Chips that links to a page per map, as the rules are different in each case.

Count, King and Robber (1st edition) |
Count, King, and Robber was the sixth major expansion for Carcassonne and was originally released by Hans im Glück in 2007. This expansion represents a collection of (parts of) several smaller expansions which had been independently released at different times (2003-2005).

This is the most reasonable way to obtain each of the small expansions, although the individual small expansions may become available, from time-to-time, on the second-hand market. Because each part truly functions independently (and the publisher even recommends against playing with River II and Count of Carcassonne at the same time), each is described separately, and each tile distribution will be at the end of the respective subsection rather than at the end of the entire section. Only Heretics and Shrines was never published before and was introduced with this extension. Small Expansions included :- |
