General info and comments
The Great Fairs fan-expansion was released by Carcassonne Central member oldbonz.
In the Middle Ages, the big fairs were the means of bringing together local producers, but also large traders and bankers who sometimes came from very far away. They would take this opportunity to procure products from foreign countries. The peasants of the surrounding countryside would bring their production and the shopkeepers their manufactured objects.
