Carcassonne invites players to construct a medieval landscape by placing tiles featuring cities, roads, fields, and monasteries. As the map grows, players strategically deploy their followers, known as "meeples," to claim and score points from completed features. This tile-placement game offers a perfect blend of strategy and simplicity, making it accessible to players of all ages. Carcassonne's ever-changing board ensures that no two games are alike, providing endless replayability and encouraging players to think creatively and adapt their strategies on the fly.
