Description
Carcassonne Castles & Bridges Expansion #8 expands the strategic landscape with architectural and infrastructural innovations. Bridges—supplied as 12 tactical pieces—enable creative feature connections and road improvements, whilst castles transform modest urban centres into prestige structures where knights attract maiden followers for alternative scoring pathways. Barns decouple farmer income from city completion, fundamentally reshaping agrarian strategy and long-term point accumulation. The 2025 refresh delivers 16 land tiles, 6 barn tiles, and 6 castle tiles alongside the bridge set, maintaining visual consistency with contemporary editions. These interlocking mechanics reward spatial planning and economic diversification. Base game required.
