Description

Carcassonne is a tile-placement game in which the players draw and place a tile with a piece of southern French landscape on it. The tile might feature a city, a road, a cloister, grassland or some combination thereof, and it must be placed adjacent to tiles that have already been played, in such a way that cities are connected to cities, roads to roads, etcetera. Having placed a tile, the player can then decide to place one of their meeples on one of the areas on it: on the city as a knight, on the road as a robber, on a cloister as a monk, or on the grass as a farmer. When that area is complete, that meeple scores points for its owner.

During a game of Carcassonne, players are faced with decisions like: "Is it really worth putting my last meeple there?" or "Should I use this tile to expand my city, or should I place it near my opponent instead, giving him a hard time to complete their project and score points?" Since players place only one tile and have the option to place one meeple on it, turns proceed quickly even if it is a game full of options and possibilities.

Carcassonne: 20th Anniversary Edition is a special edition of Carcassonne to celebrate the 20th anniversary of its Spiel des Jahres win in 2001. This edition includes the tiles from the Carcassonne base game, "The River" mini-expansion (with five new river tiles), "The Abbot" mini-expansion, and a new 15-tile "anniversary" mini-expansion. All tiles are adorned with UV-print, with many detailed easter eggs being hidden in the art. Costume stickers are included in case you wish to "dress" your meeples.

All contents are compatible with existing and future Carcassonne releases.

Edit: Available for order again but with a delayed dispatch.

Usually dispatched within 6 to 12 days

    I paid about this much after cashback after much fluffing around from that Booktopia deal a while ago. Should have waited for this as cashback is never a given. This pinged my camel alert. Wasn't expecting it to be this price so soon after I bought it.

      It’s such a good game, timeless really.
      I was amazed by it when I first played it back in 2005

    Is DLC an amusing way of saying extras or is there actually something to download with this edition?

      I’m just being silly

  Would it be worth getting the big box edition instead?

    Absolutely, as long as you want the extensions and have 3x the money you need for this base game here.

    I have camel alerts for that too but would have to be sure that I'm going to play it if I'm paying $100 or so.

    If it gets cheap again probably but it hasnt been below $100 since 2021 apparently. $44 seems pretty good to be introduced to it but the big box comes with 12 expansions i think from memory though a lot to spend if youre not sure on it.

  jediw on 16/05/2023 - 14:45

  Showing as the cheapest being $55 now?

• 

  Ayanami on 16/05/2023 - 14:45

  Seems OOS at that price now, coming up as $67.25 delivered by Gameology.

  Thanks OP nonetheless, good find at the price you got it for.

  EDIT: as the comment above notes, can be had for $55 from elsewhere but don't ship to Parcel Lockers.

    Yep, bought a copy @ $55, still worth it for that price.

  Fyi it's $44 at Mighty Ape. It was +$5.95 delivery to Qld but they also have it on their eBay store.

    Thanks. I couldn''t see who they were price matching. Postage is $6.50 on eBay.
