Description

Carcassonne is required to enjoy this game

New pieces offer tremendous strategic flexibility in this Carcassonneexpansion.

Stake Your Claim
With a new tile type and three new pieces, the Abbey & Mayor expansion forCarcassonne gives players more options than ever. Abbey tiles act asmonasteries, but you can use them to plug holes in the board by filling spacessurrounded by tiles. Mayors help you control cities by using coats of arms todetermine their strength. Outside the city walls, Barns synergize with farmersto enhance the value of fields they occupy, while wagons can be placed likefollowers but then moved from one feature to the next after scoring. Such avariety of tiles and pieces creates numerous opportunities to employ cunningstrategies that can outwit opponents.

Breaking New Ground
Clever follower placement is a hallmark of Carcassonne. With the components inAbbey & Mayor, you can devise new ways to get the most out of each piece.A well-placed Mayor can override other players’ followers and even circumventlarge meeples. Also, since the Mayor’s strength is equal to the number ofcoats of arms in their city, this increased strength also nets them the extrapoints those same coats of arms provide. You can also use wagons to swoop in andtake over features before your opponents can get to them. While first placedlike a normal follower, you can move a wagon immediately to an adjacent,uninhabited feature once the original placement is scored. Finally, Barns scoreany farmers in the field they’re placed in and bestow extra points at the endof the game. Played on their own with the base game or combined with otherCarcassonne expansions, Abbey & Mayor provides plenty of new paths tovictory.
