About this product
Build smarter roads, claim powerful castles, and reshape the countryside with clever new scoring choices.
A tactical Carcassonne expansion for players who love tile placement, clever timing, and more ways to score.
Add bridges, castles, and barns to your Carcassonne game for richer tile placement and fresh strategic decisions.
Product Description
Bring new life to your Carcassonne countryside with Castles & Bridges, Expansion 8 for the classic tile-laying game.
This expansion adds clever new ways to connect roads, create scoring opportunities, and challenge your opponents’ plans. Bridges help you build roads in smarter ways, castles open fresh scoring paths, and barns add another layer to field strategy.
It keeps the familiar Carcassonne feel, but gives experienced players more tactical choices every turn.
