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.
