Carcassonne V3.1 - Expansion 9: Sheep & Shepherds

About this product

Grow your flock, watch for the wolf, and add charming new countryside tactics to Carcassonne.

A Carcassonne expansion for players who enjoy tile placement, clever timing, and fresh scoring twists.

Add shepherds, sheep, wolves and scenic new tiles to bring more life — and more risk — to your Carcassonne countryside.

Product Description

Expand your Carcassonne world with peaceful pastures, clever hills, and one very troublesome wolf. Carcassonne V3.1 - Expansion 9: Sheep & Shepherds adds a charming push-your-luck layer to the classic tile placement game, giving players new ways to score while still keeping the familiar Carcassonne feel.

Place your shepherd in the fields, grow your flock, and decide when to safely score your sheep before the wolf appears. New land tiles also add extra variety to the landscape, making every game feel a little more lively, tactical and unpredictable.

Why you’ll love it

• Adds fresh strategy without changing the heart of Carcassonne — still simple to learn, but with new choices to enjoy.
• Shepherds create fun risk vs reward moments — grow your flock for more points, or score early before the wolf ruins the picnic.
• More tile variety for repeat plays — new countryside tiles help each game unfold differently.
• Great for Carcassonne fans — ideal if you already enjoy the base game and want another meaningful expansion.
• Family-friendly strategy feel — gentle theme, clever choices, and just enough tension to keep everyone watching the fields.
