## Overview

The Carcassonne Inns & Cathedrals Expansion adds 18 new land tiles featuring inns and cathedrals that double road and city points when completed, introduces a full pink meeple set for a 5th player, and includes large meeples that count as two for enhanced strategic play. It also provides scoring tiles for easier point tracking and subtle tile markings for organization. Designed to deepen strategy and refresh gameplay, this expansion requires the base game and is ideal for players aged 8 and up.

## Description

Carcassonne Exp 1: Inns & CathedralsThe Inns & Cathedrals expansion adds more ways to shape the Medieval countryside in the award-winning tile-laying game Carcassonne. Eighteen Land tiles feature two new buildings that open additional avenues to scoring points. Construct imposing cathedrals that increase your cities' value, or build humble inns along your roads to double the value of your thieves. But be careful! An incomplete feature that uses an inn or cathedral scores no points at the end of the game.

Review: What's new: - Full set of pink meeples (abbott and large meeple included) for an extra player - 5 large meeples that count as 2 meeples instead of one (helps when someone tries to steal your points by jumping on your road/city/farm, your meeple counts as 2 instead of 1) - 18 land tiles - the inns and cathedrals are like a "double or nothing" tile - roads with an inn somewhere along its course become worth 2 points per tile, unless left incomplete at the end of the game, then they all are worth 0 points (multiple inns/cathedrals do not add up to increase the points). The city tiles become worth 3 points (coat of arms also become worth 3 points - so not quite double the points) when a cathedral is present within the city, or if left incomplete are worth 0 points. Tiles are marked with a small faint meeple shadow (same as on the front bottom left corner of the box as seen in the picture) so you can keep the expansions separate after playing. The marking is very discrete and does not draw attention to itself. In fact, it took several sweeps of the board to sort out all of the expansion tiles. - Six 50 and 100 point tiles for easier scoring (50 on one side, and 100 on the other side of the tile) I would recommend buying this expansion before any other expansions, as that is how it is meant to be (hence "expansion 1"). desertcart messed up and actually sent us traders and builders (#2) when we ordered inns and cathedrals (#1). We kept the 2nd expansion and played it without the 1st expansion (the base game is still required in both instances). It was doable and still fun, but the scoring tiles would have made it much easier to keep track of points, since you end up scoring a lot more points with the expansions. Also, the 2nd expansion included a pink builder and pink pig that was useless to us without the first expansion that includes the full pink set. I liked the added risk factor that the inns and cathedrals brought (double or nothing). After becoming familiar with playing the Carcassonne base game, there seems to be less and less strategy involved after each play and it leaves you wanting more. This expansion pack added a great new strategic dimension that revived the game for me. As a side note, it does take a bit longer to play with each expansion (since you are adding tiles to be drawn with each expansion). We usually only play with one of the expansions at a time, but if we have the time both expansions make it more intricate and fun with so much going on. I would definitely recommend this expansion if you are looking to take your Carcassonne game play to the next level!
Review: A brilliant expansion pack that adds real interest to the main game without straying too far into ridiculous or complex rules.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work with the classic version?**
A: Yes. No issues.

**Q: Does this zman set match the old rio grande base edition specifically, do the back of tiles look the same as the rio grande edition?**
A: They have the identical design on the back. The shade of the "C" might be slightly lighter in bright light, but not so noticeable. If you just randomize beforehand and stack or use a draw bag, it completely gets around any potential issues. Hasn't affected our games in any way and we mixed old and new tiles.

**Q: Do I need the original board game to use the expansion?**
A: Yes you do need the original board for this game.  The expansion is not enough pieces to play on its own.  I'd recommend starting with the original board game first before adding the addition play this expansion gives you.

**Q: What color are the meeples for the 6th player?**
A: the addtional colour of the meeples that comes with this expansion is pink

Che dire? La veste grafica della nuova ed. di Carcassonne è eccellente, con immagini delle scatole veramente belle. Il sistema è rodato ed era ora che iniziassero a uscire espansioni per la nuova versione con tessere graficamente compatibili e qualche novità.
