A Quiet Cloister for Points

Carcassonne, designed by Klaus-Jürgen Wrede and published by Hans im Glück in 2000, is named after a famous French walled city. It won the Spiel des Jahres in 2001. Players draw and place landscape tiles, building roads, cities, fields and monasteries.

Players claim features with wooden pieces called meeples: thieves on roads, knights in cities, monks in monasteries and farmers in fields. A monastery is complete when all eight surrounding spaces hold tiles, scoring nine points, one for itself plus eight neighbors. At the game's end, an unfinished monastery scores one point for itself and each tile around it.

Completed cities score two points per tile plus two for each pennant, and roads score one per tile. Farmers stay in fields and score completed cities at the end. Careful meeple placement decides most games.
