Prepare for battle with the Carcassonne: Siege & Defense Expansion, where the peaceful countryside is threatened by attackers. This thrilling add-on challenges players to defend their cities, balance risk, and outmaneuver rivals. Use fortress tiles and defense posts to protect your cities while deploying meeples strategically to earn points. Contribute enough to the defense and reap the rewards—but fail to commit, and you may lose valuable features to the enemy. Catapults raise the stakes further, forcing players to adapt their strategies in real time. With 18 land tiles, 2 fortress tiles, 3 catapults, and 12 meeples, this expansion adds exciting medieval tension, risk-reward mechanics, and enhanced player interaction to Carcassonne. The Carcassonne base game is required to play.
