The better the players succeed in this, the more points they can achieve at the end.

Players choose from tiles that depict cities, roads, monasteries, and fields; each new tile placed creates an ever-expanding board on which players can then add their followers. Players score points by having followers on features as they're completed. The player who makes the most strategic placements of tiles and followers will score the most points and win the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowers can take many different roles in Carcassonne—knights, monks, farmers, or thieves—determined by the type of tile on which they're placed. Each role scores points differently, so you'll need careful planning to make the best use of your followers. For example, thieves are placed on roads and score one point for every tile making up that road. On the other hand, monks are placed in cloisters and score nine points—one for each tile surrounding the monastery—when the last of those nine tiles is placed. You have a limited number of followers and, once placed, you don't get them back until the feature they're on is completed. You'll need to consider whether to go for quick scores of low points that leave you with more available followers, or work toward higher points that commit your followers long-term.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the map grows, so does the opportunity for players to disrupt each other’s plans. Everyone is adding to the same map and only one follower can be on any given feature at a time—so if you don’t place a follower on something, someone else probably will. Clever placement of tiles and followers can deny other players points—or even steal them away. Whether blocking a city's growth or connecting with your opponent’s road to share the points, Carcassonne provides plenty of ways to use your cunning and outsmart your opponents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its simple yet rich game mechanics and eighty-four tiles that can be configured into numerous combinations, Carcassonne appeals to beginners and veteran gamers alike.

By placing the tiles in this expansion, players build hills and vineyards, trying to plan ahead to claim the sweetest meadows for points — bringing sheep and shepherds while keeping watch for the wolf that waits to be drawn among the tiles...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhenever a tile featuring a hill icon is added to the playing area, it is placed on top of another randomly drawn tile, elevating it above the playing surface and creating a hill. Hill tiles act as tie-breakers: if two or more players occupy the same feature equally (a \"shared majority\"), but one of the tied players has a follower standing on a hill tile, that player will have an advantage over the others, and will score all the points for that feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVineyards are designed to increase the importance of monasteries. Each vineyard tile placed around a monastery adds three points to that monastery's score. However, these bonus points only count if the monastery is completed, so players are more likely to sabotage their opponents' monasteries in order to prevent them from being finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShepherds are new pieces that can only be placed in fields. Each time a player expands the field occupied by his or her shepherd, that player has two options: 1. Draw a sheep token out of a bag, placing it near their shepherd; or 2. Trade in all their accumulated sheep for points. Each sheep token is worth 1-4 points, depending on the number of sheep depicted. However, hidden among the sheep tokens are two wolf tokens, and if a player draws one of these, all of their sheep are lost and placed back into the bag. This introduces a push-your-luck aspect to Carcassonne, as players can choose to either \"cash-in\" the sheep they have, or try to add more sheep and risk losing them all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe goal of \u003cem\u003eHills \u0026amp; Sheep\u003c\/em\u003e remains the same as in basic \u003cem\u003eCarcassonne\u003c\/em\u003e: claim the most points to win the game. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Z-MAN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46101972713698,"sku":null,"price":26.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/4066\/0450\/files\/HillsandSheep.jpg?v=1751798467"},{"product_id":"carcassonne-expansion-2-traders-builders","title":"Carcassonne: Expansion 2 – Traders \u0026 Builders","description":"\u003cdiv aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-selected=\"false\" aria-controls=\"description\" data-collapsible=\"true\" role=\"tab\" data-role=\"collapsible\" aria-labeledby=\"tab-label-description-title\" class=\"data item title active\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"data item title active\" aria-labeledby=\"tab-label-description-title\" data-role=\"collapsible\" id=\"tab-label-description\" role=\"tab\" data-collapsible=\"true\" aria-controls=\"description\" aria-selected=\"true\" aria-expanded=\"true\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-hidden=\"false\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-label-description\" data-role=\"content\" id=\"description\" class=\"data item content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product attribute description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"value\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: \u003c\/strong\u003eRequires Carcassonne\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eboard game to play.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis second expansion to the worldwide gaming phenomenon. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCarcassonne adds a new dimension to the experience.

Habitat and environment scoring cards add unique scoring conditions so that each game provides a new spatial challenge with thousands of possible combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurns are simple: Choose a habitat tile and wildlife token pair, then place them into your expanding environment. This time, each habitat tile is a double-hexagon, and tiles can be stacked. Many of the core game mechanisms are similar to Cascadia, but the twist is that each habitat scores in different ways, and your environment is now a three-dimensional spatial puzzle with new stacking and adjacency challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AEG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48191298404578,"sku":null,"price":82.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/4066\/0450\/files\/275743.jpg?v=1786357194"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/4066\/0450\/collections\/download.png?v=1698806891","url":"https:\/\/3dlevelup.com.au\/collections\/spiel-des-jahres-winners.oembed?page=2","provider":"3DLevelup","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
