  1. 3 out of 10

    The only good thing about this expansion is the tower to place the tiles. Played once and I did not feel it was a Carcassone game. There is a good reason why this expansion was not included in the new Big Box.

    If you thought the previous add on the Dragon and the princess was harsh, think again. This is as harsh as it can get playing Carcassonne. There is not a single safe spot on the game board where somebody wouldn't try to capture your followers into a tower. This add on could work best with the Count add on if asked me.

    Played with this once, and it really broke down the game. There wasn't much flow in it as people lost meeples all over.

Be the first to review “Carcassonne: Expansion 4 – The Tower”

The Tower is the fourth major expansion for the Carcassonne game. Tower segments are added to the game, as well as some new actions. Instead of placing a Meeple as usual on their turns, players can now either place a tower segment on a tile with a space for a tower, add a tower segment to a tower already standing, or place a Meeple on top of a tower (which "finishes" it).

Placing a tower segment allows you to capture other players’ Meeples, so long as they are in view of the tower in an orthogonal direction. If the tower is 1 piece high, they can capture Meeples that are within 1 tile of the tower; if the tower is 2 pieces high, they can capture Meeples within 2 tiles of the tower; etc. Not only do players lose whatever they may have scored with that Meeple, but they also have to pay 3 victory points if they want to free their Meeple.

Part of the Carcassonne series.
