  1. 6 out of 10

    3 plays / 2,4,5 players LIKE: Good gateway, tile placement game. Mining for gold using the tents is fun. Just enough competition and interaction. Blocking and stealing is more prominent than in South Seas (the Carcassonne version I play the most). DISLIKE: Scoring is a touch fiddly. Players can possibly get meeples stuck if a bad position is chosen. Two trains on one track canceling each other out is a little odd. OVERALL: Very fun, worthy game, nice competitive feel. The tempo of using the tents and when to place meeples in the prairie makes for a well-rounded experience. My wife says the game has a masculine feel. South Seas Carcassonne is easier to track scoring, but the cities in Gold Rush are more fun than the markets in South Seas. w/ sheriff exp

    It's Carcassonne, but with a few unique twists that make it different. And I like the theme better. :)

    I bought this for Annie at Dragon's Den's 2014 Boxing Week sale for $23.99. It's very good. A standalone variant. Easy to learn.

Be the first to review “Carcassonne: Gold Rush”

Carcassonne: Gold Rush is the second title in the "Carcassonne: Around the World" series of tile-laying games, with each game being based on the original Carcassonne design in which players slowly create a world by placing tiles on the playing area and scoring for various features in the landscape they create.

In Carcassonne: Gold Rush, players return to the 19th century in the United States when cowboys drove cattle, trappers traded with Native Americans, the first railway routes appeared, and explorers — that is, the players — sent their henchmen to gold mines to laboriously search for gold nuggets. Depending on where you place your tent, you might be able to snatch a nugget from another explorer — but sometimes you’ll be left holding fool’s gold while someone else uncovers a rich gold find…
