Carcassonne Board Game

Our group started playing Carcassonne in June 2021. We all purchased the game and have tried a number of the expansions that were included the Big Box 6 version. We have also purchased additional expansions which we enjoy.

The last official printing of the Carcassonne Standard Complete Annotated Rules, S-CAR v7.4, was created as a 339 page PDF file on May 22, 2015. The task of carrying on the "Official English Rules" is now being managed on-line by WikiCarPedia. Follow this link to see the History of the Carcassonne Game.

Our combined game includes the Carcassonne Big Box 6 that was released in 2017 plus Expansion 3: Princess and Dragon, Expansion 4: The Tower, Expansion 5: Abbey and the Mayor, Expansion 8: Bridges, Castles, and Bazaars, Expansion 10: Under the Big Top, and plus the Halflings Minor Expansion.

Whenever we get together for Game Night, the first thing we do is create a list of which expansions we will include for the next game.
