There are also single-tile Markets (similar to Cloisters). These features include Bridges (comparable to the Roads of the original Carcassonne game), Islands (comparable to Cities), and Sea Regions (comparable to Farms). In Carcassonne: South Seas, players control a set of “Islanders” that will populate various features on the Sea tiles. Game Overview: In addition to the standard type of game tiles, Carcassonne: South Seas also comes with fish boat and ship tokens. Carcassonne: South Seas plays best with 4 or 5 players. In my first review for Board Game Quest, I’ll attempt to explain why I believe a trip to Carcassonne: South Seas should be on any gamer’s itinerary.Ĭarcassonne: South Seas is “a clever tile-laying game set in an island paradise” for 2 to 5 players and plays between 35 to 60 minutes. Designer Klaus-Jürgen Wrede has taken the familiar game play mechanics of drawing a landscape tile, placing it on the ever-expanding map, and claiming a part of the map by deploying a “meeple” figure, and added some fresh twists to it, such as collecting wares and delivering them on ships to earn points.
#Carcassonne rules yourturnmyturn series
When a new stand alone game called Carcassonne: South Seas (the first in a new series called “ Carcassonne Around the World”) was announced recently, I was intrigued. In addition, the completionist in me just HAD to collect every expansion, promo, and stand alone game related to Carcassonne. After learning the game myself, I couldn’t wait to teach it to family, friends, and strangers on the street (ok, maybe not that last one). Of those three games, Carcassonne is the one that I was immediately drawn to and has had the most impact on me. Like many others, my introduction into the “modern” or “Euro” style of board gaming started with three of the most well-regarded “gateway” games: Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride, and Carcassonne. I’ve been an active member of the board gaming community for only a little over a year now, but in that relatively short amount of time, my love/obsession for the hobby (not to mention my game collection) has grown faster than I ever thought possible.
