Journey to the Stone Age in this prehistoric version of the classic tile-laying game.
A Prehistoric Challenge
Thousands of years before the people of Carcassonne built mighty walls and
castles, their ancestors roamed the land, hunting, fishing, and gathering what
they needed to survive. Carcassonne: Hunters and Gatherers combines the classic
tile-laying gameplay of the original Carcassonne with new thematic features and
adjusted scoring rules for an all-new challenge. Players take turns placing
tiles to expand a prehistoric landscape full of forests, rivers, lakes, and
grasslands, and then score each natural feature. Wild animals from mammoths to
sabre-toothed tigers lurk in the grasslands, affecting your hunter score at the
end of the game.
Same Game, New Features
One of the highest-rated standalone versions of Carcassonne of all time, Hunters
& Gatherers includes everything from the original published in 2002, plus
updated art and additional menhir tiles, bonus tiles that give you extra turns
to take special actions. When you complete a forest with a menhir, take an extra
turn to draw and place a menhir tile and resolve its special effect—anything
from scoring bonuses to a wildfire that chases all sabre-toothed tigers away
from a connected grassland. Use menhir tiles to your advantage to get ahead of
your opponents! Will you strategically place your tribe members and win
the game?
