About the game
Carcassonne: The Castle is a two-player German board game. It is designed by Reiner Knizia, although Carcassonne series creator Klaus-Jürgen Wrede is also credited. Like other games in the Carcassonne series, it is published by Hans im Gluck in German and Rio Grande Games in English.
Unlike other games in the series, The Castle is solely designed for head-to-head play. Although the main game mechanic of tile placement is retained, players are also additionally confined by the fixed board layout. The Castle is focused on the interior of a castle that is said to be situated in the middle of Carcassonne, a medieval walled city in France.
A downloadable expansion called The Falcon was released in 2015.More from Hans im Glück
