Mists of Carcassonne: Expansion - Board Game

Mists Over Carcassonne is the world’s first cooperative version of Carcassonne. Players already familiar with Carcassonne will be able to dive right into the game. 6 exciting levels will guide players step by step through the individual elements and rules of Mists over Carcassonne and present them with ever greater challenges. 

In the game, players take turns adding a new land tile to the board. As the game board expands, players will place their meeples to score points. However, ghosts will appear during the game and it’s up to the player to pacify them. Together, players must reach the goal tile by scoring a pre-determined number of points. But if there are too many ghosts on the board, or players can’t draw any more land tiles, then they have lost. 

All players play together against the game. Show each other your tiles and decide as a team where to place them. In later levels especially, you will need to cooperate well! 

Carcassonne is a tile-placement game in which the players draw and place a tile with a piece of southern French landscape on it. The tile might feature a city, a road, a cloister, grassland or some combination thereof, and it must be placed adjacent to tiles that have already been played, in such a way that cities are connected to cities, roads to roads, etcetera. Having placed a tile, the player can then decide to place one of their meeples on one of the areas on it: on the city as a knight, on the road as a robber, on a cloister as a monk, or on the grass as a farmer. When that area is complete, that meeple scores points for its owner.

During a game of Carcassonne, players are faced with decisions like: "Is it really worth putting my last meeple there?" or "Should I use this tile to expand my city, or should I place it near my opponent instead, giving him a hard time to complete their project and score points?" Since players place only one tile and have the option to place one meeple on it, turns proceed quickly even if it is a game full of options and possibilities.
