Carcassonne: Traders and Builders Expansion Reviews

4.9 Rating 9 Reviews
Read Zatu Games Reviews

The second major expansion for Carcassonne, Traders and Builders adds new tiles, new trade items, a builder for each player and pigs! It also comes with a large cloth bag to keep all the tiles, so you don't have to worry about being able to tell the different sets of expansion tiles apart when they are in a stack! In Carcassonne: Traders and Builders, some of the new tiles feature wine, cloth and wheat goods. Every time a tile with these goods are scored, the player also collects these goods with each giving bonus points at the end of the game adding even more competitiveness and struggle among the players for those final vital points. Each player also gets a builder meeple, when it is placed on a feature it acts as a supervisor for the feature and when it is expanded the player who owns the builder gets to draw and place a tile no matter whose turn it is. Each player also gains a new pig meeple which can be placed in a field by a farmer to gain four more points per completed city connected to the fields rather than the usual three. Carcassonne: Traders and Builders adds more depth, more choice and more paths to gain those valuable points for victory. Traders and Builders does not need the first Carcassonne expansion to play! Player Count: 2-6 Time: 60 Minutes Age: 13+

A top quality expansion that should certainly be included with you base set. The builder in particular is so much fun to include.

If you have Carcassonne, then this expansion is considered one of the essential expansions. This is simply down to the fact that it adds a few simple elements to the game that improve upon the core game so much, that it is considered simply part of the game. This is honestly a must buy for the base game. This expansion introduces a whole new way to score points at the end game. To score these you need to close cities, making it more feasible to interact with other’s builds. It adds a builder meeple for you to place on your ‘in-progress’ cities or roads which allows you to play an extra tile if you are adding to the place where the builder is located. It also introduces the pig meeple that makes fields score more at the end game. And last but not least, a cloth bag so you don’t need tons of stacks of tiles laying around the table. Absolute must buy.
