Carcassonne Expansion 2: Merchants and Builders (2025)

Key features of Carcassonne expansion 2: Merchants and Builders (2025)

Construction boom in full swing

Add new trading and building opportunities to your Carcassonne game with the Merchants and Builders expansion. The expansion cannot be played without the base game, bringing new strategic elements and pieces to the medieval world. The building boom is in full swing, and so builders are emerging on the scene that can accelerate the development of your territories and allow you to make a double move. Just extend the path or expand the city where you have your builder and you get an extra turn.

All new cards and figures can be combined with the base game

When closing cities you not only gain points, but also become a buyer. New landscape cards contain commodity symbols and if you close a city with such symbols, you will receive the corresponding commodity tokens. At the end of the game, whoever has collected the most chips of a given type (poultry, grain or canvas) will receive a bonus 10 points. And to make matters worse, there's also a piglet to help you score points for the towns in the meadows. With each closed town with a coat of arms, the piglet is activated and you gain 3 points for each town adjacent to the meadow where your piglet is located. The expansion brings a total of 24 new landscape cards. The game is suitable for players of all ages who want to bring Carcassonne to life and add new and exciting elements to the game. It can also be combined with other extensions.
