Those who build, who acts!

Dealers and builders, the second expansion to Carcassonne, the game of the year 2001. The game is played with this extension complex but also exciting and varied. The extension is filled with the following content:

24 new land tiles: Essentially there are new district maps, on which the new had come into play goods are recorded. The game is prolonged and given new strategic opportunities.

20 goods tiles: The player, who is ready for a city that receives the goods is shown in the form of goods platelets. There are the goods "wine", "grain" and "cloth". The player who has most platelets of a product at the end of the game gets 10 points. I think the idea with the goods very useful, and it may now be quite vonnutzen to finalize the city an opponent.

Pig and builder: Are the 2 new followers, which each player receives. The pig is placed on a private meadow, thereby increasing the value of the neighboring cities to one point each. The builder is placed on a road or in a city. If we extend now the street / city to which the builder is, one may again drag and drop a card. Good and strong game element. With a high number of players the Builder is perhaps a little too much.

1 cloth bag: Practical bag, in which the land tiles or equal to the whole game can be packed.

My conclusion: The second expansion for Carcassonne integrates well into the game and extended this sense. But unfortunately - as with all other expansions to Carcassonne - the price very high. Nevertheless, I would each of the main game has recommended to buy this extension. It really does better with the goods probably one of the best of new ideas comes into play. With a large number of players, it is due to the new landscape cards, anyhow essential.
