Mik Svellov reports on the upcoming Carcassonne: Builders & Traders expansion, which will include 24 new tiles. Some tiles feature symbols for wine, cloth, and wheat, and collecting these goods earns bonus points at the end of the game. Two new meeples are also introduced: a builder, which can be placed in a city or road to allow its owner to place an extra tile when expanding there, and a pig(!), which earns farmers extra points when in their field. A cloth bag will be included to eliminate problems from non-identical tile backs. |
