Alrightgames: Carcassonne – Castles & Bridges

Carcassonne: Castles & Bridges

2025 / Tile placement board game expansion / 2-6 players

"Ultimately, it's mostly pointless. I don't need or particularly want it in the collection" - Me, 2025

Well... yeah, but that was about the older version that included the rubbish bazaars. And the weirdly brown bridges that they've finally made grey to match the roads, so are more appealing to use now, even if I still forget to. It's nice to have proper castles rather than flimsy print-outs too, even if there's a little clash of art styles.

That was all I needed from this batch, so I sold on the next-generation tiles and surplus barns to further discount an unboxed set I'd paid for using eBay profits from recreationally upselling other people's underpriced Carcassonne sets, so it's not like I spent any real money on this completely unnecessary indulgence.
