Carcassonne - Traders and Builders is the second major expansion to the original Carcassonne game. This expansion set includes twenty-four tiles, containing the added features of cities and bridges. Traders have the ability to acquire extra points for players, while builders allow players to set down extra tiles, therefore allowing the cities and roads to progress more rapidly. A pig pawn has the potential to add value to a farm, if strategically placed. This set adds a nice variety to an already fun game!

Please Note: This game is not a stand alone game and requires a copy of Carcassonne to play.

Contents of Carcassonne - Traders and Builders:

• 24 New Land Tiles
• 20 Trade Goods Tiles
• 6 Builders
• 6 Pigs
• 1 Cloth Bag

Submited By: Andrew Wilson on 05/07/2004 Though they are both good, Builders and Traders is the better of the two expansions for Carcassonne. First of all there are more tiles with different landscapes on them. More different tiles are always welcome! Some of the new city tiles also have commodity symbols on them, wheat, wine, or cloth. When you complete a city, you get commodity tokens for all of the symbols in the city you just completed. You get them even if you don’t get any points for the city yourself, so you might find yourself completing cities just for the tokens! At the end of the game, whoever has the most tokens of each of the three commodities gets bonus points. The other extra pieces are the pig and the builder. You can put the pig on a field where you have a farmer already. When you score that field at the end of the game, you get an extra point for each city that touches the field. The builder you can put on a city or road where you already have a follower. After that, whenever you place a tile that connects to that road or city, you get to draw and place another tile! This lets you expand your terrain features really fast. The new tiles and pieces add a lot of new options to Carcassonne. At only $12.00, Builders and Traders is definitely worth it!
