Carcassonne V3.1 – Expansion 2: Traders & Builders

Build faster, trade smarter and add fresh scoring twists to your Carcassonne world.

Official Carcassonne expansion. Base game required.

Add builders, pigs, goods tokens, new land tiles and a cloth bag to make every Carcassonne game more tactical and replayable.

Product Description

Give your Carcassonne games a clever new layer with Traders & Builders, the second major expansion for the classic tile-laying game.

This expansion adds new ways to plan ahead, score bonus points and push your opponents just a little harder. Builders help you grow roads and cities faster, pigs make farms more rewarding, and goods tokens create a fresh race for end-game bonuses.

It keeps the familiar Carcassonne feel, but adds more decisions, more tension and more "wait, I have a plan" moments around the table.
