The followers, of which each player only has four (with a fifth for the scoring track) get placed as robbers (in the mountains), seafarers (on the seas) or explorers (on the meadows). On a player's turn, he must place a tile and may then place a follower on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs in the original game, tiles may only be placed so that identical landscape types match up. A follower may only be placed when no other follower has been placed there yet. When the follower is removed, however, then the size of the region in which the follower is located brings points - regardless of whether the region has been closed off or not, although closed off regions score considerably more points. There's also an additional rule that lets mountainous regions increase in value, even if they've already been completed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a distinctly simpler version of \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/822\/carcassonne\"\u003eCarcassonne\u003c\/a\u003e than the original. This was the goal during the development of the game. It should have simpler rules, but offer greater strategic depth. What is interesting about the game is that regions aren't scored automatically any more (when they are closed off), this is a decision left to the player (the removing of the follower). Since the regions can only get more valuable, this ensures many agonizing decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(From Gamewire and Spielbox)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis game is part of the \u003ca class=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/wiki\/page\/Carcassonne_series#\"\u003eCarcassonne series\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rio Grande Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16296526657,"sku":"16296526657","price":22.61,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/Carcassonne_The_Discovery.jpg?v=1578609102","url":"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/carcassonne-the-discovery","provider":"vaibhavhospital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
