This introduces a thrilling risk-reward dynamic to controlling the fields. You can also cultivate valuable vineyards around your monasteries, significantly increasing their worth upon completion and turning humble cloisters into powerful scoring engines.

This expansion masterfully enhances replayability, ensuring every game is a unique and engaging experience.

Carcassonne: Hills & Sheep introduces three compelling new mechanics that seamlessly integrate with the base game. First, the art of shepherding allows you to place shepherds in your fields. With each new connecting tile, you can choose to either expand your flock by drawing a sheep token or secure your current flock for points. This press-your-luck element adds a thrilling tension to field control. Second, the vineyards offer a new way to score. By strategically placing vineyard tiles adjacent to a monastery, you increase its final point value, rewarding careful long-term planning. Finally, the hill feature provides a decisive strategic edge. When you place a meeple on a feature built upon a hill tile, that meeple will win any tie for control, making these elevated positions highly contested and valuable.

Perfect for families and game groups seeking a Fun new twist on a beloved game, this expansion is recommended for players aged >12 Years.
