My First Carcassonne

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Story: On 14 July, the national holiday in France, the sheep, chickens and cows are set free in the town of Carcassonne. The children have great fun catching the animals before dusk.

The players, in turn, draw a landscape tile and place it. Unlike in normal Carcassonne, the tiles always match. Amongst other features, the tiles show children in the player colours on the roads. Whenever a road is finished, every player places one of their meeples on each appropriate picture.

The first player who manages to place all of their meeples wins the game.
