Un ottimo gioco da due che riprendendo il meccanismo di base di Carcassonne lo rinchiude nello spazio delimitato dalle mura della città. Anche se possedete il gioco originale, ritengo che questa versione sia meritevole dell’acquisto in modo da alternarla alla prima quando giocate contro un solo avversario. Pur essendo molto simile va affrontato in maniera diversa e introduce due novità molto carine: le tessere bonus lungo le mura e i punti dati dallo spazio vuoto a chi possiede il palazzo più grande. Entrambe danno la possibilità di operare qualche scelta tattica in più.
Carcassonne: the Castle takes place in the city of Carcassone itself. The theme is development of the city within the "castle walls", which might be more appropriately called the city walls, but Carcassonne: The City was apparently already in development.
It is not an expansion, but a stand-alone tile-placement game with the Carcassonne mechanics adapted specially for two players. The goal is to lead the race around the castle wall, which is also the scoring track for the game. There are bonus items on the wall for the first player to reach that point.
Play is very similar to Carcassonne but all the tiles must be played within the walls, which often constrains the choices. The followers used for scoring are heralds (on paths), knights (on towers), squires (on houses) and merchants (on courtyards which are more valuable if they have a market). And, the player with the largest "keep" (largest house completed during the game) scores points for the largest contiguous undeveloped area (unplayed tile spaces) at the end of the game. The bonus tiles collected from the walls add twists to the scoring, such as doubling one of a particular scoring structure or scoring one uncompleted structure.
