r/Carcassonne

Everyone who guesses right gets free access. Everyone who guesses wrong also gets free access. It's free.

Heads up for anyone in/near London:The 30th Mind Sports Olympiad runs 22–30 August at the Mercure Hotel in Earls Court and includes Carcassonne tournaments (plus a whole load of other games).It’s open to all levels and ages. You can enter the Carcassonne events or just turn up and spectate for free.Full schedule and registration here:
https://mindsportsolympiad.com/2026-schedule-and-registration/Might be a fun chance to play some serious (or not-so-serious) Carcassonne in person if you’re around. Rumor has it that several former Carcassonne world champions will be playing including Matt Tucker!

Just wanted to share my travel Carcassonne set it's in all drawstring bags. It started out as a C1 Big box 4 but I've added in other C1 sets as well.  I keep it stored in one of the new large draw bags. 

Inside the draw bag is the base set ready to play with the start tile and score tiles  separated in a small bag. It has color coordinated meeple bags for each player. And my custom leather / canvas scoremat. 

It also has a nesting bag that houses all the expansions that are also separated into bags. Each expantion is labeled with tag that has a tile count and other info. Each tag has a QR code that opens the rules for that expansion. I just pick expansions and mix them in the draw bag. 

I also can also have the bag pre loaded ready to play. Sometimes I'll leave behind the nesting bag and just play with what's mixed in if I'm going somewhere. The nesting bag also holds the content not in play neatly and out of the way. 

The scoremat I made by scanning the original and then printing that on a canvas sheet from an artist canvas pad. It's a little faint in color, but a normal Inkjet home printer can feed the sheets. I then used a semi gloss spray clear coat so the ink doesn't bleed. After that it was I glued on some leather for weight to help it lay flat.

​Bonjour à tous,

​En tant que grand fan de Carcassonne, je voulais créer une alternative web fluide et accessible, jouable directement depuis le navigateur sur PC, tablette ou mobile, sans installation.

​L'application est disponible dès maintenant ici : Carcassone Webapp

​Voici ce que propose l'application :

​Multijoueur en ligne & salon privé : Créez une table, partagez le lien d'invitation à vos amis et lancez une partie en direct (de 2 à 5 joueurs).

​Jeu de base + 5 extensions : La Rivière, Auberges & Cathédrales, Marchands & Bâtisseurs, Abbaye & Maire, ainsi que L'Abbé. Chaque extension est activable à la carte.

​Toutes les pièces spécifiques : Prise en charge intégrée des meeples, grands meeples, abbés, maires, chariots, bâtisseurs, cochons et granges (avec la gestion spécifique des blasons, déplacements post-décompte et chassé des fermiers).

​Parties persistantes & reprises : La partie survit aux déconnexions. Vous pouvez reprendre la table exactement là où vous l'avez laissée.

​Adversaires IA & remplacement : Des bots sont disponibles pour s'entraîner ou compléter une table. Ils prennent automatiquement le relais si un joueur humain s'absente ou dépasse le temps imparti.

​Mode classé & ELO : Un système de classement adapté aux duels comme aux tables multijoueurs.

​Journal de jeu détaillé : Un traçage complet des scores où chaque point est justifié (rattaché à sa ville, route ou prairie).

​Personnalisation des règles : Choix de la taille du deck (jusqu'à 144 tuiles), variante avec main de 3 tuiles, chronomètres de tour, tables publiques ou privées.

​N'hésitez pas à tester avec vos proches et à me faire vos retours sur l'ergonomie, les IA ou le gameplay ! 🧩

After playing Carcassonne for a while and slowly collecting more expansions, the original boxes became almost impossible to manage. So I decided to model a complete custom case for my set.

It fits the base game, The River, The Abbot, and all 10 current major expansions:

1. Inns & Cathedrals

2. Traders & Builders

3. Dragon & Fairy

4. Towers & Thieves

5. Messengers & Mayors

6. Jousts & Crests

7. Siege & Defense

8. Castles & Bridges

9. Sheep & Shepherds

10. Circus & Artists

Everything has its own place: tiles, meeples, tokens, rules, scoring/overview sheets, and expansion-specific components.

The case has separate internal trays, removable lids, magnetic/locking parts, and a multicolor printed map/scoring board inside. The outer shell is also multicolor printed, with a themed design on the lid.

This was modeled from scratch, not downloaded from Printables or Thingiverse. It took a lot of test prints, measuring, redesigning, tolerance tweaking, and a few “why did I make this so complicated?” moments, but I’m really happy with how it turned out.

Would love to hear what other Carcassonne players think. What would you add or change in a storage system like this?

FYI the Coleman camping table has the correct size squares for Carcassonne tiles!

I make Seizer (seizer.io), a free app for playing online, and the part I want to show you is async games.

The idea is: nobody has to be online at the same time. You start a game, send your friends a link, and everyone just takes their turn whenever they have a minute. You get a notification when it's your turn, place your tile in 30 seconds, and get on with your day. A game might take an afternoon or a week, and you can have several going at once. It works like the correspondence chess apps, except it's our favorite board game Carcassonne mechanics.

if you have a game group that can never sync schedules, or a friend or parent you'd like a standing game with, I'd love for you to try it and tell me what's missing. The feedback box in the game goes straight to me and most of what I ship comes from it.

I have two questions about the rules: 1st, when you’re counting points and you have two fields separated by cities, are the cities bordering the two farmers’ fields scored twice? E.g. 1st picture.

And the 2nd, If I have a scarecrow and it turns into a farmer, can I, on that same turn, assign a pig to the farmer and, at the same time, place a meeple and the builder on the last tile I laid? E.g. 2nd picture.

1 siege, 1 joust tournament, 1 dragon action, 1 plague, lots of one things. Gifts are overpowered..

I didn't see anything I liked online, so i made my own and I'd like to share it. I dislike boxes that are too big!

This has big box 2 and catapult, sheep and hills, bridges, and dragon fairy

Do you like it?

The castel gave me 132 point (i have my big on it)

I made it with the help of another player (i join it without her consent)

I still manage tonnot win the game (the winner have a 12 caste field

Was a lot of fun and slightly confusing keeping track of all the different rules and effects.

Yellow 371 points after scoring

Green 236 points after scoring

Which expansions should we buy next? We're open to recommendations

I made all of the tiles magnetic (attached magnet sheet to the back of each one) so I can rearrange them and make fun shapes. I had an extra copy so I used a bunch of the tiles for this. I just love making maps :)

Another holiday, another challenge to play. Made it work! Played the river (1+2) then cantered it over the tables. From that point, if the tile won’t stay on the table, it can’t be played.
