The Taiwan rules suggest to use 125-130 tiles including the same expansions as the other maps, so this seems to be a mistake. This represents (72 + 18 + 24 =) 114 tiles, as indicated by the original rules for Carcassonne Maps - Germany. You start your game by placing your first tile next to these tiles. Take the starting tile (with the darker backside) and one or 2 random tiles and place all of them on 2 to 3 start-squares. You should start with at least 2 start-squares. On each square there is a small town and they are marked with a red edging. There are several start-squares on each map. Rules Preparation Setting up European Maps Meeples: If possible, each player should play with 9 instead of 7 meeples (+ 1 meeple on the scoring board).USA West + USA East: 220-240 tiles (You will need twice as many tiles.).Iberian Peninsula (Península Ibérica): 110-120 tiles.

The number of tiles recommended for each map differs: It is better to play without the additional rules and meeples of the expansions and to use only the tiles. For each map there is a recommendation of a number of tiles to be used. Players can combine everything they want to try.

Tiles: It is recommended to play with the basic game tiles and the first and second expansions, that is, Exp.

HiG suggest some rules variations, but encourage players to design their own too.

In 2022, HiG released the map of Ukraine.Ĭarcassonne Maps provide a variant for the new edition that offers players a new possibility to play Carcassonne by placing tiles on a map. These maps include the names of the cities in Chinese, so they are an adapted version of the original ones. In 2022, Swan Panasia also released the other 7 maps available from HiG. They were followed by two more maps in 2020: USA East and USA West.Īdditionally, Swan Panasia released the map of Taiwan in 2021. Later the same year, additional maps were released: Benelux, France, Great Britain and the Iberian Peninsula (titled Península Ibérica).
