Travel Carcassonne*

Travel Carcassonne (Reise-Carcassonne) offers the beloved Carcassonne experience in a compact, travel-friendly format. This edition is designed for fans of the game who wish to take their tile-laying adventures on the road. While maintaining the core rules and gameplay of the original Carcassonne, the Travel Edition introduces several adaptations to suit its portable nature.

Key Features and Changes

  • Compact Size: The tiles in the Travel Edition are smaller than those in the standard game, making it easier to play in limited spaces, such as on trains, planes, or at small cafe tables.
  • Selected Expansion Compatibility: Despite its reduced tile size, the game can still be enhanced with specific expansions, including The Phantom, the Big Meeple (by using standard meeples from the regular game), the Little Buildings, The Messenger, The Land Surveyors, and the Pig expansions.
  • Innovative Scoring Method: The game includes a bag for storing tiles that also serves as a scoring table, printed directly on it. In the 2012 reprint edition, the scoring table is printed on the back of the box due to the absence of Le Sac.
  • Updated Farm Scoring: Adopts the current, Third Edition farm scoring rules as defined by Hans im Glück, providing clarity and consistency with the most recent interpretations of farm scoring.

Conclusion

Travel Carcassonne is an excellent solution for Carcassonne enthusiasts looking to enjoy the game while away from home. Its compact design and thoughtful adaptations make it an ideal travel companion without sacrificing the depth and strategy of the original game. Whether you're exploring new lands in real life or expanding territories on the game board, Travel Carcassonne ensures that the joy of Carcassonne is never far from hand. This edition is a testament to the game's enduring appeal and versatility, offering a seamless way to bring the classic tile-laying game to any destination.
