Carcassonne Hunters and Gatherers (Danish)

Carcassonne: Hunters and Gatherers is a standalone game in the Carcassonne series set in the Stone Age. Just like in other Carcassonne games, players take turns placing tiles to build a landscape and score points by placing their meeples (pieces) on the board. The game ends when the player with the most points wins.

In this version, there are forests, rivers, lakes, and meadows instead of cities, roads, and fields. Meeples function differently depending on where they are placed: hunters in meadows, gatherers in forests, or fishermen by rivers. Players also have huts that they can place by rivers or lakes to collect fish from the entire river system.

Key Mechanics:

• Gold Nugget Bonus: When completing a forest with a gold nugget in it, you may immediately draw and place one of 12 bonus tiles called menhir tiles.
• Meadow Scoring: Meadows give 2 points for each animal present, except for tigers, which negate certain other animals.
• River Scoring: A river tile gives points for the number of tiles in the river plus the number of fish in the lakes at the end.
• Fisherman's Hut: Fisherman's huts give points at the end of the game based on the number of fish in all lakes connected by rivers.
