{"product_id":"carcassonne","title":"Carcassonne","description":"\u003cp\u003eCarcassonne is a tile-placement game in which the players draw and place a tile with a piece of southern French landscape on it. The tile might feature a city, a road, a cloister, grassland or some combination thereof, and it must be placed adjacent to tiles that have already been played, in such a way that cities are connected to cities, roads to roads, etcetera. Having placed a tile, the player can then decide to place one of his meeples on one of the areas on it: on the city as a knight, on the road as a robber, on a cloister as a monk, or on the grass as a farmer. When that area is complete, that meeple scores points for its owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring a game of Carcassonne, players are faced with decisions like: \"Is it really worth putting my last meeple there?\" or \"Should I use this tile to expand my city, or should I place it near my opponent instead, giving him a hard time to complete his project and score points?\" Since players place only one tile and have the option to place one meeple on it, turns proceed quickly even if it is a game full of options and possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFirst game in the Carcassonne series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAWARDS \u0026amp; HONORS\n\u003cbr\u003e2012 Ludo Award Best Board Game Editor's Choice Winner\n\u003cbr\u003e2004 Vuoden Peli Family Game of the Year Winner\n\u003cbr\u003e2004 Vuoden Peli Family Game of the Year Nominee\n\u003cbr\u003e2004 Hra roku Nominee\n\u003cbr\u003e2002 Årets Spel Best Family Game Winner\n\u003cbr\u003e2001 Spiel des Jahres Winner\n\u003cbr\u003e2001 Spiel des Jahres Nominee\n\u003cbr\u003e2001 Spiel der Spiele Hit mit Freunden Recommended\n\u003cbr\u003e2001 Nederlandse Spellenprijs Nominee\n\u003cbr\u003e2001 International Gamers Awards - General Strategy; Multi-player Nominee\n\u003cbr\u003e2001 Deutscher Spiele Preis Best Family\/Adult Game Winner\n\u003cbr\u003e2000 Meeples' Choice Award\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 681706781006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Klaus-Jurgen Wrede\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Z-Man Games\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display:none\"\u003e006 1006 81006 781006\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Batner Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43934196432984,"sku":"ZMG78100","price":55.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/7564\/3992\/files\/carcassonne.jpg?v=1775052813","url":"https:\/\/batnerbookstore.com\/products\/carcassonne","provider":"Batner Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
