The city of Carcassonne in southern France is famous for its unique Roman and Medieval fortifications. The players take their chances with their followers in the cities, cloisters, farms and on the roads around Carcassonne. The development of the land is in their hands, and the skillful deployment of the followers as thieves, knights, monks and farmers is the path to success.

Carcassonne is a clever tile-laying game for 2 to 6 players aged 8 and above by Klaus-Jürgen Wrede originally released by Hans im Glück in 2000. Since then, there have been countless expansions and variants to this timeless classic. This document is a collection of official rules, published variants, and house rules. We have handpicked what we consider to be the best expansion rules and variants and collected them here to produce a very interactive game utilizing a significant amount of expansion material.

This thread will be locked and periodically expanded and upgraded to be used as a handy reference for running games of MEGA-Carcassonne.
