The expansion offers new challenges to the many fans of Carcassonne. Add a cathedral and triple the value of a city. The Inn doubles the value of a road, but only when completed. There is a new large follower for each player to use, doubling her chances of controlling a city, road, or field.

Also included is all necessary material to allow a sixth player to join in the fun. Finally, there are 6 point tiles to make scoring easier once players have accumulated more than 50 points.
