They’re back in print and back in stock – Carcassonne Mini Expansions!
Carcassonne Mini’s
Z-Man Games
  1. Carcassonne:
    The Flier
     –
    eight
    landscape tiles showing a pair of wings are mixed with the other tiles to be
    used in the game.  As flying enthusiasts, the players want to actualize
    mankind’s dream of flying by trying their wings.  Flight length and landing
    places can be troublesome.
  2. Carcassonne:
    The Messages
     
    eight
    message tiles and six new followers. Players gain a second scoring meeple to aid
    in securing messages.  Messages and grant additional points for smallest road,
    city or cloister, banners in a city, or knights… many possibilities. You may
    even get to draw and play an additional tile.
  3. Carcassonne:
    The Ferries
     eight
    landscape tiles and eight ferries.  Some roads around
    Carcassonne
    lead to small lakes.  In these places ferries are operated to connect the roads
    on one side of the lake to the roads on the other side.  These present new
    opportunities for the players.
  4. Carcassonne:
    The Goldmines
     – eight landscape tiles and sixteen gold bars. Gold!  The excitement is huge and
    many come to acquire the precious metal for themselves.  At the end, all will
    settle their accounts.
  5. Carcassonne:
    Mage & Witch
     
     – eight
    landscape tiles and two wooden figures.  Magical people visit the county of
    Carcassonne.  While the
    power of the mage brings extra value for roads and cities, the inhabitants view
    the abilities of the witch rather distrustfully.
  6. Carcassonne:
    The Robber
     
     – eight
    landscape tiles and six wooden robbers.  Gangs of robbers are on the way and
    require their tribute. When followers score points, the robbers take some
    points for themselves.
