Carcassonne: Inns and Cathedrals is the first expansion that appeared for the famous tile-placement game Carcassonne, and probably the most notable, as it includes the game pieces necessary to increase the number of players.
The first Carcassonne expansion includes new tiles, rules, and most importantly, the pieces needed to increase the number of players to a maximum of six. The other expansions already include the additional pieces for this sixth player, but it is necessary to have Inns and Cathedrals to make it possible to play.
The new rules of Inns and Cathedrals include the inns on the roads, which increase the value of the roads, and the cathedrals, which triple the value of cities if players manage to close them. However, they increase the risk, as a city that includes a cathedral and is not completed will not grant any points.
Carcassonne: Inns and Cathedrals is a fundamental expansion within the vast universe of Carcassonne and the most essential of them, as it incorporates the pieces needed to increase the number of players. The more players, the more fun in Carcassonne!
