A simple but comprehensive guide to beating your friends at Carcassonne.

Carcassonne Strategy Guide

If you can't score points, mess up their plans. Put tiles that make it impossible for them to finish their cities or roads. This traps their followers and stops them from scoring.

Blocking Enemy Features

Followers are limited, you only get 7 of them. Use them wisely.

Follower Management

When someone builds a larger city, try to merge with it. This lets you share points (or even steal them).

Merging (Joining)

Use a 3-edge or 4-edge city tiles to sabotage an opponent's city, so it has more open edges.

Sabotaging

Strategies (Intermediate)

One step after blocking is trapping - making it impossible for them to finish their feature.
