There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Possibly the best part about this expansion, though, are the new tiles. While they don't quite match the other tiles I have (the color saturation is noticeably off, which was probably a printing error), the tiles are interesting and new, including a tile that has two shields on it! Other fun tiles include a city-ender with a shield, additional weird city-over-city tiles (see picture; it's hard to describe), and a roundabout road that turns your road into three continuous prongs and make for absurdly long roads and fun competition over Inns (if combining this with the Inns & Cathedrals expansion). I'm really into diversity of tiles, so that bops this expansion right up to 5 stars for me. I'm including a picture of most of the landscape tiles so that anyone else interested in diverse tiles can see what I mean.
The wagons are interesting, too. You can use a wagon to claim a feature like a meeple, and once that feature finishes, the wagon can be moved to an adjacent, unclaimed feature. A simple, but sometimes fun mechanism.
That said, I just didn't get into the Mayor or the barns, which create city and farm complications, respectively. (I'll let other reviewers explain these mechanisms, so that you can decide for yourself on these.)

This expansion adds 4 new and interesting mechanics to the game:
ABBEY. Each player is given an "Abbey" tile. It is essentially a monastery tile accept that all 4 sides are walled. This tile can only be placed when their is a "hole" in the board, i.e. an empty space surrounded by all 4 sides orthogonally. It matters not what structures are around it, it fills in the space. You can place a follower on it and it is scored the same way as a monastery. It solves the problem of what to do with those annoying empty spots.
MAYOR. This is a slightly larger meeple, whose shape has earned him the nickname of Mayor Fattypants. on many websites. It can be placed in a city like any other follower, however, the mayor is equivalent to how many banners are in the city, e.g. if there are 3 banners in the city the mayor is equal to 3 meeples.
BARN. This meeple can be placed where 4 field corners meet. Upon placing, all farmers in the adjoining fields are scored immediately. At the end of the game, the barn receives 4 points per completed city that the fields touch.
WAGON. This meeple can be placed like any other meeple with the added ability that once the feature is completed, instead of being removed, it can "roll" to the next adjacent uncompleted feature.
All in all, this expansion adds some useful and neat tricks that help add to the enjoyment of the game.
However, if you play Carcassonne with just 2 or 3 players, you may find that Abbeys and Wagons are more your favorite weapons in this expansion. Abbeys allow you to fill in holes in the board--sometimes trapping an opponent's Meeple for the remainder of the game. In addition, the Wagons can give you an extra move--which when you only have 1 or 2 opponents, can be very important. With only 2 players, we rarely, if ever, find a use for the Mayor or the Barn.
Either way, the expansions tiles are a great extension of the game and add a lot of new dimension to the base game. This is one of the better expansions, though it benefits players in different ways depending on how many players are playing. Sometimes, some of the components are useless in games with less players.
