Carcassonne: Gold Rush

Build a Wild West landscape by placing square tiles to extend prairies, rivers, railways and mining sites. Place pioneers, tents and other followers on features to score points for cattle drives, trade, rail connections and gold claims; adjacency and timing affect who controls a site and who collects nuggets. Tiles and meeples interact as players compete for mines where discovery can yield valuable gold or worthless fool’s gold, and rail and settlement networks score at completion.
