What this is
In Carcassonne: Hunters and Gatherers, players hunt, fish, and gather in this Stone Age version of the tile-laying classic. As in other Carcassonne games, players take turns placing tiles to create the landscape and placing meeples to score points from the map they're creating. It includes many of the familiar mechanics from Carcassonne with a few new rules, including: - A player who completes a forest with a gold nugget in it gets to immediately draw and place a tile.
