Depends on your group
- Our take
- Abbey & Mayor is solid but not essential. Get it after the first few expansions if you want more meeple options.
- What you need first
- Just the base game
Carcassonne · Expansion
Abbey & Mayor
- What it adds
- 12 tiles, abbey tiles to fill holes, plus mayor, wagon and barn pieces.
- What it fixes
- Makes hard-to-finish features easier to close.
