Carcassonne - The River is a digital adaptation of the classic tile-placement board game Carcassonne, enhanced with an additional river expansion. Players draw and place tiles to build a medieval landscape, featuring cities, roads, and fields, while strategically placing their followers (or "meeples") to score points. Players take turns drawing tiles from a random stack and placing them on the board to create a landscape, ensuring that terrain types (e.g., roads, cities) match at the edges. The game introduces a special river tile set that acts as a starting point, allowing players to expand the landscape in a linear fashion and adding strategic depth as they connect their tiles to the river. Players score points by completing cities, roads, and fields, with the game calculating scores automatically after each tile placement based on the current state of the board. The game includes options to play against AI opponents with varying difficulty levels, allowing for single-player gameplay or cooperative play with friends.
