Carcassonne: The Tower
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Tower adds a capture mechanic to Carcassonne that introduces direct competition for the first time. Players can build towers on foundation tiles, using their height to capture opponents' meeples within range — holding them for ransom or trading them back for points. It's a more aggressive expansion that changes how cautiously you place your followers.
Each turn you can spend a tile to add a floor to any existing tower, extending its reach. Captured meeples are removed from the board until ransomed for 3 victory points, which can swing the game significantly in tight matches. The expansion also includes a cardboard tile tower dispenser to keep your tile stack organised.
What's good?
- Capture mechanic adds direct player interaction rarely seen in Carcassonne
- Tower height creates a risk/reward dynamic around meeple placement
- Tile tower dispenser is a useful quality-of-life addition for any game
- Ransom system keeps captured players engaged
Who is it for?
- ✔ Players who want more conflict and interaction in Carcassonne
- ✔ Groups who enjoy take-that mechanics alongside tile placement
- ✖ Players who prefer the cooperative, low-conflict feel of the base game
- ✖ Not a standalone — requires the Carcassonne base game
Requires Carcassonne (any edition) to play. Compatible with all other Carcassonne expansions.

from 35 reviewsI bought this game after reading reviews online and wasn’t disappointed, I’m now thinking about buying a few more copies as Christmas presents!!
Fast and well packaged. Brilliant free add-on to one of the best newest ttrpg
Quick Delivery, easy transaction
Had never heard of Life of games before but it was suggested by Shop app. What a good suggestion it was. The item arrived very well packed and in good time. The product itself is awesome and I feel was a good bargain too.
I would and have recommended already to friends.
Definitely a store to keep an eye on.
Thanks again. Will use again in the future for sure.
Brilliant little game. Very easy to play, very silly. Perfect to take traveling or the pub
Great place to buy from, speedy delivery, great prices. Excellent

Great service. Ian’s packed with extreme care, individually wrapped in packaging and boxed carefully. Will definitely use again.
Fantastic to do business with
Great delivery and quality as usual.
fantastic packaging and arrived very quicky
Super speedy delivery
A great game, with short rounds, suitable for our 6 year old and even our 3 yeah old (with a bit of help). The unlock progression really helps bring in new rules and challenges, without overwhelming everyone from the very first game.
It’s not that easy finding a game that my dyslexic ADHD 10yr old son enjoys but this one ticks all his boxes! We love it!!
Fantastic price, swift delivery & EXTREMELY well packaged, which in the age of Amazon has become a forgotten art. Game arrived without a single dent or ding. Perfection & thank you.
