Description
Mists over Carcassonne is a co-operative version of the well-known tile-laying game Carcassonne. Working together, you place tiles and score points while trying to stop the spread of ghosts, contain haunted ground in cemeteries, and use haunted castles to your advantage. If too many ghosts are loose on the ground or you've collected too few points when the tiles run out, you lose the game. If you do manage to survive three days, you can adjust the difficulty level of the game to increase the challenge.
Mists over Carcassonne includes 45 meeples in two new types and 60 tiles that match the graphics of the 2021 edition of Carcassonne, and this game includes rules for how to incorporate material in a regular competitive game of Carcassonne.

Quotes (from this video)
- I think I can already say I would really like to try at some point just from the table presence alone.
- Honestly Cooperative games are far from my favorite type of game but I love Carcassonne so that is enough to have me quite intrigued if I have an opportunity to try this one.

Quotes (from this video)
- You can add and take away uh the amount of rules that you use on the cards and stuff to make it a little bit easier. So, I feel like you can kind of scale this as well.
- And it's just super fun. And uh I think the fact that it's just purely a puzzle game is also going to be easier to get into than like a lot of theme.
- Turnip is a uh a little card game that is all about like bluffing.
- It's also got weird like Renaissance art, but with carrots and bunnies. It's very cute.
- This one you just have a tile in the center of the table and you start building out the map as you go. That's really unique.
- And because you're working together, you get the satisfaction of like building out tiles so the landscape makes sense and adding some strategy, but the ability to talk about what you think is best uh in a cooperative way.
- So, if I'm thinking for a new W gamer, um, man, I think I'm gonna pick it. This might be a little too heavy, but I'm gonna go for it.
- We each have a couple of co-op options I think is always useful.
- Like you said, which of these lists do you prefer as a way to, you know, bring someone deeper into the hobby and show them some new stuff that maybe they've never seen before?
