Mists Over Carcassonne - Cooperative Tile-Laying Game | 1-5 Players | Ages 8+ | ~45 Min | Z-Man Games

Experience Mists Over Carcassonne, a cooperative reimagining of the tile-laying classic. The game invites you to build a shared map block by block, guided by six escalating levels that introduce new ideas and tighter decisions. As you lay a tile, you and your teammates plot where to place meeples, aiming to extend safe zones while ghosts drift across haunted spots. The atmosphere is tactile and tactile: smooth tiles click into place, wooden meeples stand ready, and the art fosters a subtle sense of misty mystery that unfolds as the board grows.

How it works

On your turn, you place a tile and decide where to position your meeples to balance progress and protection. Ghosts appear with varying intensity, challenging your planning and communication. Your team pursues a predetermined goal tile by scoring points, but you must manage the haunting before the tile supply runs out. Because the game is fully cooperative, players share information openly and coordinate their moves for the best chance at success.

• Six guided levels gradually reveal mechanics, making entry smooth for newcomers and rewarding for fans of the base game.
• Step-by-step explanations and escalating challenges help you grow comfortable with the strategy and timing required.

• Ideal for family nights or casual play with friends, supporting 1–5 players and suitable for ages 8 and up.
• Average playtime around 45 minutes makes it a flexible option for multiple sessions in a single evening.
