Carcassonne Expansion 3 – Dragon and Fairy (2025 Redesign)

Description

Carcassonne — Dragon & Fairy (2025 Redesign) Expansion

Introduce magic, menace and map‑shifting tactics to your Carcassonne games with the Dragon & Fairy expansion. Outsmart a roaming dragon, call the fairy for protection, and use mystical portals to reclaim lost features — all while expanding your tactical choices on the board. Available from Mind Games — Australia’s oldest and best games store, founded 1977.

Highlights

• Adds fantasy elements that change how you place tiles and contest areas: a hungry Dragon prowls the map, a protective Fairy can shield your followers, and magical portals let you recover lost features.
• New strategic layers: avoid the dragon’s path, time the fairy’s protection, or exploit portals to turn opponents’ gains into your advantage.

Contents

• 26 Land Tiles to expand the playing field with fresh placement options
• 1 Source tile and 1 Lake tile that interact with the new mechanics
• 1 Dragon meeple — moves after tiles are placed, threatening followers and features
• 1 Fairy meeple — grants protection and strategic timing opportunities
