{"product_id":"carcassonne-jousts-crests-expansion","title":"Carcassonne: Jousts \u0026 Crests Expansion","description":"\u003ch2\u003eNew Rivalries on the Carcassonne Landscape\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eJousts \u0026amp; Crests brings a fresh layer of competition to the beloved tile-laying classic. Beyond the familiar rhythms of roads, cities, and farms, this expansion introduces a tournament system where players nominate champions, compete for glory, and earn lasting recognition in the form of victory statues. It's a compact but meaningful addition that adds push-your-luck tension and player interaction without overcomplicating the game you already love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe expansion includes 9 new Land Tiles that integrate seamlessly with the base Carcassonne map, expanding the play area while introducing joust locations where rivalries unfold. Six sets of 5 emblems — one set per player colour — represent your nominated champions and track your tournament standing. When a joust is won, a statue tile marks the victory on the board, a tangible reminder of your dominance that also carries scoring weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow It Changes the Game\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eJousts \u0026amp; Crests layers a metagame of nomination and risk on top of Carcassonne's established mechanics. Choosing which champion to back, and when, creates meaningful decisions that ripple through the session. The statue rewards add a new scoring vector without invalidating the core strategies veterans have spent years refining. It plays well as a standalone addition or alongside other Carcassonne expansions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho Will Love This\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis expansion is ideal for Carcassonne regulars who want fresh decisions without a steep learning curve, and for groups who enjoy player interaction and rivalry alongside the game's signature spatial puzzle. It's also a thoughtful gift for anyone who already owns the base game and is ready for their next layer of Carcassonne depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHans im Glück\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExpansion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase Game Required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarcassonne\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLand Tiles Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEmblem Sets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 sets of 5 emblems\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Hans im Glück","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44387052552280,"sku":"HIGCARC08EN","price":24.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/4980\/8728\/files\/s-l1600_f2f21d85-1de9-4cc9-8dd9-4d19b137923d.jpg?v=1784161703","url":"https:\/\/borealgaming.com\/products\/carcassonne-jousts-crests-expansion","provider":"Boreal Gaming \u0026 Cards","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
