IMPORTANT: The Carcassonne Base Game is required to play with this expansion.
Carcassonne: Hills & Sheep is the ninth numbered expansion for the Carcassonne base game, and now players can be shepherds on the hills in addition to the usual thieves, knights, monks, and farmers. By placing the tiles in this expansion, players build hills and vineyards, trying to plan ahead to claim the sweetest meadows and score points—bringing sheep and shepherds while keeping an eye out for the wolf waiting to be drawn from among the tiles...
Each time a tile with a hill icon is added to the game area, it is placed on top of another randomly drawn tile, raising it above the game surface and creating a hill. Hill tiles are used to break ties between players: if two or more players occupy the same characteristic equally (a "shared majority"), but one of the tied players has a follower on a hill tile, that player will have an advantage over the others and score all the points for that characteristic.
Vineyards are designed to increase the importance of monasteries. Each vineyard tile placed around a monastery adds three points to that monastery's score. However, these bonus points only count if the monastery is completed, incentivizing players to sabotage their opponents' monasteries to prevent them from being finished.
Shepherds are new pieces that can only be placed in fields. Each time a player expands the field occupied by their shepherd, they have two options: 1. Draw a sheep token from a bag and place it next to their shepherd; or 2. Exchange all your accumulated sheep for points. Each sheep token is worth 1 to 4 points, depending on the number of sheep it represents. However, hidden among the sheep tokens are two wolf tokens. If a player draws one of these, all their sheep are lost and returned to the bag. This introduces a "push-your-chuck" element to Carcassonne, as players can choose to cash in the sheep they have or try to add more and risk losing them all.
In the Sheep and Hills expansion, become a shepherd and lead your flock across the lush plains of Carcassonne. Be careful, because wolves are hiding in the bushes and your flock looks very appetizing to them.
