Product Description
This 2nd expansion takes Carcassonne to new dimensions of fun and excitement. Traders can earn players extra points and builders enable players to place extra tiles, allowing the cities and roads to grow faster. A pig, properly placed, can enrich the value of a farm. Also included is a small cloth bag for the tiles, making it easier to shuffle and draw them during the game. Traders & Builders is not a complete game, but must be played with Carcassonne.

I needed it fast, so I paid for the two day shipping. I didn't get it for over a week because Amazon decided to send it through the US Postal Office. Thanks a ton.
Great product though.
Great Expansion January 20, 2009

We play the Traders and Builders expansion every time we play Carcassonne. We enjoy the new tiles and the new rules/pieces adds a little more strategy (and fun) to the game.
Not too Catanish. November 24, 2008

One of my more favorite expansions.. It does have a "commodities" element which I first feared would make it too much like resources in Settlers, but it is totally different.
Great! August 17, 2008

My husband and I really enjoy this game because it is fun and two can play. We can also have friends over and have the same amount of fun. Great game!
Great expansion - *almost* a must-have, adds more backstabbing to the game June 30, 2008

This is a good expansion for Carcassonne (you *cannot* play this as a stand-alone game, you *must* have Carcassonne already!)
Each color (including gray) gets two new meeples, a "pig" and a "builder". The pig is added to a farm for +1 point for every city (regardless of whether you're playing with the new rules or the old ones). The builder is added to a city or road that you already possess, and allows you to take an extra turn (no more than one extra turn-per-turn) every time you add a tile to said city or road. (Oh, it's great fun to close somebody's city for them right after they added their builder, thus robbing them of their chance to get their extra turn!)
There also are many cities with 'trade goods' in them - cloth, wine, or grain. The person who completes a city with trade goods in them - not necessarily the person who owns that city - gets the goods. At the end of the game, the person with the most in each good gets extra points. Oh, is it ever fun to close somebody's city and get a sweet, sweet reward!
