This basically gives you some bonus points for knights, farmers, and monks, if you pick a tile with a wheel of fortune symbol on it.

Carcassonne Maps
With Carcassonne Maps, HiG offer a new possibility to play Carcassonne. It is designed for the New Edition.
You can use your tiles and meeples in a country, build cities with real names and influence the course of important roads. There are also new ways to score points, for example by scoring a large city or by connecting roads to neighboring countries.
The map consists of high-quality, strong, linen-embossed paper and has the size A1. The map is delivered rolled up and the purchaser is recommended to flatten it by 'bending against' before use or to press it flat again under a few books. Alternatively, it can also be attached to the table with a removable adhesive tape (crepe, for example). The latter also has the advantage that it is not moved accidentally.
The map requires players to use their own game material from the base game and some major expansions, so it is not a standalone product but a complement to play a variant of the base game with extra tiles.
Current maps:
- Benelux
- France
- Germany (Deutschland)
- Great Britain
- Iberian Peninsula (Península Ibérica)
- USA East
- USA West
Map-Chips expansions
Additionally, HiG released Map-Chips, an expansion for Carcassonne Maps. Map-Chips, using the same tokens, provide an expansion with a different set of rules for each map. In France players will press wine, whereas Benelux players may pick face-up tiles stacked on islands. On the Iberian Peninsula, players go geocaching; on the British Isles, players might play twice as fast; and, in Germany, players have the possibility to upgrade their meeples.

Winter Digital Download
In 2011, prior to the release of Winter Carcassonne, this was made available for download, for personal 'print and play', from the Hans im Glück web site.

This edition contained the standard set of 72 tiles and standard rules. Once Winter Carcassonne was released in 2012, the download version was withdrawn.

Published 2001
From the publisher's website:
In Carcassonne, players build the area surrounding this impressive city, one tile at a time. They then place a follower on fields, cities, roads or monasteries in order to score as many points as possible. These followers will become knights, monks, farmers and thieves, depending on where they are placed. No matter their function, the player who will most cleverly use their followers will win the game.
