Carcassonne: Winter-Edition – Der Lebkuchenmann

About this expansion

Carcassonne: Winter-Edition – Der Lebkuchenmann is a 2012 promotional addition for 2–5 players, with a play time of about 30 minutes. It is playable only with the Winter-Edition of Carcassonne and adds a festive gingerbread man to the game.

This mini-expansion consists of six new tiles, a wooden gingerbread man token, and the rules needed to use them. Whenever one of these new tiles is placed, the gingerbread man moves, creating a special event during the ongoing game.

As the gingerbread man leaves a city, he leaves gifts for the knights of that city. His visits bring a distinct seasonal touch to the familiar Carcassonne setting, with the promise that everyone should receive some treats before the game is over.

• Six new tiles
• A wooden gingerbread man token
• Rules for moving the gingerbread man when the new tiles are placed
• Gifts for knights in the city from which the gingerbread man exits

Because this item is designed specifically for the Winter-Edition, it serves as a focused add-on rather than a standalone game. The new tiles and moving token provide the central feature, while the gifts and treats reinforce its playful winter theme.

Carcassonne: Winter-Edition – Der Lebkuchenmann debuted as a promotional item at Spiel 2012. For players using the Winter-Edition, it offers a compact way to add a gingerbread-themed element to their Carcassonne sessions.
