Carcassonne: Shepherds & Vineyards – Expansion 9 is a thematic board game expansion from 999 Games that brings shepherds, hills and vineyards to the countryside—and adds a tense push-your-luck twist.
Why choose this board game expansion?
Place a shepherd in your field and draw from the flock bag: more sheep means more points, but a wolf wipes your flock—shear (score) in time to bank your haul. Hills break ties in your favor, and vineyards boost adjacent monasteries/gardens for extra points. The rules remain approachable while timing, risk and positioning matter more. Ideal for families and hobby gamers who want elegant interaction and fresh scoring lines, fully compatible with other Carcassonne modules.
- Push-your-luck with shepherds and a flock bag of sheep/wolves
