Full publisher description

The eighth expansion for Carcassonne , Br cken, Burgen und Basare (English: Bridges, Castles Bazaars) allows players three new options while playing: Bridges may be used to continue a road over a field tile, thereby allowing an incomplete road to technically run into a field segment. They are otherwise treated and scored just like roads. Castle tokens are placed atop 2-segment cities and allow players a chance to cash-in on the next completed adjacent feature. Bazaars are a new type of tile that allows players to auction off tiles in exchange for points. Part of the Carcassonne series .
