A clever tile-laying game. The southern French city of Carcassonne is famous for its unique Roman and Medieval fortifications. The players develop the area around Carcassonne and deploy their followers on the roads, in the cities, in the cloisters and in the fields. The skill of the players to best develop the area will determine who is victorious.
This one-page sheet outlines all of the things that happen on a player's turn when playing the Carcassonne Big Box (2008 edition) with all of the expansions in play.
The first time my family played with all of the expansions at once, it was easy for the kids to forget all of their options, or for us adults to forget the "order of operations", so I printed this up to have handy as a reminder. (And it's still useful even if you're not playing every expansion...)
By request, here is a single printable sheet including 72 tiles to make your own Carcassonne Dice as in the picture below:

You'll need 1 sheet of sticker paper, a printer, 12 one-inch wooden cubes, and a guillotine paper cutter (for best results).
The tiles on the Carcassonne dice that I made match up around each cube except for one. I did not map out which tiles I put on each cube. Think of it as 12 six-piece puzzles, or just stick them on in any order that you'd like.
I have no official rules to play with dice, so you may use them however you'd like. Generally, though, I roll them and try to match them up in a 3x4 grid and then I add together points for all the finished roads and cities. I count the tiles on the side...
Tile sized double-sided reference card. You can glue onto both sides of a piece of cardboard. Handy for new players, travel versions, or for those of you with older instruction manuals and confused how the scoring goes these days.
The scoring is the latest I gathered from the 2008 rulebook from riograndegames.com and wikipedia.
Please make any suggestions or corrections.
This includes a Reference Sheet with a quick description of what everything is in the game and its expansions. There's also a Turn Overview which shows you everything that you can do on a single turn, and it tells you which expansion each option comes from.
This fan-made expansion includes 6 new tiles that features staircases on the city pieces. These stairs have the ability to increase or decrease the value of a when it gets scored. See rules for details (also included in zip file).
This expansion adds 12 new tiles for you to print out and add to the game. 6 tiles feature barriers, which are similar to the Abbey tiles from the Abbey & Mayor expansion. These barriers may be played against any tile feature (city, field or road). The other 6 tiles include city walls which can only be placed against cities. The city walls help to close off cities, but when you're scoring the city, you may not include the tile that only has a city wall on it.
