The Carcassonne Board Game, designed by Klaus-Jürgen Wrede and released in 2000, has garnered notable acclaim, including the Spiel des Jahres and Deutscher Spiele Preis awards. The game’s historical context is rooted in the medieval town of Carcassonne in southern France, recognized for its remarkable fortified walls. The iconic "meeples" have since become synonymous with European board gaming culture.
