Story: On 14 July; the national holiday in France; the sheep; chickens and cows are set free in the town of Carcassonne. The children have great fun to catch the animals before dusk.

In Carcassonne Junior; a.k.a. My First Carcassonne; the players in turn draw a landscape tile and place it; unlike in normal Carcassonne; they always match. Amongst other features; the tiles show children in the player colors on the roads. Whenever a road is finished; every player places one of their meeples on each appropriate picture.

The first player who manages to place all of their meeples wins.
