Carcassonne Phantoms consists of 6 transparent phantoms in 6 colours. The purple phantom is for the gray or pink player. Each player gets a phantom of his player color. When placing a follower on a tile, the player may also place his phantom as an additional follower on the same tile. When both the follower and the phantom occupy the same tile, they must be placed on two different features. When the player gets his phantom back from scoring, he may keep it to use in a later turn. The phantom can also be placed by itself, and always counts as a regular follower.

The River II (Der Fluss II) is a mini-expansion for Carcassonne. It adds twelve tiles with a river and has some differences with the first River expansion because the tiles are designed to combine with the first three expansions for Carcassonne, Inns & Cathedrals, Traders & Builders and The Princess & the Dragon. The River II is contained in Carcassonne: Expansion 6 – Count, King & Robber The river tiles are placed first, after that the game continues as normal. Part of the Carcassonne series.

Traders & Builders expands on the popular Carcassonne base game, adding new features and opening even more ways to outwit your opponents. With the new builder follower, you can speed up construction by placing another tile immediately after you add a Land tile to a road or city that your builder occupies. Further, the pig followers and Goods tokens give you more ways to score points. The pig enhances the value of any farmers you have in the same field, while completing cities with Goods icons on them awards Goods tokens; the player with the most gains bonus points at the end of the game.
