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

In My First Carcassonne, each player in turn draw a landscape tile and places it but unlike in normal Carcassonne, they always match. Amongst other features, the tiles show children in the player colours on the roads. Whenever a road is finished, every player places one of his meeples on each appropriate picture.

The first player who manages to place all of his meeples wins the game.
