# Carcassonne tile draw order & counter | BoardShuffle

Shuffle the 72 Carcassonne tiles into a draw order with a tile counter, optional River expansion and equal piles, plus a shareable code.

## How to use the Carcassonne tool

- Choose whether to include the River and whether to use equal piles.
- Generate a shuffled tile draw order and prepare the tiles accordingly.
- Use the tile counter as you draw and keep the share code if you want to replay the order.

This helper manages tile order and counts for the 72-tile base game and optional River. Tile placement and scoring stay with the players.

## What this setup tool prepares

Carcassonne setup randomization is about tile draw order, not deciding where players will place tiles. This helper prepares a shuffled order and can divide that order into piles while keeping a tile counter available. It supports the base-game tiles and optional River, making it useful for a group that wants to preserve or compare the same sequence of draws.

## Before you start playing

Choose whether to include the River and how many piles to prepare before generating. Match the physical tile set to those choices and keep the order private if knowing future draws would change play. Use the counter as tiles are drawn; all placement decisions and scoring remain with the players.

Free to use, with no account required. Use your physical game components and the rulebook for the complete rules.
