The Abbot is very determined to use every inch of space for his monks and build his abbey walls right on the property line.)Ģ. The Abbey "terminates" but does not "complete" the city/road. Do I score point(s) for the Abbey tile when calculating the score of the road or city? Certainly in the case of the abbey being scored as a "super cloister" it counts as one of the tiles, but it is not clear how to score it for roads and cities. I have noted in each case our current "house rule" but would appreciate feedback or more authoritative ruling.ġ. argued about!) when placing an Abbey tile to complete a city or road, if the Abbey tile contains no city or road "space" as noted above in this thread. There are some questions we have discovered (i.e. That was everything I could think of - can anyone think of anything else? So, the sixth expansion is also confirmed, and it sounds to me like it should include The Cathars - cool! Q13: Can a follower be moved from Carcassonne City to a farm with a barn - and if so, how many points does a player earn (1 or 3)?Ī: Yes, that is allowed: the farmer will then be scored immediately, and so scores only 1 point per city and is (importantly) not on the farm during the final scoring proper. Q12: When an abbey tile is placed, can a follower be deployed next to the abbey (as a knight, for example), as it is possible to do with a cloister? Or does the whole tile count as the abbey and so only monks can be deployed to it?Ī: No, the abbey covers the whole tile. Q11: In the case of the tile with the well and three 'roads': do all the 'roads' have to be completed before scoring? We have to rule out various problems here… In this respect more is on its way - in the next expansion (really just a collection of the mini-expansions) there will also be 'places of worship' which have a close connection to cloisters. Q10: Can a knight in a besieged city escape via an abbey, or only via a cloister?Ī: Yes: the abbey has all the characteristics of a cloister. Q9: Can the mayor, the wagon, or the barn be placed on top of a tower?Ī: No, the deployment of these figures is limited to the features described in the rules. Q8: Does the pig-herd tile still score an extra point (barn = 4 points, barn+pig-herd = 5 points per city)?Ī: The pig-herd tile only counts in connection with farmers, not the barn. Q7: Does a player still score double points for a besieged city if it lies on a farm with a barn? Q6: Can the mayor, the wagon and the barn use a magic portal? Q5: Can the mayor and the wagon (or the barn) be placed in the appropriate quarter of Carcassonne City? Q4: Can the mayor and the wagon be eaten by the dragon, captured by the tower, or seduced by a princess?Ī: Also following question 1: Yes (at which point the question of what the princess does with the wagon arises…) Q3: Can the fairy be placed next to the barn and if so, does the player score a bonus point each turn and 3 extra points during scoring?Ī: Following question 1: No, because the barn is not a follower. The dragon would eat the immediately and the tower is always on its own feature (the tower foundation). The fairy normally stands next to a follower (except when the follower is taken prisoner) and so the feature would already be occupied. Q2: According to the rules, "no other figure" may be in same feature as the wagon - does that include the fairy, the dragon and tower pieces (because they're all figures)?Ī: We didn't pay enough attention here (damn!): instead of "figure" it should read "follower". In principle all followers can be eaten or captured, while the special figures cannot. The barn is a special figure, although it can also be counted as a follower.Īs far as the wagon is concerned, I'm a little uncertain, but I'd nevertheless count it as a follower. The mayor is a follower, subject to the usual rules of deployment and affects the majority. Q1: What is the status of the mayor, the barn and the wagon? Are they followers or 'special figures' like the builder and the pig? So, I got a response from HiG this morning to a bunch of questions I asked, and here they are:
