Oorspronkelijk uitgebracht door Hans im Glück in Template:Year nl, Carcassonne: De Burcht is een spannend tegel-leg spel voor 2 spelers, vanaf 8 jaar. Het is ontworpen door Reiner Knizia en is gebaseerd op het Carcassonne spelsysteem van Klaus Jürgen Wrede.

"Het imposante silhouet van de stad Carcassonne zit als een troon in het licht van de ondergaande zon. Ridders bewaken de torens, de schildknapen wonen in huizen, kooplieden verkopen luidkeels hun waren en de herauten brengen het nieuws door de stad. Boven al deze bedrijvigheid doemt het hoge kasteel op achter zijn ondoordringbare muren."

Speelmateriaal

• 1 kasteelmuur in 10 stukken die de spelers voor elk spel als een puzzel in elkaar zetten

Het scorepad loopt over de top van de kasteelmuur. De rode pijl markeert het startpunt van de scoretrack (0). De zwarte pijlen geven de plaats aan van de startvelden voor het leggen van de kasteeltegels.

• 60 Burcht tegels

Burcht tegels:
A. Pad B. Huis C. Toren D. Hof	E. Hof met markt F. Pad met een plein (het plein verdeelt het pad in 3 delen) G. Pad met fontein (de fontein splitst het pad niet in delen)

De afbeeldingen van mensen, dieren, en uitrusting op de kasteeltegels hebben geen belang in het spel!

Achterkant van een Burchttegel

• 18 muurtegels (twee van elke afgebeelde tegel)

• 14 volgelingen in 2 kleuren, en 2 torens in 2 kleuren

Het doel

Om beurten plaatsen de spelers Burchttegels binnen de kasteelmuren. Daarbij creëren ze paden, torens, huizen en hoven, waarop ze hun volgelingen plaatsen om punten te scoren. De spelers scoren punten tijdens en aan het eind van het spel. De speler met de meeste punten aan het eind is de winnaar!

Voorbereiding

De pijlen geven aan waar de muurtegels worden geplaatst op dit gedeelte van de kasteelmuren aan het begin van het spel. Er kunnen 13 muurtegels geplaatst worden, die elk een paar velden bedekken die door een diagonale lijn van elkaar gescheiden zijn. De overige 5 muurtegels worden opzij gelegd.

Zet de kasteelmuur in elkaar, stukje voor stukje, zodat de getallen langs de bovenkant van de muur lopen van 0 tot 99.

Schud de 60 Burcht tegels met de afbeeldingen naar beneden en leg ze in stapels buiten de kasteelmuren op tafel, binnen het bereik van de spelers.

Schudt de 18 muurtegels met de afbeeldingen naar beneden. Leg op elke hoektoren van de kasteelmuur (behalve hoektoren "0/1") een muurtegel blind neer. Niet-gebruikte muurtegels leg je zonder ze te bekijken met de afbeelding naar beneden in de doos. Zij worden niet gebruikt in het spel.

Elke speler kiest een kleur en neemt de 7 volgelingen en keep in die kleur en plaatst 1 volger als scoremarker op veld 0 van het scorespoor. Elke speler zet zijn overblijvende volgelingen en keep in zijn speelveld (het gebied op de tafel voor hem). De spelers beslissen onderling wie het spel begint.

Spelverloop

De spelers zijn om beurten aan de beurt, te beginnen met de startspeler. Als een speler aan de beurt is, voert hij de volgende acties uit in de onderstaande volgorde :-

1. De speler moet een burchttegel trekken van één van de open stapels en deze in het kasteel plaatsen.
2. De speler mag één van zijn volgelingen uit de voorraad op de zojuist gelegde tegel plaatsen.
3. Als de speler met het plaatsen van de tegel een pad, toren en/of huis heeft voltooid, moeten de spelers nu de voltooide punten tellen.
4. Als een speler na het scoren zijn scoringsvolgeling naar een hoektorenveld op de kasteelmuur heeft verplaatst, neemt hij onmiddellijk de muurtegel van dat veld, als die er nog ligt.

Trek en plaats een burchttegel

Bijvoorbeeld, de eerste tegel van het spel kan hier geplaatst worden. De volledige zijde van de tegel moet naast het startveld worden geplaatst.

Als eerste actie van een spelersbeurt moet de speler een kasteeltegel van een van de open stapels trekken. De speler moet de tegel aan zijn tegenstander laten zien (die hem eventueel kan plaatsen) door hem open in zijn speelveld te leggen. Daarna moet de speler het volgende doen :-

• De 'eerste burchttegel in het spel moet met één zijde volledig naast één van de zeven startvelden langs de burchtmuur geplaatst worden.
• Elke volgende geplaatste tegel (in de voorbeelden met een rode rand) moeten geplaatst worden met één zijde geheel naast een startveld langs de burchtmuur, of met tenminste één zijde geheel naast een eerder geplaatste tegel. Het is niet toegestaan om een tegel alleen hoek aan hoek te plaatsen, of een halve tegel op een halve tegel..
• De paden moeten altijd doorgetrokken worden als ze de rand van een tegel raken . De andere kasteelelementen (toren, huis, of hof) mogen in elke gewenste combinatie naast elkaar worden geplaatst.
• Elk onderdeel van het kasteel (pad, toren, huis, of hof) mag naast de burchtmuur geplaatst worden.
• Als er geen legale plaats is voor een getrokken tegel (en beide spelers zijn het eens) wordt de tegel in de doos gelegd (uit het spel) en trekt de speler een nieuwe tegel om te plaatsen.

Place a follower

After placing a castle tile, the player may place one of their followers. To do so :-

• a player may only place 1 follower per turn
• the player must take the follower from their supply
• the player may only place the follower on the tile just placed
• the player must choose which feature of the castle tile to place the follower on - either as a ...

	or as a		or as a		or as a
Herald on a path		Knight on a tower		Squire on a house		Merchant on a court (with or without market)

• each new castle tile can enlarge an already existing path, tower, house or court. If there is already a follower (even the player's own) on the enlarged castle feature, the player may not place a follower on that feature. It matters not how far away the other follower is. Below are examples of allowed and disallowed follower placement :-

The player may not place a squire on the enlarged house as there is already a white squire on the house. However, the player may place a knight or a merchant.

The player may not place a merchant on the enlarged court as there is already a white merchant there. However, the player may place a squire on the house.

It is possible in the course of the game, however, for there to be more than one squire on a house, more than one knight on a tower, more than one herald on a path, and more than one merchant on a court. See Connecting paths, towers, houses and courts.

If a player has no followers in their supply, the player may not place one. However, players get their followers back during the game when features are completed and scored.

If the player did not complete a path, tower, or house, the player's turn is over and the opponent takes their turn.

Scoring completed paths, towers and houses

If, by placing the castle tile, the player completed a path, tower or house, the players now score the completed feature(s). Courts are not scored during the game - they are scored at the end of the game.

A completed path

Black scores 2 points (2 castle tiles in the completed path). The path is ended by the square (A) and the castle wall (B).

A path is complete when the connected path segments end in squares, the castle walls, buildings , or when the path becomes a closed loop. There is no limit to the length of a path; it can wander across many castle tiles and can branch and so have more than two ends.

The player with the most heralds on the completed path scores points for the path. The player scores 1 point for each castle tile (not each path segment) that is on the path. If the path includes a path segment on a start space, this counts as 1 point as though it were a castle tile.

The player moves their scoring marker along the castle wall scoring track to record the points scored. The scoring track runs around the castle walls for 100 spaces. When a player moves their scoring marker past space 99, the player continues to space 0, laying the scoring marker on its side to note that it has passed 100 points.

If there are one or more fountains along the completed path, the player scores 2 points for each castle tile on the completed path. Even if a path has several fountains, it still scores 2 points for each castle tile.

Black scores 8 points (3 castle tiles on the path plus the start space in the castle wall with a path). The fountain on the path (indicated by the arrow) makes each tile worth 2 points. The white rectangles mark a path end.

A completed tower

A tower is complete when the connected tower segments are completely surrounded by paths, houses, courts, and the castle wall (and the tower contains no empty spaces). There is no limit to the size of a tower. It can consist of many castle tiles.

The player with the most knights on the completed tower scores points for the tower. The player scores 2 points for each castle tile (not each segment) that forms the tower. If the tower includes a tower segment on a start space, this counts 2 points as though it were a castle tile.

White scores 8 points (4 castle tiles with the connected tower segments (1), (2), (3) and (4))

A completed house and the keep

White scores 1 point (1 castle tile with a house segment). The arrow highlights the fact that the scoring house section does not connect diagonally with the tile (top right, outlined in red) just placed.

A house is complete when the connected house segments are completely surrounded by paths, towers, courts and the castle wall (and the house contains no empty spaces). There is no limit to the size of a house. It can consist of many castle tiles.

The player with the most squires on a completed house scores points for the house. The players scores 1 point for each castle tile (not each house segment that forms the house). If the house includes a house segment on a start space, this counts 1 point as though it were a castle tile.

When a player scores their first house, the player places their keep on it. If, later in the game, the player scores a larger house (the player has the most squires on a completed house) than the one on which the player's keep stands, the player moves their keep to the larger house. Thus, at the end of the game, each player's keep marks the largest house that they have completed.

Connecting paths, towers, houses and courts

By placing castle tiles, players may connect separate features that have followers on them.

By connecting such features, players can create

• a path with more than one herald
• a tower with more than one knight
• a house with more than one squire, or
• a court with more than one merchant

When scoring a completed path, tower, or house, the players first check to see if one player has more followers'on the completed features than the other. If so, this player scores all the points for the feature alone. If both players have the same number of followers on the completed feature, neither scores the points for the completed feature.

When white and black placed their knights, they were on separate towers. By placing the red-bordered castle tile, a player connected the two towers, making a single tower with two knights. Also, the tower is now complete, but as both players have the same number of knights (1), neither scores for the tower.

Note: having several followers on a feature as described above does not contradict the rule "If there is already a follower (even the player's own) on the enlarged feature, the player may not place a follower on that feature". This rule is for the placing of followers! In the case above, features with followers that were originally placed on separated features are now connected. Thus, after the connection, the followers are on the same feature. Players may even plan their moves with future connections in mind.

The return of followers to their owners

After a path, tower, or house is completed and scored - and only then - the players take back their followers from the feature scored, putting them in their supplies. The followers are returned to the player's supply at the end of the turn. Thus they are available on the player's next turn and may be used in any role.

It is possible in a single turn for a player to place a follower, score the feature it is on, and take back the follower into their supply. To do this, a player must (always in this order) :-

1. Place a new castle tile, completing a path, tower or house
2. Place a follower on the completed path, tower or house
3. Score the completed path, tower or house
4. Take back the follower from the scored path, tower or house

Black scores 1 point for the completed path on the tile just played.

Black scores 4 points for the completed tower.

The wall tiles

When, as a result of scoring, a player moves their scoring marker to either of the two spaces on a corner tower of the castle wall scoring track, the player takes the wall tile lying there (if it is still there) and places it face up in their play area. When a player moves their scoring marker past the corner, the player does not take a wall tile as they pass .

A player may use a wall tile, taken in this turn, on the next turn or any later turn, depending on which tile it is. On their turn , a player may use one or more wall tiles. Once played, a wall tile is removed from the game. For a complete description of the wall tiles, see the later section Description of Wall Tiles.

When taking a wall tile, the following is important: When the placement of a castle tile results in more than one completed feature, the player placing the tile scores their completed features first. If there is more than one feature to score for the player or their opponent, the placing player decides the order.

Black scores 2 points, moves their scoring marker 2 spaces to space 33, and takes the wall tile lying there.

The court

3 separate courts (indicated by the arrows).

Courts are separated from each other by paths, towers and houses. When a player places a merchant on a court, it is placed on its side to emphasize that it cannot be returned to the player during the game. Courts are only scored at the end of the game.

End of a player's turn

After scoring and taking appropriate wall tiles from the scoring track, the player's turn is over, and their opponent then takes their turn.

Game End

The game ends at the end of the turn when the last castle tile is placed.

Remove all remaining wall tiles from the castle wall and then perform the final scoring.

Final scoring (scoring the keep, courts and wall tiles)

During final scoring, the playes score the largest keep and the courts.

Also, the players can now use wall tiles 4 through 9. Incomplete paths, towers and houses are not scored! Exception: players who have wall tiles 4, 5 or 6.

Scoring the largest keep

The player with the largest keep (the player with the largest completed house ) scores the following points.

There will be at least 16 empty spaces within the castle walls at the end of the game. The players determine which connected area of empty spaces is the largest and count the number of castle tiles that would fit in this area . The player with the largest keep scores this number of points by moving their scoring marker on the scoring track. If both players tie for the largest keep, neither scores for it. Note: wall tile 8!

The white spaces show where no castle tiles were placed. The largest connected spaces in this example has 11 spaces. Thus, the player with the largest keep scores 11 points.

Scoring the courts

The player with the most merchants on a court space scores 3 points for each market on the court. If both players have the same number of merchants on a court, neither scores points for the court.

White scores 3 points (for the court bounded in red). This single market lies on the small court separated by several paths and a house from the larger court (outlined in blue).
There are 5 markets on the large court, including the one on the start space next to the castle wall. Black has the most merchants on the large court. Black scores 15 points and moves their scoring marker on the scoring track. White scores nothing for this court. If black has wall tile 7, each market on the court would be worth 4 points for a total of 20 points.

Finally, players score points for wall tiles 4, 5, 6 (for incomplete features), and 9, if they have them.

The player with the most points is the winner.

Description of wall tiles

1	The player takes another complete turn (during the game)	6	The player scores 1 point per tile for 1 incomplete house (at game end)
2	The player doubles the score of 1 completed tower when scoring it (each tile = 4 points)	7	The player scores 4 points for each market on 1 court (at game end)
3	The player doubles the score of 1 completed house when scoring it (each tile = 2 points)	8	The player enlarges their keep by 2 tiles (at game end). For example, a keep of 5 tiles is counted as a keep of 7 tiles
4	The player scores 1 point per tile (2 with a fountain ) for 1 incomplete path (at game end)	9	The player scores 5 points (at game end)
5	The player scores 2 points per tile for 1 incomplete tower (at game end)
Tiles 1-3 are played during the game. Tiles 4-9 are played at the end of the game. To play wall tiles 2-7, the player must have more followers on the feature than their opponent. Designer's clarifications for when an individual player holds both of a specific wall tile: Wall tiles 2-3 allow a player to double the score of a completed feature during the game. If a player plays both of one of these tiles, he or she can triple (not quadruple) the score of the feature. Wall tiles 4-6 allow a player to score incomplete features at the end of the game. If a player has both of one of these tiles, he or she can score the largest affected incomplete feature twice. Wall tile 7 allows a player to score 4 points per market on a single court. If a player has both of these tiles, he or she could score 8 points per market on a single court.
