The Watchtowers
General info and comments
The The Watchtowers was released in 2016 by HiG through CundCo.
This mini expansion features watchtowers that you can build in and around Carcassonne. Each tower watches over different things and is more valuable the more it watches over.
This expansion has been developed for the Carcassonne base game and its rules still apply. You can combine it with other expansions - but at your own risk – i.e. there will be no official rules for these combinations.

Rules
Preparation
Shuffle the 12 land tiles showing the watchtowers together with those from the base game.
Placing a tile
When you draw a land tile showing a watchtower, place it according to the known rules.
Placing a meeple
Scoring a feature
When a completed road or a city contains a meeple on a watchtower, the watchtower is scored first. The completed road or city is scored afterwards.
This does not apply to farmers. Farmers do not trigger scoring for watchtowers.
For scoring the watchtowers, the 8 directly adjacent tiles and the tile with the watchtower itself are considered. You can see on each watchtower what scores your points:
2 points for each meeple | ||
2 points for each coat of arms | ||
1 point for each tile showing at least one road | ||
3 points for each monastery | ||
1 point for each tile showing at least one part of a city |
The following examples show how watchtowers are scored:
