When a player places this tile adjacent [1] to one or more tiles on the board, all followers [2] [3] [4] [5] from the adjacent tiles are moved onto the Vodyanoy tile. All followers placed on any tile adjacent to the Vodyanoy tile in future turns will also be moved onto the tile. Followers remain on that tile until the end of the game and get -2 points each during final scoring. Nevertheless during his/her turn, instead of placing a follower, the player may return 1 follower from the Vodyanoy tile into his/her supply. [6]

  1. Interpretation from the Community Adjacent means next to the tile horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
  2. Interpretation from the Community The rules allow the Vodyanoy tile to trap followers only (normal follower, big follower, mayor, wagon, phantom, CII abbot and CII ringmaster.) Special figures (builder, pig, barn and shepherd) or neutral figures are not affected directly. However, builders and pigs may be returned to their player's supply if the last player's follower supporting them on a feature is trapped.
  3. Interpretation from the Community Followers on certain features not located on a specific tile cannot be trapped: castles (see Exp. 8 - Bridges, Castles and Bazaars), the interior of the City of Carcassonne (see The Count of Carcassonne), the crown of the Wheel Of Fortune (see The Wheel of Fortune) and, by extension, the interior of the City of Leipzig (The Markets of Leipzig) for the sake of consistency, although the districts are located in specific tiles.
  4. Interpretation from the Community There is a potential issue with the interaction of Vodyanoy with The Barber-Surgeons: A bathhouse adjacent to the Vodyanoy tile would be forced to be always empty, as all the followers sent there would be trapped by the Vodyanoy tile. In a limit case, it would be possible for all the followers in the game to end up trapped in the Vodyanoy tile. So players would have to spend more turns than usual removing trapped followers. The game can become very tedious as a consequence.
  5. Common house rule or variant Players may agree that followers in bathhouses -as a water-related feature- are not affected by the Vodyanoy tile, in order to avoid the bathhouse-Vodyanoy chain reaction.
  6. Interpretation from the Community Some translated Vodyanoy rules available online are generally missing the following two details:
    • All followers placed on adjacent tiles to the Vodyanoy tile are trapped too in future turns.
    • Players can remove one follower from the Vodyanoy tile instead of placing a follower, the same as with Solovei Razboynik.
