1. Introduction

This Expansion Selector allows you to pick what expansions (or parts of them) to use in the reference pages of WICA. According to your selection, the Order of Play and Scoring sections will be adapted. This way, you can customize WICA to suit your game without any hinderance from the expansions left out.

As hinted above, the expansions combining multiple elements permit a fine-grain selection of its elements. For example, you can choose the abbey tiles and the wagon from "Abbey & Mayor" and to leave out the barn and the mayor.

2. Use Guide

The selector has several tabs and below there is an area that lists the current selection at all times, no matter the tab displayed.

You can click on any tab label to go to the desired tab. Additional clicks on a selected tab will collapse it and expand it back in order to access the selector when needed. Switching to another tab will expand the selector automatically.

The following sections describe the tabs and their functionality.

2.1. "Expansions" tabs

The first three (or four) tabs from the left allow you to pick expansions in full or partially when possible.

• Major expansions: lists all official major expansions by HiG.
• Minor expansions: lists all official minor expansions by HiG and some of their licensed equivalents.
• Other expansions: lists the rest of licensed and unofficial expansions as well as those Print & Play and Cut & Play expansions released by HiG.
• Fan expansions: lists some fan-made expansions. This tab may not be available in some cases.

These tabs show a listing of expansions where each label is preceded by a checkbox to allow its selection and deselection if full.

Those expansions with various components show a clickable "[+]" symbol after them when closed or "[–]" when open. In the latter case, all the components are displayed and can be selected and deselected individually.

Each tab has a text label in accordance with the format "Group (X/Y)" in order to identify the set of expansions listed (indicated by Group), the number of expansions selected (represented by X) and the total number available (represented by Y).

2.2. "Quick Selectors" tab

This is the fourth tab from the left. It allows you to choose from a predefined list of available expansions sets. This tab contains the following elements:

• A dropdown list and a "Select Expansions" button: They allow you select and load a predefined expansion bundle, such as a Big Box or all the expansions for the New Edition.
• The "Clear All" button empties your current with one click.
• The "Select All" button selects all the expansions available with one click.

2.3. "Filters" tab

This is the fifth tab from the left. It allows you to choose what Carcassonne editions are displayed and your preferred edition. The editions considered are the 1st Edition (C1), the New Edition (C2+C3), and the Winter Edition (WE), which is included in a creative way if some of its expansions are of interest.

The tab displays two panels:

• "Show Editions" panel: it contains a checkbox for each edition available (C1, C2+C3 and WE.) The selector will show the expansions belonging to the checked editions only. For example, if the 1st edition (C1) checkbox is selected, expansions such as "The Wheel Of Fortune" or "Halflings" will be eligible in the Expansion Selector, otherwise they will not be available for selection. At least one edition has to be selected, thus they cannot be deselected at the same time.
• "Preferred Edition" panel: it contains a set of radio buttons for the 1st Edition (C1), the New Edition (C2+C3) and the Winter Edition. The radio button selected will indicate the Expansion Selector which edition has precedence over the other when:
  • Describing the Game Reference, the Order of Play, the Scoring rules and Game Figures: If there are differences between editions, the preferred edition rules and wording will be displayed. For example, the movement of the dragon will be displayed in different steps in the Order of Play depending on whether C1 or C2+C3 is selected.
  • Displaying graphics in the Scoring sections: For expansions available in both editions, the images shown will correspond to the selected edition. Images from an expansion only existing in one edition will not change.

  The radio button for an edition will be enabled only if such an edition is available, that is, it is selected in the "Show Editions" panel.
  It also includes a checkbox with the label "Mark rules adaptations": If checked, all the rules displayed in the Game Reference, the Order of Play, and the Game Figures not corresponding to the preferred edition will be highlighted.

This tab shows a label similar to "Filters (C1/C2+C3/WE) #" that lists all the editions selected in parentheses and one of them is underlined, indicating that it is the preferred one. The hash sign "#" is present if rules adaptations are highlighted.

2.4. Help

This is the current tab displayed with help information about the Expansion Selector.

Transmogrifying...

Introduction

• The word “you" throughout this section refers to the active player.
• Steps written in yellow represent deviations from the official HiG rule set.
• Steps written in blue are features from other editions of Carcassonne adapted for the preferred version with a little creativity when required.
• If playing with Mini #2 - The Messengers, the player scoring points chooses which scoring figure to move each time points are awarded. When you see MESSAGES (#ROUND), after scoring is completed for a given round of scoring, if one of your scoring figures has just landed on a dark space of the scoreboard, you may draw a Message tile if there were no other players' scoring figures on it (ZMG rules only). The (#ROUND) identifier indicates the round of scoring within a turn sequence. Only one Message tile can be drawn per round or scoring (even if both scoring figures ended up on dark spaces the same round). Note that resolving a Message tile could also trigger the drawing of another Message tile.
• If playing with Mini #2 - The Messengers, the player scoring points chooses which scoring figure to move each time points are awarded. When you see MESSAGES, after scoring is completed for the round of scoring, if one of your scoring figures has just landed on a dark space of the scoreboard, you may draw a Message tile if there were no other players' scoring figures on it (ZMG rules only). Only one Message tile can be drawn (even if both scoring figures ended up on dark spaces the same round). Note that resolving a Message tile could also trigger the drawing of another Message tile.
• If playing with the Mini #6 - The Robbers, robbers must take points from the first allowable event. When you see the word ROBBERS, robbers must take points if possible (ignoring rogue points and negative points). When you see ROBBER CHOICE, robbers must take points but they may need to choose which countingscoring figure to take the first points from; this may happen when a robber is on the same space as multiple countingscoring figures that will be scoring points during Step 3B.
• If playing with The Wonders of Humanity, players may obtain one wonder tile along with two additional figures placed next to the scoreboard after a scoring during the game. When you see the word WONDER, you must check if any of the players scoring points has two figures next to a space of the scoreboard (10, 15, 20 or 25). If so, check if any countingscoring figure reaches or exceeds the given marked space. If this happens, the player meeting the condition (or the player you decide if several players meet the condition) will obtain a wonder tile and their two meeples. At this point, move the remaining figures next to the scoreboard, if any, 5 spaces forward, but never beyond the 25 space. If any player still meets the condition to obtain a wonder, repeat the process.
• If playing with the Russian Promos, followersmeeples can be trapped by the following tiles:
  • Solovei Razboynik: It will trap the closest follower(s)meeple(s) or builder(s) on the road segments connected to this tile. The capture will be triggered by placing a tile or when adding followersmeeples or builders to the road (this includes connecting roads with ferries or tunnel tokens, only if the new road segment is occupied). The affected followersmeeples and builders will be sent to the tree on this tile. When you see TREE TRAP, check if this action applies.
  • Vodyanoy: It will trap followersmeeples or special figures (except barns and obelisks) placed on this tile or any adjacent tile. The affected followersmeeples will be sent to the lake on this tile. When you see LAKE TRAP, check if this action applies.
  In case of conflict, Vodyanoy has precedence over Solovei Razboynik.
• If playing with Fortune Teller, the following options where chosen for the Order of Play based on the clarifications provided:
  • If you have any tiles in your supply, you may choose to play one of them with a valid placement instead of drawing tiles.
  • If you draw tiles, you may only choose to play one with a valid placement.
  • If none of the tiles drawn can be placed, discard one tile in your hand and draw a new one until it can be placed. In this case, you are not be allowed to use a tile from your supply as an alternative.
  • If none of the tiles drawn can be placed, discard them all and draw a new one until it can be placed. In this case, you are not be allowed to use a tile from your supply as an alternative.
  • If you are granted a double turn, keep the remaining extra tiles provided by your fortune teller(s) until your builder turn, and then you choose a valid tile to play, dicarding the rest.
  • During your builder turn:
    • You may not use a tile in your supply instead of placing one in your hand, even if none of them is valid.
    • If none of the tiles in your hand can be placed, discard them all and draw one tile at a time until it can be placed.
• If playing with  The Hans Statue and the Hans Statue is placed on tile or feature has segment on tile with it, then players get store is multiplied by 2 marked as HANS STATUE 2×, but for negative payment score is 1/2 divided up marked HANS STATUE 1/2.

Any time during your turn:

• Any number of times:
  • You may ask for advice.
  • You may read the rules.
  • You may look at the betting chips in your supply, but not look at the ones placed on the board.
• Only once (even throughout a double turn granted by the builder):
  • You may buy back any one of your imprisoned followersmeeples by paying the captor 3 points. ROBBERS WONDER
  • You may claim an unclaimed tunnel portal by placing a tunnel token on it. TREE TRAP
  • You may allow one followermeeple or special figure (except barn and obelisk) to take flight from the Plague (once an infestation is active). LAKE TRAP
  • You must spread the plague by placing a flea token (once an infestation is active), if the tile placed is not a new plague source.

   • If you have a tile from a previous bazaar auction, you must use that tile.
   • If you have a wonder tile in your supply, you must use that tile.
     • If the wonder tile cannot be placed, draw an additional tile to place it right before the wonder tile. Discard any invalid tile and draw one tile at a time until the placement of the drawn tile and the wonder tile are both valid.

Step 1C: Place the Tile

1. Place the tile. If the placement is illegal, you must discard the tile (and the tile drawn to place underneath a hill as well, if any) and go back to Step 1B.
   • You may build a bridge on the tile just placed or a tile orthogonal to the tile just placed if you have any left in your supply. The bridge may be required to make the tile placement legal. (Otherwise, a bridge can be placed at any time during the turn but taking into account restrictions imposed by feature completion and figure placement.) If the placement is illegal without the bridge, you may choose to discard the tile. TREE TRAP
     • If placing a bridge on a tile with a tower, you may need to move it slightly to make room for the bridge.

The active player may protect the exchanged followermeeple against peasant revolts by paying points. HANS STATUE 1/2 Any followersmeeples exchanged will keep their protection against peasant revolts.
    • Final scoring bonus

22. If you extended at least one road or city occupied by one or more players where you don't have the majority after placing the tile, you draw a gift card, look at it without showing it to anyone, and place it face down in your supply.
23. If you placed a tile with spell circles in a way that it limits its mist, take as many ghosts from the supply as there are spell circles on the tile and add them to one or more of your own followersmeeples. If any of your followersmeeples ends up with three ghosts, remove the followermeeple and its ghosts.
24. If you placed the Stonehenge wonder tile in an earlier turn and you just completed one or more occupied roads, you score 3 points for each road. ROBBERS

2. Placing a followermeeple

Step 2A: Move the Wood (Prologue)

1. If you placed a tile with spell circles, move ghosts from the 8 surrounding tiles to place them on the spell circles. If there are not enough, take the remaining ghosts from the supply, if any available.
2. If the tile you placed extended the mist, add one ghost from the supply to an opponent's followermeeple, if possible. If this is its third ghost, remove the followermeeple and its ghosts.
   Additionally, if the mist has ghosts on spell circles (except those on the tile just placed, if any), add ghosts from those spell circles to followersmeeples from any opponents, if possible (otherwise move the ghosts to the supply):
   • Move one ghost from a spell circle in the mist (except from the tile just placed, if any), if the mist is incomplete
   • Move all the ghost from the spell circles in the mist (including those on the tile just placed, if any), if the mist is completed

   If any followermeeple is added a third ghost, remove the followermeeple and its ghosts immediately.

3. If the tile you placed limited the mist, add one ghost from the supply to one of your own followersmeeples, if possible. If this is its third ghost, remove the followermeeple and its ghosts.
   Additionally, if the mist has ghosts on spell circles (except on the tile just placed, if any), add all the ghosts from those spell circles (except those from the tile just placed, if any) to one or more or your followersmeeples, if possible (otherwise move the ghosts to the supply). If any followermeeple is added a third ghost, remove the followermeeple and its ghosts immediately.
4. If you have a followermeeple on a bathhouse, you may buy the followermeeple back by losing as many points as the number on the bathhouse tile. HANS STATUE 1/2 You can place the followermeeple in the same turn.

There are no particular actions for this step.

   • Phantom (1 vote)
   • Abbot (1 vote)
