== Overview ==
The players take turns placing tiles. A galaxy of trading routes, asteroids fields and planets will be created, on which the players will place their troops in order to fight and score points. Players will fight for their place in the galaxy, whether or not they have the claim to do so. Once all galaxy tiles have been placed and final scoring has been completed, the player with the most points is the winner.
== Preparation ==
[[File:Star_Wars_startTile.jpg|frame|right|Start Tile with different back]]
* The '''start tile''' is placed in the middle of the table. Shuffle the remaining galaxy tiles and place them in several face-down piles so that they are within easy reach of all players.
* The remaining '''Mining tokens''' are placed face-down within easy reach. Ideally, one player should be assigned to placing these tokens as they are needed.
* Each player takes 5 cowboys and 1 tent in their chosen color, placing one of their cowboys on space 0 of the scoreboard.
* The youngest player chooses who begins the game.<ref>If you don't want to admit your age, agree another method.</ref>
== Playing the Game == <!--T:14-->
<!--T:15-->
The game is played in clockwise order from the start player. A player takes the following actions in the specified order:
<!--T:16-->
* 1. The player must draw a Land tile and place it according to the rules below (place Mining tokens when and where appropriate).
<!--T:17-->
* 2a. The player '''may''' place a cowboy '''on the newly placed tile''' according to the rules below, '''OR'''
* 2b. The player '''may''' place/move her own tent on/to a mountain, '''OR'''
* 2c. The player '''may''' take a Mining token from the mountain where her tent is located. (A player may perform '''no more than one''' of the actions detailed in step 2. A player may also choose to take none of the actions detailed in step 2.)
<!--T:18-->
* 3. If, by the placement of a new tile, one or more '''railroads''', '''mountains''', or '''cities''' are completed, they are evaluated and '''scored'''.
<!--T:19-->
Then, the next player plays his turn.
== 1. Placing Land Tiles == <!--T:20-->
<!--T:21-->
A player must first draw a Land tile from one of the facedown piles. They may show it to all players (who may advise of “good” placement opportunities), and then place it according to the following rules:
* The newly placed tile ({{ColorRed|red}}-bordered in the examples below) must be placed adjacent to at least one existing tile. Diagonal adjacency is '''not''' sufficient.
* Railroad tracks, mountains, and prairies must continue from this newly placed tile to existing adjacent tiles. In the rare case that a drawn tile cannot be legally placed, it is discarded from the game. The player draws a new Land tile to place instead.

{{EndBlock}}
{{EndBlockList}}
=== Placing Mining Tokens === <!--T:22-->
<!--T:23-->
When a player places a Land tile depicting a mountain segment, one or more Mining tokens are immediately placed '''face-down''' on that mountain. The number of Mining tokens to be placed is equal to the number of gold nugget symbols on the newly placed tile. For the sake of clarity, all Mining tokens on a given mountain should be kept in a single face-down pile.
{{BeginBlockList|600px}}
{{Block|
[[File:Goldrush_Ex05_PlaceToken1.jpg|frame|The newly placed tile has two gold nugget symbols: place two Mining tokens on this mountain]]
}}
{{Block|
[[File:Goldrush_Ex06_PlaceToken2.jpg|frame|Stack the two Mining tokens provided by the above tile on the existing Mining tokens]]
}}
{{EndBlock}}
{{EndBlockList}}
To ensure you do not forget to place these tokens, it is recommended that one player is assigned this important task.
== 2a. Placing Followers == <!--T:24-->
<!--T:25-->
Once a player has placed a tile, they may place a cowboy. The following rules apply:
<!--T:26-->
* Only '''one''' cowboy may be placed
* The cowboy '''must''' come from her personal supply
* The cowboy '''must''' be placed on the newly placed tile
* The cowboy '''must''' occupy a single feature. '''As a ...'''

{{EndBlockList}}
'''Note: For your first game, it is best to play without the farmers.'''
* '''No other cowboy''' (of another player or your own) may be present on the railroad, mountain, or prairie on which you place your cowboy. <ref>You '''may''' place your cowboy onto a mountain area that contains no cowboys, but is occupied by [[Gold Rush The Sheriff|The Sheriff]] with the hope that he will be moved away at a later point in the game.</ref> This is best illustrated by the following examples:
{{BeginBlockList|600px}}
{{Block|
[[File:Goldrush_Ex08_PlaceCowboy1.jpg|frame|{{ColorBlue|BLUE}} may not place a railwayman because the railroad is already occupied. {{ColorBlue|BLUE}} may, however, place a gold miner on the mountain or a farmer on either of the prairies.]]

Regardless, the gold nugget symbol on the mountain indicates that a Mining token must be added.]]
}}
{{EndBlock}}
{{EndBlockList}}
If a player has no cowboys in their supply, they must continue to place tiles on their turn even though they cannot place cowboys. Do not worry: cowboys return to their players’ supplies when they are no longer needed on their respective railroads, mountains, and cities (further explained later).
== 2b. Pitch a Tent == <!--T:27-->
<!--T:28-->
Instead of placing a cowboy, a player may place their tent on the mountain segment of a tile, or move it from one mountain segment to another. The following rules apply:
<!--T:29-->
* The mountain '''must not''' be completed
* The mountain segment of the tile '''must be vacant''' (a cowboy may occupy ''another'' segment of the same tile)
* '''Cowboys and tents may still occupy other segments of the same mountain'''
* '''The tent may occupy a newly placed tile or a previously placed tile'''
* There is no functional difference between placing a tent from one’s personal supply and moving a tent from one tile to another

== 2c. Mine for gold == <!--T:30-->
<!--T:31-->
[[File:Goldrush_Ex12_MineGold.jpg|frame|right|On a later turn, {{ColorYellow|YELLOW}} takes a Mining token. The {{ColorBlue|BLUE gold miner}} in the same mountain does not affect this.]]
<!--T:32-->
On a turn in which a player chooses not to place a cowboy (2a) or pitch a tent (2b), they may choose to take the topmost Mining token from the mountain where their tent is located. It does not matter which other cowboys and tents occupy that mountain, or who possesses the most cowboys on that mountain. The Mining token a player acquires is placed facedown in front of them. A player may view the value of their acquired Mining tokens at any time, but they will only be added to the player’s score at the end of the game.
<!--T:33-->
'''Attention:''' If, by the placement of a new tile, one or more railroads, mountains, or cities are completed, proceed to step 3 where these features will be evaluated and scored.
<!--T:34-->
'''Otherwise, the next player clockwise begins their turn.'''
== 3. Scoring Completed Railroads, Mountains and Cities == <!--T:35-->
<!--T:36-->
If a road, mountain or city is "completed" by the placement of the land tile, it is now scored.
=== The Scoreboard === <!--T:37-->
<!--T:38-->
[[File:Goldrush_Ex17_Score50.jpg|frame|{{ColorYellow|YELLOW}} scores 2 points and moves the scoring cowboy from space 49 to space 1. The scoring cowboy is laid flat to indicate that the player has exceeded 50 points.]]
<!--T:39-->
All players track their points with a cowboy on the provided scoreboard, with spaces marked 0-49. Should a player acquire 50 or more points in a game, they should lay their cowboy flat (as pictured to the right) to indicate that they have completed a lap of the scoreboard. In this way, a cowboy lying flat on space 1 of the scoreboard (as pictured to the right) indicates a score of 51 points. <ref>{{IconHouse}} Alternatively, use can be made of the 50/100 scoring tiles available as part of the Carcassonne expansion, [[Inns and Cathedrals|Inns and Cathedrals]], or from fan expansion sites, such as [http://www.carcassonnecentral.com CarcassonneCentral].</ref>
=== Completed Railroad === <!--T:40-->
<!--T:41-->
A railroad is completed when its two ends terminate in junctions, cities, and/or mountains, or when it forms a complete loop. Completed railroads can vary greatly in length (few or many segments).
'''A player whose railwayman alone occupies a completed railroad scores points equal to the “length” of the railroad (number of tiles used). For example, a five-tile railroad is worth 5 points. More examples are pictured below.'''
{{BeginBlockList|600px}}
{{Block|
[[File:Goldrush_Ex13_ScoreRailroad1.jpg|frame|{{ColorBlue|BLUE}} scores 4 points.]]
}}
{{Block|
[[File:Goldrush_Ex14_ScoreRailroad2.jpg|frame|{{ColorBlue|BLUE}} scores 3 points.]]
}}
{{EndBlock}}
{{EndBlockList}}
=== Completed Railroad with Locomotives === <!--T:42-->
<!--T:43-->
'''If there is exactly one locomotive on a completed railroad, the score for that railroad is doubled.'''
If there are no locomotives, or two or more locomotives on a completed railroad, the score is not doubled.
{{BeginBlockList|700px}}
{{Block|
[[File:Goldrush_Ex15_ScoreRailroad3.jpg|frame|{{ColorBlue|BLUE}} scores 8 points (4 points for 4 tiles doubled by a single locomotive).]]
}}
{{Block|
[[File:Goldrush_Ex16_ScoreRailroad4.jpg|frame|{{ColorBlue|BLUE}} scores 6 points (because two or more locomotives do '''not''' double the value of a railroad).]]
}}
{{EndBlock}}
{{EndBlockList}}
=== Multiple Cowboys on a completed railroad or mountain === <!--T:44-->
<!--T:45-->
[[File:Goldrush_Ex18_MultipleCowboys.jpg|frame|right|The {{ColorRed|newly placed tile}} connects two previously separate railroads as a single completed railroad.<br>{{ColorBlue|BLUE}} and {{ColorYellow|YELLOW}} both score 5 points, as they are tied for most cowboys.]]
<!--T:46-->
Through clever tile and cowboy placement, multiple cowboys can occupy a single feature.
<!--T:47-->
'''When such a railroad or mountain is completed, the player who has the most cowboys in a given feature scores the points alone. In case of a tie, all tied players score full points.'''
=== Completed Mountain === <!--T:48-->
<!--T:49-->
A mountain is complete when it is completely surrounded by prairies (has no open sides), and there are no gaps within. Completed mountains can vary greatly in size (few or many segments).
<!--T:50-->
'''The player who has the most gold miners on a completed mountain first takes all Mining tokens that remain on the mountain, and then scores 1 point for each gold nugget symbol on that mountain.''' <ref>{{IconWorld}} If I complete a mountain area which contains my tent, can I first mine it and then distribute tokens and score it? Yes.</ref><ref>{{IconWorld}} If there are no gold miners on a completed mountain that contains Mining Tokens, the tokens are removed from the board and placed back in the general supply.</ref>
<!--T:51-->
'''In case of a tie''', the Mining tokens are distributed among the tied players. The tied players take turns taking Mining tokens, starting clockwise from the current player, and continuing until all Mining tokens have been taken. Then, all tied players score full points for the gold nugget symbols on the mountain.
{{BeginBlockList|600px}}
{{Block|
[[File:Goldrush_Ex19_ScoreMountain1.jpg|frame|The mountain is complete. {{ColorYellow|YELLOW}} first takes the remaining Mining tokens, and then scores 7 points (for 7 gold nugget symbols).]]
}}
{{Block|
[[File:Goldrush_Ex20_ScoreMountain2.jpg|frame|On {{ColorBlue|BLUE}}’s turn, the leftmost tile is placed, which completes the mountain. {{ColorBlue|BLUE}} takes the first of the 3 remaining Mining tokens. {{ColorRed|RED}} takes a Mining token, then {{ColorBlue|BLUE}} takes the last one. {{ColorRed|RED}} and {{ColorBlue|BLUE}} each score 5 points (for 5 gold nugget symbols).]]
}}
{{EndBlock}}
{{EndBlockList}}
'''Tents have no effect on the majority, evaluation, or scoring of a completed mountain. A tent occupying a completed mountain is returned to its owner’s supply.'''
=== Completed City === <!--T:52-->
<!--T:53-->
[[File:Goldrush_Ex21_ScoreCity.jpg|frame|right|The {{ColorBlue|BLUE merchant}} in the completed city is connected to two completed railroads and scores '''6 points'''.]]
<!--T:54-->
A city is complete when all railroad segments (3 or 4) emerging from that city are part of '''completed''' railroads.
<!--T:55-->
'''The player whose merchant occupies a completed city scores 3 points for each completed railroad connected to that city.'''
<!--T:56-->
'''Important: A railroad that starts and ends in the same city only adds 3 points to that city’s value (see example to the right).'''
=== Returning Cowboys to their owners === <!--T:57-->
<!--T:58-->
[[File:Goldrush_Ex22_ReturnCowboy.jpg|border|left]]
<!--T:59-->
After a railroad, mountain, or city is completed, the cowboys in those completed features are returned to their owners’ supplies. These cowboys may be used on '''future turns'''.
<!--T:60-->
'''Due to the sequence of a game turn, it is possible to place a cowboy and have it returned to you in the same turn.'''
<!--T:61-->
In order to do this, one must:
# Place a tile so that it completes a railroad, mountain, or city.
# Place a cowboy from their supply on the newly completed feature (it must not already be occupied by another cowboy).
# Score the completed feature.
# The cowboy is then returned to the player’s supply.
{{BeginBlockList|600px}}

[[File:Goldrush_Ex23_Return1.jpg|frame|{{ColorBlue|BLUE}} places a tile and a railwayman, and scores 3 points.]]
}}
{{Block|
[[File:Goldrush_Ex24_Return2.jpg|frame|{{ColorBlue|BLUE}} places a tile and a gold miner, takes the 2 Mining tokens and scores 2 points.]]
}}
{{EndBlock}}
{{EndBlockList}}
== The Prairies == <!--T:62-->
<!--T:63-->
'''We recommend playing without farmers and prairie scoring for your first game.'''
<!--T:64-->
Unlike the other features, players only score points for their farmers in prairies '''at the end of the game'''.
<!--T:65-->
Once a cowboy is placed on a prairie, becoming a farmer, it remains there '''until the end of the game'''. For this reason, farmers should always be '''laid flat''' on the prairies to remind players that they '''do not return''' like railwaymen, gold miners, and merchants. The boundaries of a prairie are formed by railroad tracks, mountains, and the edges of outer tiles. (Important for final scoring!)
{{BeginBlockList|600px}}
{{Block|
[[File:Goldrush_Ex25_Prairie1.jpg|frame|Both farmers occupy their own prairie. The mountains separate the two prairies.]]
}}
{{Block|
[[File:Goldrush_Ex26_Prairie2.jpg|frame|By placing a new tile here, the farmers’ prairies are now connected. '''Reminder:''' The player who placed this new tile may not place a farmer in that prairie, as it is already occupied by a farmer (two of them, in fact).]]
}}
{{EndBlock}}
{{EndBlockList}}
== Game End == <!--T:66-->
The game ends immediately after the turn during which the last Land tile is placed. Players proceed to '''final scoring'''.
== Final Scoring == <!--T:68-->
Players will score points for '''incomplete railroads, mountains, and cities'''. Players will also score points for '''farmers'''. Finally, the points from '''Mining tokens''' will be scored.
The player with the most points at the end of the final scoring is the winner!
=== Scoring Incomplete features === <!--T:71-->
[[File:Goldrush_Ex27_Incomplete.jpg|frame|right|{{ColorGreen|GREEN}} scores 10 points (10 gold nugget symbols) for the larger incomplete mountain. {{ColorBlack|BLACK}} scores no points, as {{ColorGreen|GREEN}} has more cowboys on that mountain.<br>
For the incomplete railroad, {{ColorRed|RED}} scores 2 points(2 tiles).<br>
For the incomplete city, {{ColorYellow|YELLOW}} scores 3 points (1 completed railroad).<br>
For the incomplete mountain, {{ColorBlue|BLUE}} scores 3 points(3 gold nugget symbols).]]
'''MOUNTAINS:''' First, all tents and Mining tokens are removed from the game. Then, the player(s) with the most gold miners on the mountain scores '''1 point for each gold nugget symbol'''.
'''RAILROADS:''' The player(s) scores '''1 point for each tile''' belonging to the railroad (locomotives have no effect).
'''CITIES:''' The player scores '''3 points for each completed railroad''' connected to the city.
<!--T:76-->
After each feature is scored, return the cowboys to their corresponding supplies.
=== Scoring Farmers ===
<!--T:78-->
The value of each prairie is determined by the number of '''tipi camps''' and '''wild horses''' occupying that prairie.
<!--T:79-->
* Each '''tipi camp''' adds 2 points to the value of a prairie.
* Each '''herd of wild horses''' adds 4 points to the value of a prairie.
The player who has the most farmers in a given prairie scores a number of points equal to the value of that prairie. In case of a tie, all tied players score full points, as seen previously with railroads and mountains.
{{BeginBlockList|600px}}
{{Block|
[[File:Goldrush_Ex28_ScoringFarmers.jpg|frame|left|In the field to the left, {{ColorGreen|GREEN}} and {{ColorYellow|YELLOW}} both score full points, as they are tied for the most farmers. They each score '''6 points''' (2 points for the tipi camp and 4 points for the wild horses).<br>
In the upper right, {{ColorRed|RED}} scores '''4 points''' for this small prairie (for 2 tipi camps).<br>
{{ColorBlue|BLUE}} alone scores the points for the large central prairie, as the player has the most '''farmers''' here. This scores '''16 points''' (4 points for 2 tipi camps and 12 points for 3 herds of wild horses). The {{ColorYellow|YELLOW}} farmer scores no points.]]
}}
{{EndBlock}}
{{EndBlockList}}
=== Scoring Gold ===
<!--T:81-->
All players flip over their Mining tokens and score 1 point for each gold nugget depicted on them. Mining tokens depicting gravel score no points.
{{BeginBlockList|600px}}
{{Block|
[[File:Goldrush_Ex29_ScoreTokens.jpg|frame|{{ColorBlue|BLUE}} collected 9 Mining tokens during the game and scores the following points:<br>
&nbsp;3 points (3x 1 nugget tokens) +<br>
&nbsp;8 points (4x 2 nugget tokens) +<br>
&nbsp;5 points (1x 5 nugget token) +<br>
&nbsp;0 points (1x gravel token) = '''16 points''']]
}}
{{EndBlock}}
{{EndBlockList}}
'''The player with the most points is the winner. In case of a tie, the tied players enter a staring duel (or contest if there are more than two). The last cowboy to blink wins!'''
== Tips/House Rules ==
* If you find that the four cowboys isn't enough, or your opponent has managed to trap your cowboys on features that will never complete because there is no suitable tile remaining, you could adopt the house rule, based on one in the earlier [[South Seas]], that allows you to remove a follower from the board (without scoring) instead of placing a follower. Alternatively use some other type of marker for the scoreboard and use the 5th cowboy in the game.
== Tile Distribution ==
