General info and comments
The Fortune Teller was released by HiG in 2016. It was the 3rd official PnP expansion for the 1st edition and in same time the first official PnP expansion for the 2nd edition. Original design by Jeffrey Puttnam.
Mysterious fortune tellers have been appearing across the land of Carcassonne, possessing the ability to see what lies ahead. This rare profession may bring an advantage to those hoping to get a glimpse into the future…
The tiles and rules files published by HiG are available here:

The Fortune Teller
Rules
Preparation
At the start of the game, shuffle the fortune teller tiles with the rest of the tiles. For this expansion, we recommend to draw the tiles out of a bag (e. g. from the 2nd expansion).
Gameplay
1. Placing a tile
The fortune teller tiles are placed according to normal Carcassonne rules.
2. Placing a meeple
If a player plays a tile with a fortune teller, he may deploy a meeple as a fortune teller on the tent. He may instead place a meeple on the other features on the tile, according to the normal rules.
Every player may have only 2 meeples on a fortune teller tent at the same time.
Benefit of the fortune teller
For every meeple on a fortune teller tent the player may draw 1 extra tile out of the bag at the beginning of his turn.
This can be 3 tiles maximum, if he has 2 fortune tellers as permitted.
From the drawn tiles the player chooses one and places it. He puts the other(s) tile(s) back in the bag and shuffles it.
If a player loses a fortune teller (see 3. Scoring a feature) he also loses the ability to draw an extra tile.
3. Scoring a feature
The fortune teller tent is completed
When a tile with a fortune teller has tiles on every 4 sides the tent has been completed and gets scored. The player, who placed the last of the 4 tiles gets 3 points. This can also be the player who owns the fortune teller.
The owner immediately takes back the fortune teller in his stock.
The ability (drawing an extra tile) of this fortune teller cannot be used anymore.
Final scoring
A fortune teller that remains on a tile at the end of the game will not earn any points.
Other expansions
The Fortune Teller is designed to work with any and all Carcassonne expansions. Rules specific to certain expansions work in the following ways.
Exp. 2 - Traders and Builders:
Neither the pig nor the builder may be deployed as a Fortune Teller.
If a player’s turn is extended via a builder, the player will NOT redraw for a new tile, but will instead use the second tile that was drawn at the beginning of his turn. If a player has multiple tiles due to having two Fortune Tellers, he must choose which tile to place for his double turn.
If placing a tile from your supply (a German castle, a Halfling tile) triggers a double turn, you will be allowed to draw the maximum number of tiles allowed by your fortune tellers for the second part of your turn. You may decide to place another tile from your supply (a German castle, a Halfling tile, an abbey) instead.
Question:
What happens of you decide to place a Halfling or a German castle and then you get a double turn. Do you draw 3 tiles if you have two fortune tellers for the second part of your double turn?
Answer: If triggering a double turn as result of a halfling tile, German castle, etc. then you would always draw the maximum tiles that your fortune tellers allow and choose from them. [1] (1/2021)
After drawing extra tiles for your fortune tellers, if you get a double turn, you cannot place a tile from your supply (a German castle, a Halfling tile, an abbey) in the second part of your turn unless you had to discard all the tiles you drew for invalid placements.
Question:
If you draw three tiles and the placement of your first tile grants you a double turn, can you discard the rest and place an abbey, for example? If possible, whan could you decide this?
Answer: You would not be allowed to place an abbey or any other special tile. That decision has to be made before triggering your fortune teller and drawing extra tiles. [1] (1/2021)
Exp. 3 - The Princess and the Dragon:
A meeple that is used as a fortune teller is subject to the same rules as a normal meeple in this expansion:
- A fortune teller is vulnerable to the dragon, unless protected by the fairy.
- The fairy will provide 1 bonus point to a player if it remains next to a Fortune Teller at the beginning of that players turn.
- If a fortune teller tent is completed, the fairy will provide 3 bonus points to the player with the deployed meeple together with the fairy onto the tent, regardless of which player completes it.
Also, a magic portal can be used to teleport any meeple to any unoccupied, and incomplete fortune teller tent.
Exp. 4 - The Tower:
A fortune teller can be captured by a tower per the usual tower capturing rules.
Exp. 5 - Abbey & Mayor:
The mayor may not be deployed as a fortune teller. The wagon may be deployed as such. Also, the wagon can be placed on and moved from a fortune teller tent in his usual function as a wagon.
Exp. 6 - Count, King and Robber:
A meeple may not be moved onto a fortune teller tent from the City of Carcassonne.
Exp. 7 - The Catapult:
A fortune teller is eligible to be both knocked-off and seduced by those respective tokens.
