Originally released by Hans im Glück in 2018 during Essen Spiel.

With this mini-expansion, you'll send your Meeples to the barber surgeon's. A bathhouse had several purposes during the Middle Ages. You could take a bath sharing the latest gossip as well as you could enjoy a highly professional medical treatment. Of course, your Meeple will be enjoying his time in the bathhouse, so he won't be able to help you. To get him back there are various possibilities...

Contents

• 6 new Land tiles with bathhouses.

Rules

Preparation

Shuffle the 6 Bathouses tiles and take as many as needed according to the number of players.

Number of players	2	3	4 and more
Bathhouses	4	5	6

Now shuffle the right number of Bathhouse tiles with the rest of the Land tiles. Put the unneeded Bathhouses tiles back into the box. This expansion has been developed for the Carcassonne basic game. All of the rules remain the same.

On the one hand, you can score more points when scoring cities or roads with bathhouses. On the other hand, Meeples can be attracted by bathouses forcing them to stay there.

Getting a bathhouse points

1. Placing a tile

When you draw a Bathhouse tile, you place it according to the normal rules.

Placing a meeple

After having placed a Bathhouse tile, you have to (if you can) place your Meeple according to normal rules, i.e. you can place him on a road, in a city or on a field. However, you cannot place the Meeple on the bathhouse itself.

You place the tile with the bathhouse and put a Meeple in the city.

Initiate scoring with bathhouse

Havinf finished a city with a bathhouse, you score as usual. In addition to the normal points, the owner of the city gets the number of points shown on the banner (3,4 or 5). If there are more bathhouses in a scored, all bathhouse points count.

The same applies for roads next to bathhouses.

You finish ans score a city. You get a total 9 points (6 points for the 3 city tiles and 3 points for the bathhouse).

Visiting a bathouse after scoring

1. Placing a tile

When you draw a Bathhouse tile, you place it according to the normal rules.

Placing a meeple

Meeple placement is not affected in this scenario.

Scoring a feature

If there is only one single Meeple involved in a scoring and if there is at least one free bathhouse, you have to place your Meeple sideways in one of the free bathhouse (or in the only free bathhouse) immediately after the scoring. You score as usual.

After the scoring of the small city, you place your Meeple in he bathhouse.

Respect the following rules:

• A bathhouse is free if there is no Meeple in it.
• If there are several free bathhouses, you can choose in which one you want to place your Meeple.
• If there are several Meeples involved in the scoring, you get all Meeples back (even if all Meeples belong to one player).
• If there is no free bathhouse, you get your Meeple back.
• If there are several scoring caused by one single Land tile you have to look at one scoring at a time. The player who has placed the Land tile decides in which order the scoring are carried out.

Leaving bathouse

You have two possibilities to get back your Meeple who has been placed in the bathhouse.

1. Placing a tile

Getting back a Meeple from the bathhouse for free.

If a player places the last Land tile surrounding a bathhouse (the same way you complete monasteries), the Meeple placed in the bathhouse can be taken back immediately and for free.

Blue surrounds the bathhouse completely with his Land tile. You can take your Meeple back.

Note!

• If you place a Meeple in a bathhouse which is already surrounded by 8 Land tiles, you cannot get him back for free.
• If you realize that there is still a Meeple in a bathhouse which has already been completely surrounded in a preceding round, you are not allowed to take him back for free anymore.

Placing a meeple

To get back your Meeple you can also pay with points. Move back your Meeple on the scoring board. The number of points you lose depends on the number shown on the respective bathhouse (2,3 or 4). You are allowed to have less than 0 points.

You take your Meeple back to your stash after having paid 4 points (as indicated by the Bathhouse tile). You move your Meeple 4 points backwards.

You can rebuy a Meeple after having placed a land tile. You are allowed to place this Meeple in the same round.

Scoring a feature

Scoring is not affected in this scenario.

If a Meeple leaves the bathhouse, it is free again and ready to welcome antother Meeple.

Festival Symbol

Originally released by Hans im Glück in 2018 during Essen Spiel.

With his mini expansion, containing six well-known German monasteries, you'll have the possibility to score your monasteries in a renewed way. However, you'll only know at the end of the game whether you've made a profitable decision.

Contents

• 6 new Land tiles showing existing monasteries in Germany.

Rules

Although the Meeple can be used as an abbot in this expansion, this should not be confused with the Abbot meeple from The Abbot expansion

Preparation

Remove the “original” monastery tiles from the base game and return them to the box. Mix the six new Monastery tiles in with the rest of the game tiles.

1. Placing a tile

The tiles of this expansion are placed following the basic rules of Carcassonne.

2. Placing a meeple

If a player draws one of the German Monastery tiles, he places it according to the normal rules. He then has two options when deploying a follower on the monastery:

1. As a Monk: In this option, the monastery is treated like a monastery in the base game, and all the normal scoring rules remain the same; or
2. As an Abbot: In this option, the follower is considered an abbot of the monastery. To emphasize this, the player stands the follower on its side to signify that the monastery will be scored differently than a cloister. The monastery scores only at the end of the game.

You place the tile with the Lorch Monastery. As you decide to place as an abbot, you place it sideways on the monastery.

These two options are available whenever a follower would be placed on the cloister: initial tile placement, wagon movement, magic portal, flier, etc.

===3a. Scoring a monk 3=A follower placed on a Monastery as a monk follows the regular scoring rules of Carcassonne. ===

User:MajFrost does not affect scoring.

3b. Final scoring of an abbot

An abbot on a monastery is not scored until the end of the game. For his abbot, the player receives 1 point per tile present in the vertical column and horizontal row outward from the monastery. The monastery tile itself also scores 1 point. Any empty spaces in the monastery’s row or column interrupt the series of tiles that score for the monastery.

Example: BLUE and RED have each deployed an abbot during the game, and these are now scored at game end. The BLUE abbot scores 2 + 0 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 6 points. (Since there is a gap in the row to the right of BLUE'S monastery, no points are earned in that direction.) The RED abbot scores 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 10 points.

Interactions with other expansions

The Flying Machines

If a second follower is placed on the special Monastery through use of the The Flying Machines, the player can choose to make the new follower either a monk or an abbot, regardless of the identity of the first follower there. However, if the special Monastery is already surrounded by 8 tiles, thus representing a completed cloister, the second follower must be an abbot.

The Hills and Sheeps

When using special Monasteries, the vineyard bonus is applied to the special Monastery if the follower is placed as a monk and the feature is scored as a finished cloister. However, the vineyard bonus is not applied if a follower is placed as an abbot on a Monastery, as the abbot scores only at the end of the game, when the vineyard has no effect.
