↑ The phantom acts as a normal follower, and the phantom can be the 2nd figure placed in a turn. ↑ If there are no pennantscoats of arms in the city, the mayor counts zero and alone cannot score the city. But the mayor, even at zero, does "occupy" the city and prevents other followersmeeples being deployed there. He also is a valid “followermeeple” for adding a builder in the city (as is the wagon). ↑ A player can add up to 3 extra guard followersmeeples by completing cemeteries. ↑ ^4.0 ^4.1 ^4.2 ^4.3 If next to an acrobat in a pyramid, the fairy affects all the followersmeeples in that pyramid. ↑ ^5.0 ^5.1 ^5.2 ^5.3 Monastic buildings are: cloistersmonasteries, abbeys, shrines, German monasteries, Dutch/Belgian monasteries, Japanese buildings, Darmstadt churches. German Cathedrals are not considered. ↑ ^6.0 ^6.1 ^6.2 ^6.3 ^6.4 A followermeeple placed on a tile with a tower foundation and piecefloor(s) on it -used to stop the tower being heightened and capturing prisoners. A followermeeple on a tower does not count toward the majority of any completed feature of which the tile may be a part. ↑ ^7.0 ^7.1 ^7.2 ^7.3 ^7.4 ^7.5 There is no official rule or clarification about this case, so the rule applied here is an extension of followersmeeples valid as monks. ↑ ^8.00 ^8.01 ^8.02 ^8.03 ^8.04 ^8.05 ^8.06 ^8.07 ^8.08 ^8.09 ^8.10 ^8.11 ^8.12 ^8.13 This figure deployment method is possible as long as the followermeeple is placed on a valid feature: The mayor can only be placed in cities. Castle tokens are not allowed. The wagon cannot be deployed on farmsfields. The abbot can only be deployed on monastic buildings or gardens. Magic portals can only deploy a followermeeple to an unoccupied feature. Flying machines can deploy a followermeeple to an occupied feature. Flying machines cannot deploy a followermeeple to a farmfield. Add FollowerMeeple symbols cannot deploy more than one followermeeple next to the given one. This figure deployment method cannot be used to place a followermeeple on a castle. ↑ ^9.0 ^9.1 This figure deployment method is possible if not used by another followermeeple earlier in the same turn. ↑ The wagon can be moved to an adjoining unoccupied uncompleted feature after scoring, if available, or returned to the player's supply. ↑ The mayor is only permitted in castle quarterdistrict. ↑ The wagon is not permitted in market quarterdistrict. ↑ The abbot is only permitted in cathedral quarterdistrict. ↑ The mayor can only be exchanged with followermeeple placed in a city or on a castle token. You gain no points on a castle token. ↑ The wagon cannot be exchanged with a followermeeple placed on a farmfield. ↑ The abbot can only be exchanged with followermeeple in monastic building or garden. ↑ ^17.0 ^17.1 ^17.2 ^17.3 There is no official rule or clarification about this case, but any followermeeple placed on a road should be allowed in the City of Leipzig. ↑ ^18.0 ^18.1 ^18.2 ^18.3 ^18.4 ^18.5 ^18.6 There is no rule or official clarification about this case, but any followermeeple should be a valid candidate to go to a free bathhouse. ↑ ^19.0 ^19.1 ^19.2 ^19.3 ^19.4 ^19.5 ^19.6 A followermeeple can take flight from a plague if placed on features with more than one (noninfested) tile that can be reached without going over holes or areas with fleas: roads, cities, farmsfields. Special cases: Mayors can only take flight in cities. Mayors cannot be placed on roads or farmsfields. Wagons can only take flight in roads and cities. Wagons cannot be placed on farmsfields. ↑ ^20.0 ^20.1 ^20.2 ^20.3 ^20.4 ^20.5 ^20.6 ^20.7 A player can choose to exchange one followermeeple in play with another player after placing La Porxada tile. If the chosen player refuses, the player will have to discard one of his or her followersmeeples for the remainder of the game. ↑ FollowersMeeples cannot be redeployed to castles. Castles are not cities but a different type of feature. ↑ ^22.0 ^22.1 ^22.2 ^22.3 ^22.4 ^22.5 Only followersmeeples placed in a city can be seduced by the princess. ↑ ^23.0 ^23.1 ^23.2 ^23.3 ^23.4 Even followersmeeples on top of another tower can be captured. ↑ Only by a Shield crop circle. ↑ Only by a Club crop circle or Shield crop circle. ↑ Abbots can be removed from monastic building or garden. In the process the feature (albeit incomplete) is scored too. ↑ ^27.0 ^27.1 ^27.2 ^27.3 ^27.4 ^27.5 ^27.6 There is no rule or official clarification about this case, but any followermeeple moved to a bathhouse should be allowed to be removed by surrounding the bathhouse or after paying back. ↑ ^28.00 ^28.01 ^28.02 ^28.03 ^28.04 ^28.05 ^28.06 ^28.07 ^28.08 ^28.09 ^28.10 ^28.11 ^28.12 ^28.13 Players will be able to remove one followermeeple per turn if no other action takes place during the "Move Wood" phasephase 2. Placing a Meeple. ↑ ^29.0 ^29.1 ^29.2 ^29.3 ^29.4 ^29.5 ^29.6 ^29.7 A player will have to remove one of his or her followersmeeples from the remainder of the game if refusing a followermeeple exchange requested by the player who placed La Porxada tile. ↑ ^30.0 ^30.1 ^30.2 ^30.3 ^30.4 ^30.5 There is no official rule or clarification about this case, but the City Of Leipzig should provide the same protection from the dragon as the City of Carcassonne. ↑ ^31.0 ^31.1 ^31.2 ^31.3 ^31.4 ^31.5 There is no official rule or clarification about this case, but the City Of Leipzig should provide the same protection from towers as the City of Carcassonne. ↑ ^32.0 ^32.1 ^32.2 ^32.3 ^32.4 ^32.5 There is no official rule or clarification about this case, but the City Of Leipzig should provide the same protection from the plague as the City of Carcassonne.

↑ Pigs provide additional points to cities and castles when scoring farmsfields. ↑ The barn can be placed on the intersection of 4 tiles where only farmfield segments meet. But if using other tile geometries: In case of Halfling tiles, one or more quarters of the intersections can be triangular tiles as long as the base ground for the barn is stable so it cannot wiggle. This means that under the barn: all tiles have to touch each other in the middle; no quarter is empty in the middle; and all tiles have farmfield in the middle for the placement of the barn. In case of double-sized tiles, one double-size tile can occupy one or two quarters of the intersection as long as the tile portion at the intersection only contains a farmfield segment. ↑ ^3.00 ^3.01 ^3.02 ^3.03 ^3.04 ^3.05 ^3.06 ^3.07 ^3.08 ^3.09 ^3.10 ^3.11 If the last supporting followermeeple of the builder is removed from the board, the builder will also be removed. ↑ ^4.0 ^4.1 ^4.2 ^4.3 ^4.4 ^4.5 ^4.6 ^4.7 ^4.8 If the last supporting followermeeple of the pig is removed from the board, the pig will also de removed. ↑ ^5.0 ^5.1 ^5.2 ^5.3 ^5.4 ^5.5 ^5.6 ^5.7 The rules of La Porxada only mention followersmeeples so special figures are not considered. ↑ The dragon eats the shepherd and the sheep by it. ↑ Monastic buildings are: cloistersmonasteries, abbeys, shrines, German monasteries, Dutch/Belgian monasteries, Japanese buildings, Darmstadt churches. German Cathedrals are not considered. ↑ If a shepherd is removed using The FestivalThe Festival, there is no official rule or clarification about what happens to the sheep next to it, so it is assumed they stay on the board. ↑ ^9.0 ^9.1 ^9.2 The fairy cannot be assigned to special figures but the fairy protects them from the dragon when placed on the same tile.

↑ ^1.0 ^1.1 The counting followersscoring meeples and the messengers are placed on the "0" space during game setup. ↑ ^2.0 ^2.1 The counting followerscoring meeple and the messenger can trigger messages for the active player when landing on a dark space. The 2nd Edition ZMG rules add a condition: Players can only draw message tiles when their counting figurescoring figure landing on a dark space does not share the space with other players' figures. If another player's counting followerscoring meeple or messenger is on the same dark space, a message tile cannot be drawn. ↑ The robbers are placed on the same space as a counting followerscoring meeple or a messenger belonging to one or more player. Only the active player and the next player to the left with no robber on the scoreboard are allowed to place it. Therefore, not all players have a chance to place their robbers on the scoreboard. Deploying the robber is optional, that is, players may place their robber when allowed to. The HiG rules state that: Only the active player and the next player to the left with no robber on the scoreboard are allowed to place it. Therefore, not all players have a chance to place their robbers on the scoreboard. Deploying the robber is optional, that is, players may place their robber when allowed to. The ZMG rules state that: All players with robbers in their supply will place them on the scoreboard starting by the active player. Deploying the robber is not optional, that is, all players place their robbers if not already on the scoreboard. ↑ ^4.0 ^4.1 ^4.2 The robber can steal points scored by one counting figurescoring figure from another player on the same space. However, some points cannot be robbed: points stolen from another player (rogue points), bazaar payments, tower ransom, bathhouse payment. ↑ The robber can move on scoreboard in the following cases -The scoring of its player remains unaffected: The active player can move the robber to another space with one or more players' counting figuresscoring figures after placing a robber tile. If the robber moves along with a counting figurescoring figure that scored points that cannot be robbed: points stolen from another player (rogue points), bazaar payments, tower ransom, bathhouse payment. ↑ A robber is removed from the scoreboard after stealing points from another player. The robber is returned to the player's supply until it can be deployed again. ↑ ^7.0 ^7.1 ^7.2 ^7.3 At the end of the game but before starting final scoring, each player adds up the scores of their counting figuresscoring figures (the counting followerscoring meeple and the messenger). Then each player places one counting figurescoring figure on their achieved total and removes the other one. The counting figurescoring figure left on the scoreboard will be used for the final scoring. ↑ Players with robbers on the scoreboard will score 3 points and remove them before the final scoring.

↑ Wooden bridges serve as road segments. They are added to the basic landscape provided by tiles. ↑ The Count of Carcassonne avoids the deployment of followersmeeples from the City of Carcassonne quarterdistrict it is placed on. ↑ Ghosts subtract points in scorings during the game and after the game. They only affect players with the majority. ↑ The fairy, when next to a followermeeple, provides additional scoring at the beginning of a turn or while scoring a completed feature. If the fairy is assigned to an acrobat in a pyramid, all the acrobats in the pyramid can benefit from the 1-point fairy bonus but the 3-point fairy scoring bonus does not affect them. ↑ ^5.0 ^5.1 The big pink pig on the Wheel of Fortune marks the event to trigger: additional scoring or followermeeple removal. ↑ The dragon can eat and remove from the game board any figure on its menu. ↑ A tower can capture and remove a followermeeple within its action range. ↑ Any followermeeple added 3 ghosts will be returned to its owner without scoring. ↑ The fairy provides protection from the dragon to all the figures on the dragon menu when placed on the same tile as the fairy. ↑ ^10.0 ^10.1 The fairy can be deployed next to followersmeeples placed on features outside, but never inside: The City of Carcassonne The Wheel of Fortune The fairy can be deployed next to followersmeeples placed on features outside the City of Leipzig, but it should never be allowed inside due to its similarities to the City of Carcassonne (to be confirmed.) ↑ The dragon can move and eat figures on its menu placed on features outside, but never inside: The City of Carcassonne The Wheel of Fortune The School The dragon can be deployed next to followersmeeples placed on features outside the City of Leipzig, but it should never be allowed inside due to its similarities to the City of Carcassonne (to be confirmed.) ↑ Monastic buildings are: cloistersmonasteries, abbeys, shrines, German monasteries, Dutch/Belgian monasteries, Japanese buildings, Darmstadt churches.

[2] If there are no pennantscoats of arms in the city, the mayor counts zero and alone cannot score the city. But the mayor, even at zero, does "occupy" the city and prevents other followersmeeples being deployed there. He also is a valid “followermeeple” for adding a builder in the city (as is the wagon).

[3] A player can add up to 3 extra guard followersmeeples by completing cemeteries.

all tiles have to touch each other in the middle;

no quarter is empty in the middle; and

all tiles have farmfield in the middle for the placement of the barn.

In case of double-sized tiles, one double-size tile can occupy one or two quarters of the intersection as long as the tile portion at the intersection only contains a farmfield segment.
