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.
When you see END GAME, in this step can game end. Check conditions, if game end. If so, go to Scoring After the Game
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 the Olomouc Curd Cheese:
- after placement of the Curd Cheese in the city when the city is enlarged but not finished, one of followersmeeples must be removed from this city together with the curd cheese to the followermeeple player supply. If there is no followersmeeples in the city, the curd cheese is kept in the city,
- after placement/moved followermeeplein any phase of the turn of any player, to the city with the curd cheese, placed followermeeple together with the curd cheese to the followermeeple player supply. When you see CURD CHEESE, check if this action applies.
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.

Step 2D: The Dragon Moves

HiG & ZMG rules: If a dragon symbol was on the placed tile, move the dragon.
If a dragon symbol was on the placed tile, move the dragon.

3. Scoring a feature

Step 3A: Identify Completed Features

Identify all completed features and special figures:
- Features and special figures completed by tile placement or by abbey placement or by halfling placement or by German castle placement or by wonder tile placement
  - Roads
  - Cities
  - Monastic buildings:
    - Monastery
    - Abbey
    - Shrine
    - German monastery (with monk)
    - Dutch & Belgian monastery (with monk)
    - Japanese building (with monk)
    - Darmstadt church
  - Baba Yaga's hut
  - Gardens
  - German castles (except by another German castle)
  - German cathedrals
  - Haunted castles
  - Cemeteries
  - Easter Nest area
  - Fortune teller tent
  - Obelisk
- Castles completed by the completion of a nearby feature (not on the same turn that the castle itself was built)
- Cities completed by placement of a city bridge
- FarmsFields to be scored due to barn placement or joining of a farmfield with a farmer to one with a barn
- Roads or German cathedrals completed by placement of a bridge
- Roads or German cathedrals completed by placement of a tunnel token
- Roads or German cathedrals completed by placement or movement of a ferry
- Roads completed by placement of a city bridge
- If the tile placed completed the city with La Porxada, all players with knights in the city (majority is not considered) take one token to indicate their presence. This action is only necessary if the player who placed La Porxada chose the final scoring bonus
If a black dragon is in game, move the black dragon by 1 tile (square space with tile) for each completed feature.
Resolve control of the completed features.
- Normal followermeeple (1 vote)
- Big followerLarge meeple (2 votes)
- Wagon (1 vote)
- Mayor (1 vote per pennantcoat of arms in the city)
- Phantom (1 vote)
- Abbot (1 vote)
- Ringmaster (1 vote)
- Guard followermeeple (1 vote)
- Hill (If there is a tie, tied players with at least one followermeeple on a hill are considered to have control)
- Citizen's Jury scoring tile: All players in a city share the majority no matter their votes
Each player receiving points chooses the order in which their features and special figures resolve.
- Exception: You determine the scoring order if scoring multiple features controlled by different players and some arbitration is required.
- Exception: You determine the scoring order if there are free bathhouses and multiple features with one followermeeple are scored.
- Exception: A castle must be resolved immediately after any feature which triggers its completion (the castle owner selects the feature if multiple features in the fief were completed by the same tile placement).
- Exception: Completed castles overlapping other completed castles' fiefs must be resolved together.
Perform Step 3B for each completed feature and special figures in the order chosen.

Step 3B: Resolve Completed Features and special figures

If a townsmall city was created by the tile placement, the townsmall city may be converted into a castle by the occupying player. If converted, this feature’s completion is considered to be resolved. Go to the next feature.
If the Gingerbread Man is in a completed city, all players with knights in the city receive points. You then place the Gingerbread Man in an unfinished city of your choice, or you put it aside if none is available. (How this would interact with a newly-formed castle is unknown. As a castle is no longer a city, the Gingerbread Man should likely be removed with no scoring.) ROBBER CHOICE WONDER

↑ This action it is placed before the opportunity to place a followermeeple in the City of Carcassonne because the placement of the tile could earn the player gingerbread points, and thus prevent placement of a followermeeple in the City of Carcassonne. Of course, since the Gingerbread Man would have to be creatively added to a game of standard-version Carcassonne anyway, this is unlikely to come up very often.
