Gameplay
1. Placing a tile
If you draw a season tile, you place it according to the usual rules.
Note: When playing with L'hivern, snow patches separate fields and roads.
Pregunta: When playing with The Winter, do the snow patches on the tiles separate fields?
Resposta: The snow separates all fields. (5/2026)
2. Placing a meeple
You can place one of your meeple on the season tile according to the usual rules.
Note: When playing with L'hivern, you may not place a meeple on the snowed field sections of its tiles.
Pregunta: When playing with The Winter, can you place a meeple on a snow patch?
Resposta: You cannot place a meeple in the snow. (5/2026)
Statue tiles
You will find 1 statue tile in each of the The 4 Seasons series.
The Spring statue
The Summer statue
The Autumn statue
The Winter statue
The following rule applies to all 4 statue tiles of The 4 Seasons:
If your tile is horizontally, vertically or diagonally adjacent to a statue tile of the 4 Seasons after being placed, you may place 2 meeples on this tile in different features.
Example 1:You place the tile you have drawn on the spring statue. Now you place a meeple on the road and another meeple on the city there.
When combining L'hivern with the Winter Edition game, you may not place a meeple in the green field segments of these tiles. Only the snowed field segments are allowed.
Pregunta: So snow patches in The Winter cannot be occupied and they separate fields and roads in a regular game. Is this behavior the same if this mini is combined with the Winter Edition base game?
Resposta: When you play with the Winter Edition, it’s the other way around. You can occupy the snow fields and the normal fields with grass separates them. (5/2026)
3. Scoring a feature
La primavera tiles
You now score points for garden and spring tiles that are horizontally, vertically or diagonally adjacent to the spring tile you have placed:
For each garden you get 3 points
For each spring tile you get 1 point
Note: The flowers and flowerbeds on the spring tiles, especially the flowerbeds around the monastery, do not count as a garden.
Example 2:You place the spring tile you have drawn. At the end of your turn, you receive 7 points: 3 points each for the two gardens and 1 point for the other spring tile there (bottom left).
L'estiu tiles
For water that is vertically, horizontally or diagonally adjacent to the summer tile you have placed, you now receive points.
For each tile that shows water and/or a water tower, you receive 2 points.
Note: You also score 2 points for a summer tile with water on it, if it's placed within the radius of the summer tile you have placed.
If there is more than one water on a tile, you still get 2 points.
The summer tile just placed does not generate any points itself, even if it has water on it. Water can be depicted in different ways, e.g:
Water tower
Water trough
Fountain
River source
Example 3:You place your drawn summer tile. At the end of the turn you score 8 points: 2 points each for the two river tiles, a water tower and the fountain. For your placed tile itself you do not score any points.
You can find water on tiles here, among other places: the river, the ferries, the drawbridges, the Ukraine tile, the castles in Germany, inns. Water wells in cities, at crossroads and on roads in general will not be considered.
Pregunta: Do water wells grant points when placing a summer tile? You may find them in cities and at crossroads.
Resposta: No they don't.
They would fit thematically, but the water wells are too small and hidden in the middle of the cities, which would be too confusing in a larger game. (4/2025)
A well in a city
A well at a crossroads

Resposta: No. (4/2026)

Farmhouses and stables (cowshed, donkey stable or pigsty) always look like this:
Example 4:You place your drawn Autumn tile. At the end of your turn you receive 6 points: 2 points each for the donkey stable and the cowshed, and 2 points for the farmhouse.

For highwaymen and wild animals that are vertically, horizontally or diagonally adjacent to the winter tile you have placed, you immediately receive 2 points.

Water tiles
General Comments
Tiles with water wells in cities, at crossroads or on roads in general are not considered water tiles.
Tiles with ice or snow are not considered water tiles, unless they show liquid water.
Each half of the double-sized river source tile counts as a separate water tile (El riu (20è aniversari)).
Pregunta: If a summer tile is placed adjacent to the double-sized tile with the river source, does it grant 2 points per half tile? If the answer is yes, the active player would score 6 points for the tile placement in this example.
Resposta: Yes, you get 6 points. (4/2025)
Example: The summer tile is placed adjacent to the double-sized river source. The player receives 6 points (2 points for each adjacent half of the river source tile + 2 points for the other adjacent river tile).
Pregunta: When playing with The Winter, do the snow patches on the tiles separate fields?
Els agroglifs (de l'edició d'hivern). No, for 
El gingebret (de l'edició d'hivern) tiles, because it’s about wild animals (these tiles only feature Santa Claus's reindeers). (4/2026)
