Le printemps est arrivé à Carcassonne ! Admirez les jardins et les fleurs qui se répandent dans les prés !
L’été est enfin là ! Rafraîchissez-vous dans l’eau — qu’il s’agisse d’un lac, d’une fontaine ou d’une rivière ! Laissez vos meeples s’éclabousser et marquez des points supplémentaires !
L’automne, c’est le temps des récoltes ! C’est pourquoi nous accordons une attention particulière aux fermes et aux étables aux environs de Carcassonne.
L’hiver, la saison froide, commence ! Dans ce paysage fraîchement recouvert de neige, les bandits de grand chemin se joignent eux aussi à l’effervescence de la magie blanche !

Déroulement du jeu
1. Placement d’une tuile
Lorsque vous piochez une tuile, placez-la de façon à prolonger des zones existantes.
Note: When playing with Les Quatre Saisons : L’Hiver, snow patches separate fields and roads.
Question : When playing with The Winter, do the snow patches on the tiles separate fields?
Réponse : The snow separates all fields. (5/2026)
}}
2. Pose d’un meeple
Lorsque vous avez placé une tuile Printemps, vous pouvez y poser un meeple selon les règles habituelles.
Note: When playing with Les Quatre Saisons : L’Hiver, you may not place a meeple on the snowed field sections of its tiles.
Question : When playing with The Winter, can you place a meeple on a snow patch?
Réponse : You cannot place a meeple in the snow. (5/2026)
Tuiles Statue
Vous trouverez 1 tuile Statue dans chacune des séries des Quatre Saisons.
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.

When combining Les Quatre Saisons : L’Hiver 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.
Question : 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?
Réponse : 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
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.
A garden always looks like this:

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:

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.
Question : Do water wells grant points when placing a summer tile? You may find them in cities and at crossroads.
Question : When combining The Winter and The Summer, should we consider the tiles with snow as tiles with water?
Réponse : No, ice or snow (frozen water) isn’t considered as water by The Summer. (4/2026)
For farmhouses and stables that are vertically, horizontally or diagonally adjacent to the autumn tile you have placed, you now receive points. You immediately receive 2 points for each farmhouse or stable.
Farmhouses and stables (cowshed, donkey stable or pigsty) always look like this:

For highwaymen and autumn tiles that are vertically, horizontally or diagonally adjacent to the winter tile you have placed, you immediately receive 2 points.
You receive no points for the winter tile you just placed.
Highwaymen look like this (there may be several variations of the symbol):

For highwaymen and wild animals that are vertically, horizontally or diagonally adjacent to the winter tile you have placed, you immediately receive 2 points.
Question : A Winter tile grants a bonus for wild animals on adjacent Winter Edition tiles. Does this cover the 12 extra tiles in the Winter Edition base game?
Réponse : Yes. (4/2026)
Question : Does it also consider any wild animals on Winter Edition mini tiles such as Winter Edition The Gingerbread Man or Les Agroglyphes (édition Hiver)?
Réponse : Yes, for the
Les Agroglyphes (édition Hiver). No, for
Winter Edition The Gingerbread Man tiles, because it’s about wild animals (these tiles only feature Santa Claus's reindeers). (4/2026)

Autres extensions
Cette section contient des informations supplémentaires sur les interactions avec les autres extensions de Carcassonne.
Placing 2 meeples
A tile adjacent to a statue allows you to place 0, 1 or 2 wooden meeples. This is one single action.
- If you only place one wooden meeple, you cannot perform any other action instead of placing the second wooden meeple. [9]
- If you only place one or two wooden meeples, you may use direct placement and even another placement mechanic available for one of the meeples: magic portal (
Ext. 3 – Princesse et Dragon), flying machine (
Mini n°1 – Les Ornithoptères), "Add Meeple" / "Place Meeple" (
Extension du 20ᵉ anniversaire).
The wooden meeples that can be placed on the tile placed adjacent to a statue are the following:
After placing 0, 1 or 2 wooden meeples on the tile adjacent to a statue, you may place:
Ext. 2 – Marchands & Bâtisseurs
If you place a wooden meeple on a tile adjacent to a statue, you may not move the fairy instead of placing a second meeple.
If you place a wooden meeple on a tile adjacent to a statue, you cannot place a tower piece instead of placing a second wooden meeple.
If you place a tile with an acrobat space adjacent to a statue, you cannot add two acrobats to the pyramid.
If you place a tile adjacent to an acrobat space and to a statue, you can only add one acrobat to the pyramid instead of placing wooden meeples on the tile just placed.
If you activate an "Add Meeple" symbol when placing a tile adjacent to a statue, you can use the action with one wooden meeple and place the other wooden meeple on the tile as usual.
If you place one or two wooden meeples on a tile adjacent to a statue, you may protect each of them individually.
Water tiles
All river tiles are considered water tiles.
- 12 river tiles (
La Rivière I) - 12 river tiles (
La Rivière II) - 17 river tiles (
La Rivière du 20ᵉ anniversaire) - 12 river tiles (
La Rivière C3) - 3 cut-n-play river tiles (
CutCassonne) - 2 river tiles (
Games Quarterly n°11)
Each half of the double-sized river source tile counts as a separate water tile (
La Rivière du 20ᵉ anniversaire).
Question : 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.
Ext. 1 – Auberges & Cathédrales
Ext. 6 – Comte, Roi et Brigand
Ext. 8 – Ponts, Forteresses et Bazars
Only the left half of the Bentheim Castle tile counts as a water tile (it contains a fountain).
