The Hans Statue (Fan Expansion)

The Hans Statue is a new game piece to place on tiles, which grants the features on them a rich scoring bonus.

This expansion is independent of tile design and can be played with any edition of Carcassonne or any spin-off (with small adaptations to the rules).

If your tiles have a different design, then choose a game from Spin-offs.

Contents

• 1 game piece representing a statue of Hans riding a pig.

Required expansions

The Hans Statue requires a set of tiles from any expansion(s), as long they have an easily recognizable logo or watermark on them. The players choose and agree on what set and how many tiles of that set to use.  The Spiel Promo tiles are the ideal choice since they don't come with rules. The number of tiles needed is at least 1.

This expansion may also be played with only the  Base Game. In that case, it will be required to choose tiles with features like Villages, Water Towers, Garden etc. as tiles for this expansion.

Rules

Preparation

• Choose a set of tiles, ideally from a mini-expansion ( The Festival,  Spiel Promos, etc. or tiles with some other features like Village, Water Tower, etc.) and how many of those tiles to use.
• Shuffle the chosen landscape tiles in with those from the base game and stack them normally.
• The Hans Statue should be placed at the side of the table, and will be brought into play once the game is underway.

Gameplay

1. Placing a tile

When any tiles of the chosen set get drawn, they are placed exactly like those in the base game, and/or following the rules of the chosen set.

Put the Hans Statue from outside the game or from a previously-placed tile on the just-placed tile in such a way that no information is covered, if possible.

The Hans Statue is not associated with either a structure or a field on the tile, instead it affects the entire landscape tile.

Example 1: Red place a tile chosen for this expansion and places the Hans Statue there immediately after tile placement.

2. Placing a meeple

You may place a meeple according to the usual rules.

Example 2: Red scores 20 by placing a meeple to city on the just-placed tile.

3. Scoring a feature

If a road, city, or cloister on a tile where the Hans Statue is placed is scored, the player gets a final 2× points multiplier!

Friendly variant

The maximum you can get from the Hans Statue is 40 points.

Example 3: Red scores 6 points for the road (2×3 points for the Hans Statue on a tile with that road).

Final Scoring

The 2× points multiplier still counts at the end of the game.

1. Introduction

This Expansion Selector allows you to pick what expansions (or parts of them) to use in the reference pages of WICA. According to your selection, the Order of Play and Scoring sections will be adapted. This way, you can customize WICA to suit your game without any hinderance from the expansions left out.

As hinted above, the expansions combining multiple elements permit a fine-grain selection of its elements. For example, you can choose the abbey tiles and the wagon from "Abbey & Mayor" and to leave out the barn and the mayor.

2. Use Guide

The selector has several tabs and below there is an area that lists the current selection at all times, no matter the tab displayed.

You can click on any tab label to go to the desired tab. Additional clicks on a selected tab will collapse it and expand it back in order to access the selector when needed. Switching to another tab will expand the selector automatically.

The following sections describe the tabs and their functionality.

2.1. "Expansions" tabs

The first three (or four) tabs from the left allow you to pick expansions in full or partially when possible.

• Major expansions: lists all official major expansions by HiG.
• Minor expansions: lists all official minor expansions by HiG and some of their licensed equivalents.
• Other expansions: lists the rest of licensed and unofficial expansions as well as those Print & Play and Cut & Play expansions released by HiG.
• Fan expansions: lists some fan-made expansions. This tab may not be available in some cases.

These tabs show a listing of expansions where each label is preceded by a checkbox to allow its selection and deselection if full.

Those expansions with various components show a clickable "[+]" symbol after them when closed or "[–]" when open. In the latter case, all the components are displayed and can be selected and deselected individually.

Each tab has a text label in accordance with the format "Group (X/Y)" in order to identify the set of expansions listed (indicated by Group), the number of expansions selected (represented by X) and the total number available (represented by Y).

2.2. "Quick Selectors" tab

This is the fourth tab from the left. It allows you to choose from a predefined list of available expansions sets. This tab contains the following elements:

• A dropdown list and a "Select Expansions" button: They allow you select and load a predefined expansion bundle, such as a Big Box or all the expansions for the New Edition.
• The "Clear All" button empties your current with one click.
• The "Select All" button selects all the expansions available with one click.

2.3. "Filters" tab

This is the fifth tab from the left. It allows you to choose what Carcassonne editions are displayed and your preferred edition. The editions considered are the 1st Edition (C1), the New Edition (C2+C3), and the Winter Edition (WE), which is included in a creative way if some of its expansions are of interest.

The tab displays two panels:

• "Show Editions" panel: it contains a checkbox for each edition available (C1, C2+C3 and WE.) The selector will show the expansions belonging to the checked editions only. For example, if the 1st edition (C1) checkbox is selected, expansions such as "The Wheel Of Fortune" or "Halflings" will be eligible in the Expansion Selector, otherwise they will not be available for selection. At least one edition has to be selected, thus they cannot be deselected at the same time.
• "Preferred Edition" panel: it contains a set of radio buttons for the 1st Edition (C1), the New Edition (C2+C3) and the Winter Edition. The radio button selected will indicate the Expansion Selector which edition has precedence over the other when:
  • Describing the Game Reference, the Order of Play, the Scoring rules and Game Figures: If there are differences between editions, the preferred edition rules and wording will be displayed. For example, the movement of the dragon will be displayed in different steps in the Order of Play depending on whether C1 or C2+C3 is selected.
  • Displaying graphics in the Scoring sections: For expansions available in both editions, the images shown will correspond to the selected edition. Images from an expansion only existing in one edition will not change.

  The radio button for an edition will be enabled only if such an edition is available, that is, it is selected in the "Show Editions" panel.
  It also includes a checkbox with the label "Mark rules adaptations": If checked, all the rules displayed in the Game Reference, the Order of Play, and the Game Figures not corresponding to the preferred edition will be highlighted.

This tab shows a label similar to "Filters (C1/C2+C3/WE) #" that lists all the editions selected in parentheses and one of them is underlined, indicating that it is the preferred one. The hash sign "#" is present if rules adaptations are highlighted.

General rules

Scoring of The Hans Statue is in the form of a player bonus.

When a player scores negative points for a feature, a figure, or a token on a tile with the Hans Statue, the penalty is halved and rounded down (e.g. -3 points becomes -1).

The Hans Statue is placed on the tile immediately after tile placement, before any subsequent action or scoring triggered by placement.

The Obelisk

The score for the obelisk is doubled when the Hans Statue is placed on one of the four tiles on which a corner of the Obelisk is placed.
