General info and comments
Expansion symbol
The Labyrinth Expansion was released as a set of rules by HiG for the third edition, known as C3 for short, in 2026. It is not a proper release but a mini expansion that uses some components of the Carcassonne Labyrinth game produced as a collaboration between Ravensburger and HiG in 2026 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Carcassonne.
The game belongs to the third edition, which includes more detailed graphics than previous editions and cities with clipped buildings.
This expansion is designed for 2-4 players.
Contents
From Carcassonne Labyrinth, you need the following components:
8 different treasure tokens
Treasure tokens
1 crown per player in their color
Crown figure in a player color
8 treasure tiles per player with backs in their color
Treasure tiles in a player color
8 random tiles per player
Normal Carcassonne Labyrinth land tiles
Rules
Preparation
Hand each player 1 crown and 8 treasure tiles in their chosen color. Shuffle your treasure tiles and place them in a face-down stack in front of you. These are your personal treasure tiles.
From the Carcassonne Labyrinth land tiles with light backs, take 8 random land tiles per player. Shuffle them and form 8 face-down stacks of equal height. Line them up next to the scoring board.
Place 1 different treasure marker on top of each of these stacks.
Example 1: Setup example with two players. Next to the scoreboard, players will find 8 stacks with 2 Carcassonne Labyrinth normal tiles each (the number of players in this case) and a treasure token on top. Each player will have a crown and a stack of treasure tiles in their color.
The remaining components from Carcassonne Labyrinth are not needed for this game.
Gameplay
1. Placing a tile
Instead of drawing a land tile from the tile stacks as usual, you may draw the top tile from your personal treasure tiles. Proceed as usual.
Placing two tiles
If there is a tile in your crown at the start of your turn (more on this later), take it into your hand before drawing a tile. Then, as usual, draw a land tile or the top tile from your personal treasure tiles.
Place both tiles in any order, connecting them to the existing landscape.
You may place the second of the two tiles adjacent to the first one, even if this would not have been possible before placing the first tile.
Example 2: Placing two tiles:
At the start of your turn, there is one land tile in your crown.
You pick it up and draw another tile from the tile stacks.
Now you place both tiles in any order.
As usual, the game ends as soon as the last land tile has been drawn from the face-down stacks and the current turn has ended. After that, you may no longer place any of your treasure tiles either.
2. Placing a meeple
You may place a meeple as usual. If you placed 2 land tiles during 1. Placing a tile, you may only place a meeple on the tile you placed second.
3. Scoring a feature
Score as usual. If you placed 2 land tiles during 1. Placing a tile, you now score all features completed by them.
Scoring roads with coats of arms
If you score points for a completed road, you score 2 additional points for each coat of arms next to that road.
Important: Roads end in forests.
Example 3:You completed the road. As usual, you score 4 points for that road and 2 additional points for each of the two coats of arms. So you score a total of 8 points for the road.
Scoring features with treasures
If a player has completed a feature with at least 1 treasure, score that feature as usual. If you score points, take the top tile from the stack with the corresponding treasure token. Place it in your crown so that only you can see it.
If the completed feature depicts more than one treasure, you must choose one. For each other treasure, you additionally score 2 points.
It does not matter who completed the feature.
Example 4:You have completed a road with 2 treasures and, as usual, you first score 4 points for it. Then you choose one of the 2 stacks with the corresponding treasure token, take the top tile, and place it in your crown. For the other treasure, you score 2 additional points (for a total of 6 points for the road).
If multiple players score points for a feature, you resolve the scoring in clockwise order, starting with the active player. If there is already a tile in your crown, you do not take a new tile. Instead, you score 2 additional points. You also score 2 points for a treasure if you cannot take a tile because the corresponding stack is empty.
Special case: If the same treasure appears multiple times in a completed feature, each symbol still counts as a separate treasure.
Example 5:You have completed the city. You and Red now score 8 points for that city, as usual. In addition, each of you – in clockwise order – chooses a treasure and takes a tile from the corresponding stack, starting with you . You place that tile in your crown. Furthermore, you both score 2 points each for every additional treasure in that city, so 2 + 2 = 4 points.
Final Scoring
During the final scoring, you score 1 point for each of your remaining personal treasure tiles. If there is still a tile in your crown, you also score 1 point for it. You also score 1 point for each coat of arms or treasure in your uncompleted roads or cities.
