Gameplay

1. Placing a tile

The peasants revolt

As soon as you draw a peasant revolt tile, a revolt takes place. Place the tile in front of you. Now check, if one or more of your meeples are standing on features shown on the diamond-shaped symbol of the tile (city, road or monastery), and if those meeples are "unprotected" or "protected".

• 

  All of your unprotected meeples on the respective features, must be returned into your supply immediately.
• 

  Every protected meeple on the respective features scores 2 points. Protected meeples remain protected after the revolt.

(How you can protect your meeples, will be explained in 2. Placing a meeple.)

Note: If you had to return at least one meeple, the revolt is over and you continue with your normal turn.

Example 1: You draw a land tile with the peasant revolt symbol for roads (symbol enlarged in this example).
Your unprotected meeple is standing on a road on the left. Put the meeple back into your supply. Your protected meeple on the right stays on the tile and scores 2 points.
The revolt is over. The blue meeple has not been affected. Now, place the land tile according to the usual rules and continue your turn.

The peasant revolt moves on to the next player

If you do not have to return a meeple to your supply, because none of your meeples are standing on affected features or because all of your meeples, on affected features, are protected, the peasant revolt moves on and hits the player to your left. They also check, in the same way as described before, whether or not the revolt affects them and if they score points for protected meeples. If they, also are not affected by the peasant revolt, it moves on to the next player.

This continues until a player has to return at least 1 meeple to their supply, or none of the players have been affected. Now, place the land tile according to the usual rules and continue your turn.

Note! Only players, who have to check their meeples during the peasant revolt, score points for their protected meeples. Players who are not hit by the peasant revolt cannot score any points for protected meeples.

Example 2: You draw a land tile with the peasant revolt symbol for cities (symbol enlarged in this example). All of your meeples in cities are protected and you score 4 points.
The peasant revolt moves on to Blue. Blue is sitting to your left, and continues to check, if and how the peasant revolt affects them. Blue has 1 protected meeple in the city on the left, which scores 2 points. The unprotected meeples have to be returned into Blue’s supply. That is how the revolt ends and you place the land tile according to the usual rules and continue your turn.

2. Placing a meeple

Protecting a meeple from a peasant revolt

If you place a meeple on the tile just placed, you may also protect this very meeple, for the cost of 4 points. To do so, move your meeple on the score board back by 4 spaces. It is possible to score negative points. Next, “lay down” this meeple. This meeple has now joined the farmers.

Example: Protecting a meeple

Each time you do not place a meeple on the tile you just have placed, you may protect one of your meeples standing on tiles for the cost of 2 points.

Farmers cannot be protected. They are never affected by peasant revolts.

A meeple “lying down” is protected from a peasant revolt. In case the revolt affects you, you score 2 points for each protected meeple in an affected feature (see 1. Placing a tile).

Example 3a: You place your meeple on the city.

Example 3b: You protect your meeple and lay it down. This costs you 4 points. Move your meeple on the score board back by 4 spaces.

Example 3c: You don't place a meeple on the city.

Example 3d: You don't place a new meeple. Instead, you protect an already placed meeple. This costs you 2 points: You have to move your meeple on the score board 2 spaces back.

3. Scoring a feature

When scoring a feature, a protected meeple is treated like a normal meeple. It is returned into your supply after the feature has been scored. After that, it loses its protection from peasant revolts. This means, that if you place that meeple again, it is unprotected once again.

Example: The city has been completed. You have the majority of meeples (2 in this case) and score 10 points.
Blue does not score any points. Return all meeples from the city back into your supplies and place them upright. They are now unprotected once more.

Punktacja końcowa

Final scoring is performed according to use usual rules. When scoring a feature, a protected meeple is treated like a normal meeple.

Rozszerzenie 3. - Księżniczka i Smok

Meeples placed with a magic portal can also be protected for 4 points.

Rozszerzenie 5. - Opactwo i burmistrz

A wagon stays protected until it return's to its owner's supply, even if it is placed on or moved to a feature that it is not affected by peasant revolts.

  Pytanie: When does a meeple lose its protection against peasant revolts? a) When the feature is scored (the meeple is still on the board) b) When the meeple is placed in the player's supply

Odpowiedź: A meeple loses its protection in the moment when you take the meeple back in your supply. (1/2021)

  Pytanie: Should we consider a protected wagon still protected if moved to another feature after scoring?

Odpowiedź: In the special case of the wagon, you can consider that the wagon keeps the protection after moving. (1/2021)

  Pytanie: The wagon should then keep its protection until it returns to the player's supply. Even it is placed on features that can't be affected by a peasant's revolt. Is this correct?

Odpowiedź: Yes, you can do so. The rules are always be made for the base game. We haven't given any thought to all of the (mini)-expansions and the special cases yet. (1/2021)

  Pytanie: Since a wagon can move, would it be possible to protect a wagon when placed on a feature other than a road, city or monastery?

Odpowiedź: There is no reason to do it. (1/2021)

Only the active player can protect a wagon moved after scoring when moving it after scoring. The active player will pay 4 points.

  Pytanie: When moving an unprotected wagon, can it be protected? If so, should we pay 2 (wagon was already placed) or 4 points (new placement)? Would this be applicable to all players even if it is not their turn?

Odpowiedź: You can protect only in your turn. So if you move the wagon in a turn of other players, you can not protect it. How much it costs, is written in the rules (4 points). (1/2021)

Rozszerzenie 6. - Hrabia, Król i Rzeka

Meeples in the city of Carcassonne are not affected by peasant revolts (it is a special area).

  Pytanie: Are meeples placed in the city of Carcassonne affected by peasant revolts?

Odpowiedź: As written in the rules, there are no official rules for the combination. The meeples placed in the city of Carcassonne are not affected by the peasants revolts. (1/2021)

You may protect a meeple redeployed from Carcassonne to a feature being scored although it makes no sense, since it will be scored and removed right away. So, no peasant revolt can affect it at that point. However, players may decide to spend 4 points in the process.

  Pytanie: It makes no sense to protect meeples redeployed from the city of Carcassonne, right? I would say no as they are scored immediately.

Odpowiedź: You are free to lower your score by that method. It also makes no sense. (1/2021)

Rozszerzenie 7. - Katapulta

The active player can protect a meeple swapped with the Seduction Token for 4 points.

  Pytanie: You can also protect meeples for 4 points during your turn when exchanging a meeple with a Seduction Token (the protected meeples keep their protection when swapped). Is this correct?

Odpowiedź: You can do so. There is no reason why this should not be allowed. (1/2021)

Mini #1 - Maszyny latające

Meeples placed with a flying machine can also be protected for 4 points.

Kręgi w zbożu

The active player can protect a meeple placed with a crop circle for 4 points.

  Pytanie: You can also protect meeples for 4 points each during your turn when placing a meeple with a crop circle. Is this correct?

Odpowiedź: You can do so. There is no reason why this should not be allowed. (1/2021)

Klasztory w Niemczech / Klasztory w Holandii i Belgii / Japońskie Budowle

There is no official rule about how to place a protected meeple placed as an abbot. The players will have to agree on a way to do it (placing a map chip or any unused token under the meeple is an option).

  Pytanie: If protected meeples are placed "lying down," how can you tell apart a meeple placed as a monk from a meeple placed as an abbot in a German monastery?

Odpowiedź: If you play with the combination you could figure out a way to mark them. (1/2021)

Targi w Lipsku

Meeples moved to the city of Leipzig may keep their protection status but it makes no sense. In any case, they cannot be affected by peasant revolts when placed in Leipzig (it is a special area).

  Pytanie: Moving a protected meeple to the city of Leipzig would remove its protection (if any), since it cannot be applied later? Are meeples placed in Leipzig affected by peasant revolts?

Odpowiedź: As written in the rules, there are no official rules for the combination. The meeples in the city of Leipzig are not affected by the peasants revolts. (1/2021)

Rozszerzenie Jubileuszowe

You may protect meeples placed or added with an activated arrow symbol for 4 points.

Prezenty

You may protect meeples placed with a Synod gift card for 4 points.
You may protect meeples placed on a feature with a Change Position gift card for 4 points. The protected meeple would keep its protection when moved (Note: There is no official way to indicate this if the meeple changes position to become a farmer).

Świta

You can protect your phantom as any other meeple.

  Pytanie: You can also protect your phantom during your turn. Is this correct?

Odpowiedź: You can do so. There is no reason why this should not be allowed. (1/2021)

Mosty zwodzone

A meeple protected from peasant revolts will be stay protected if moved into a city.
When moving a meeple into a city you may pay 4 points to place it protected.

Cuda ludzkości

If you place one or two wooden meeples on a wonder tile, you may protect each of them individually.
If you place a wooden meeple on a wonder tile, you may not protect a meeple previously placed on the board instead of placing a second wooden meeple.
A marker meeple cannot be protected from peasant revolts.

Wiosna / The Autumn

If you place one or two wooden meeples on a tile adjacent to a statue, you may protect each of them individually.
If you place a wooden meeple on a tile adjacent to a statue, you may not protect a meeple previously placed on the board instead of placing a second wooden meeple.

La Porxada

The active player can protect a meeple swapped with La Porxada for 4 points.

  Pytanie: You can also protect a meeple for 4 points during your turn when exchanging a meeple with La Porxada. Is this correct?
