The Signposts was released for the 3rd edition (C3 for short) by Hans im Glück in 2021. It doesn't exist for the 1st edition (C1 for short) or the 2nd edition (C2 for short).
This expansion has cities with clipped buildings.
Contents
- 12 new land tiles, each depicting 2 of 3 different types of signposts:
Rules
Preparation
Shuffle the 12 tiles of this mini expansion together with the other land tiles.
Gameplay
1. Placing a tile
Draw a land tile and place it according to the rules of the base game.
2. Placing a meeple
You may place a meeple on the tile just placed. [1]
3. Scoring a feature
When completing a road, check if there are signposts next to it. If that is the case, in addition to the points of the road you also score points for each signpost pointing in the right direction. [2]
For a signpost to be pointing in the right direction, the following requirements have to be fulfilled:
- The course of the road on the next tile has to follow the direction indicated by the signpost (left turn, right turn or straight ahead).
- The road must not end on the first tile after the signpost.
How to count the signposts:
- Count the signposts showing the correct course of the road on the road you want to score.
- From these, count the number of different types of signposts.
You may score:
- Only one 1 type of signpost: 1 point for each correct signpost.
- 2 different types of signposts: 2 points for each correct signpost.
- All 3 different types of signposts: 3 points for each correct signpost.
You do not receive points for signposts that do not show the correct course of the road.
. The rules for the roundabout are as follows: If a signpost points in one of the two directions of the roundabout, it is showing the correct course of the road (here: the blue 1 and the red 2 arrow). Three arrows are not correct
. Three are pointing in the wrong direction 3, 4 and/or the road already ends on the next tile 4, 5.You complete your road by placing the tile and score 9 points.
For the 5 correct signposts
, which include all 3 different types, you score (5×3) 15 additional points.Punktacja końcowa
At the end of the game you receive 1 point for each signpost on your roads, pointing in the right direction. The different types of signposts do not matter at this point.
Other expansions
This section contains additional information about the interactions with other Carcassonne expansions.
The rules assume the signpost condition is met if a road segment connects the edge of the signpost to the required edge on the adjacent tile. If the road segment ends on the tile before touching the required edge or does not touch it at all, the signpost condition is not met.
Example 3: This image shows examples meeting the signpost condition (case A) and not meeting it (case B). Case B shows a straight road (dotted in white) that ends at a feature on the tile (yellow circle) so it does not continue to the opposite edge (section dotted in black), and a curved road (dotted in white) that doesn't meet the signpost requirement (dotted in black).
In general terms, the road segment must connect the required edges to meet the conditions, but this connection may happen to include other features that provide this connection on the tile beyond a simple printed road on the tile.
Example 4: Roads may include a number of features affecting them and even modify their layout at times. The rules cover roundabouts (case A). For other features, the same logic should apply also covered in the image:- Tunnels without tunnel tokens (case B) and with them (case C)
- Ferries (case D)
- Bridges (case E)
Case C-right may present many variations when not meeting the signpost condition:- The signpost road enters a tunnel and exits on the same tile but not reaching the required edge (the case presented in the example)
- The signpost road enters a tunnel and exits on another tile (the second tunnel token is placed on another tile) including those where the tunnel entrance connected to the signpost has no tunnel token or the exit tunnel token may be placed on another tile, if any
- The signpost road enters the tunnel but it may not exit (no tunnel token on the entrance or no second tunnel token to match it)
The labyrinth (case F-left) would always meet the signpost condition, the same as the 4-legged roundabouts featured on the Spiel '18 tile (Spiel Promo 2018) or in Rozszerzenie 7. - Katapulta. The abbey tile (Rozszerzenie 5. - Opactwo i burmistrz) would never meet the condition (case F-right), the same as any edge with a city gate.
The signpost requirements will apply to roads on Halfling tiles (
Połówki), double-sized tiles (the river source in the 
Rzeka - Edycja Jubileuszowa, the German castles in 
Zamki w Niemczech or the tiles in 
Targi w Lipsku) and tiles in other shapes (the 2x2 starting tile in 
Rozszerzenie 11. - Duchy, pałace i cmentarze and the wonder tiles in 
Cuda ludzkości).
The signposts requirements applied to a road segment on square tiles should also apply to a road on Halflings, following a few considerations:
- A road connecting two edges on one Hafling tile should meet the same conditions as if it was a square tile.
- A road spanning across two triangular tiles should be considered as a road segment on a square tile to meet the signpost condition.
- A road ending at a feature or at a triangular gap will not meet the conditions for any signpost.
Example 5: Roads spanning across two Halfling tiles should be considered as one square tile to decide if they meet the signpost requirement. Case A-left, case A-right and case B-left show examples where the road spans across two Halfling tiles.
Case B-right shows a road on a triangular tile that will not meet the signpost requirement.
Case C-left shows a road on just one triangular tile that meets the condition of the signpost. However, case C-right shows a road not meeting the signpost condition, since it is interrupted at the long edge of the tile, that is, it meets a triangular gap.
The signposts requirements applied to a road segment on a square tile should also apply to a road on a double-sized tile, with the following considerations:
- A road ending on one half of a double-sized tile will not meet the conditions for any signpost.
- A long road on a Leipzig tile ends on the tile, but each half of the double-sized tile is considered as a separate square tile when evaluating signposts. The road segment will then meet the condition for a straight signpost.
Example 6: Roads on double-sized tiles should be considered by treating each half of the tile as a separate square tile in order to decide if they meet the signpost requirement. A shows a correct signpost for a Leipzig tile. Case B shows an incorrect signpost involving a double-sized tile.
The signposts requirements applied to a road segment on a square tile should also apply to a road on a wonder tile or on a 2x2 tile, with the following considerations:
- A long road on a wonder tile may end or not on the tile. It may even fork on the tile. Each square space in a wonder tile should be considered as a separate tile when evaluating signposts involving them.
- A road segment ending at a dirt patch before reaching the edge of its square space will not meet the requirement for any signpost type.
- A road segment reaching the opposite or adjacent edge of its square space will meet the requirement for the corresponding signpost type.
- A road segment on a 2x2 tile ends at a feature on the tile, so it will not meet the condition for any signpost.
Example 7: Roads on wonder tiles are evaluated by considering each square space as a separate tile. Case A shows a correct signpost for a forking road segment. Case B shows an incorrect signpost for a forking road segment ending at a dirt patch before reaching the edge of the square space.
Example 8: Roads on wonder tiles are evaluated by considering each square space as a separate tile. Case A shows a correct signpost for a straight road segment reaching the opposite edge of the square space. Case B shows an incorrect signpost for a straight road segment ending at a dirt patch before reaching the opposite edge of the square space.
The extra points scored for the correct signposts is a feature-level scoring modifier the same as the points scored for:
- Łaźnia (
Felczerzy) - Niemiecki zamek ( Zamki w Niemczech)
- Labirynt with advanced rules (
Labirynt) - Little Buildings (
Małe budynki)
These points will be added to the feature after applying other scoring modifiers such as:
- Karczma (
Rozszerzenie 1. - Karczmy i katedry) - Niemiecka katedra (
Niemieckie katedry) - Mag and Wiedźma (
Mini #5 - Mag i Wiedźma).
The points for the correct signposts are part of the total scoring for the feature, the same as the other feature-level scoring modifiers. These points are not a separate scoring event when considering the following cases:
- A castle scoring (
Rozszerzenie 8. - Mosty, zamki i bazary) - Messages #1 and #8 scoring points for a road (
Mini #2 - Kurierzy) - A Robber stealing points from a road scoring (
Mini #6 - Bandyci)
Rozszerzenie 5. - Opactwo i burmistrz
Any signpost on an road edge connected to an abbey tile will be considered in an incorrect position.
Rozszerzenie 8. - Mosty, zamki i bazary
Signposts consider a bridge as a straight road segment.
Messages #1 and #8 will take the signposts into consideration when scoring a road (1 point per correct signpost, as if scoring after the game).
The Wainwrights quarter bonus is not affected by signposts.
The long road on a Leipzig tile ends on the tile, but each half of the double-sized tile is considered as a separate square tile when evaluating signposts. The road segment will then meet the condition for a straight signpost.
The road segments on the German castle tiles end on the double-sized tile, so they will not meet the requirements for any signpost.
Roads ending at a German cathedral will receive extra points for the correct signpost on the road.
An archbishop will not score extra points for the correct signpost on the road ending at the German cathedral.
Two triangular tiles sharing the same square space will be considered as one regular tile regarding signposts, so those roads running across both tiles will be considered as a road on a square tile.
A road interrupted at a triangular gap or ending at a triangular tile will not meet the requirements for a correct signpost.
The road segment on the double-sized river source tile ends on tile, so it will not meet the requirements for any signpost.
The Road Sweeper gift card will take the signposts into consideration when scoring a road (1 point per correct signpost, as if scoring after the game).
