General info and comments

Expansion symbol

The Wonders of Humanity was released by Hans im Glück in 2023 (Set I) and 2024 (Set II). The expansion contains wonder tiles spanning across 5 spaces in various configurations. Each tile features a wonder built by man in different ages. The first set contains the following wonders:

• Stonehenge, a prehistoric monument located near Amesbury in southern England (UK).
• Circus Maximus, an ancient Roman chariot-racing stadium and mass entertainment venue in Rome, Italy.
• Notre-Dame, a medieval Gothic cathedral built in Paris, France.
• Alhambra, a palace and fortress complex from the 13th century located in Granada, Spain.

The second set contains the following wonders:

• Abu Simbel, a pair of rock temples built in Egypt in the 13th century BC.
• Tikal, an ancient Mayan city in northern Guatemala.
• Angkor Wat, a 10th century temple complex in Cambodia.
• Terracotta Army, more than 7000 life-size soldiers in an early Chinese burial complex.

This expansion has cities with clipped buildings.

Note: All wonders tiles count as 5 connected normal tiles.

Rules

Preparation

We recommend you to play with at least 90 tiles and one additional meeple (e.g. Base game + 1st expansion). Ignore any additional expansion rules.

Example: Setup for 4 players, where two meeples per player are placed next to the 10 space on the scoreboard.

• Each player takes all 9 meeples in one color. Place 2 meeples in each color next to the 10 space outside the scoreboard.

Note: One of these two meeples is used only to mark your wonder. You can use the large meeple of the 1st expansion or any other figure in that color.

• Place a scoring meeple as usual on the 0 space of the scoreboard. All players start the game with 6 meeples in their supply.
• Choose 1 wonder tile per player. You can also combine wonders from different sets. Place them face-up next to the scoreboard. Discard the remaining wonder tiles, you do not need them for this game.

Note: Alternatively, you can also prepare as many wonders as you like. You'll have a bigger selection of wonders and you can choose the right wonder for you, later in the game.

Placing a wonder tile

There is one wonder for each player. To receive a wonder tile, you must fulfill a condition. This falls under section 3. Scoring a feature described next:

3. Scoring a feature and getting a wonder tile

There is 1 wonder for each player. So you can get a wonder tile only once during the game. (For a variant with two wonders per player, see below.)

When your scoring meeple reaches or exceeds the space with the meeple pairs (the first time it is the 10 space), you perform the following steps in sequence:

1. Choose one of the wonder tiles available and place it in front of you. You don't place it on the game board yet (see 1. Placing a wonder tile).
2. Take your two meeples next to the scoreboard and add them to your supply.
3. Move all remaining meeples placed next to the scoreboard 5 spaces forward (i.e. the first time next to the 15 space, then next to the 20 space, and finally next to the 25 space).
   

Attention: You must never move the meeple pairs beyond the 25 space, even if there are more than 4 players. The meeples remain next to the 25 space until they are reached by all other scoring meeples.

Example: You are the first player to reach 10 points, so you first obtain a wonder tile. Then take your meeples next to the scoreboard into your supply. Finally move the meeples from the other players to the 15 space.

Special case: If several players reach the space with the meeple pairs on the same turn, the person whose turn it is chooses which of them will take a wonder tile. After that, the meeple pairs are moved 5 spaces forward as usual. If there are still scoring meeples from other players (who have not taken a wonder yet) on or past the space with the meeple pairs, the person whose turn it is decides again who will take the next wonder, and so on.

1. Placing a wonder tile

If there is a wonder tile in front of you, you do not draw a tile, but instead place your wonder tile according to the usual placement rules. Once you have placed it, you have to mark your wonder with one of the 2 meeples that you obtained along with the wonder tile. To do so, place the marker meeple in the center of the wonder (not on a city, road or field). This marker meeple remains there until the end of the game. For a better distinction from other meeples, you can put the marker meeple upside down.

Note: In the very rare case that there is no way to place the wonder tile correctly, you draw a tile that you must immediately place so that you can immediately place your wonder tile next to it afterwards. If this is also not possible, the normal tile is removed from the game (even if it would have fit) and you draw another tile, until you can place your wonder tile. You do not place a meeple on the additionally drawn tile.

2. Placing a meeple on a wonder tile

After you have placed and marked your wonder, you may immediately place up to 2 meeples on different unoccupied features (city, road, monastery or field) of this wonder tile. You may also place only one or no meeples. If you place 2 meeples, they may also be placed on the same square.

Example: You place Alhambra and you then place a meeple upside down on the wonder. Then you place a meeple in the city and another meeple on the unoccupied road on the wonder tile.

3. Scoring a wonder

Each wonder has its own function that can earn you points. Some wonders give you points during the game, while others give you points at the end of the game.

Scoring during the game

Notre-Dame

During the game (not during the turn in which you place the Notre-Dame wonder tile), if you place a meeple on one of the 8 tiles surrounding a monastery, you immediately score 3 points. It is irrelevant whether there is a monk on this monastery or not. Even if several monasteries are adjacent to the tile where the meeple is placed, you will "only" receive 3 points.

Example: You place your meeple on this tile and immediately score 3 points.

---

Stonehenge

If you complete one or more occupied roads during your turn (not when playing the Stonehenge wonder tile itself), you immediately score 3 points for each road you complete (even if you don't have a meeple on the road yourself). After that, you score the road as usual.

Example: You complete a road with a meeple on it. You immediately score 3 points. After getting these bonus points, the scoring will proceed as usual and Yellow will receive 4 points for the road (4 tiles x 1 point).

  Pytanie: Do you get the Stonehenge bonus if you complete an unoccupied road and then you add a meeple to it on the tile just placed?

Odpowiedź: Yes it is possible. You place the meeple in 2. Placing a meeple right before you perform 3. Scoring with a wonder. (3/2024)

---

Abu Simbel

When it's your turn, you can choose from 2 tiles. The first time you draw 2 tiles. You choose one and place it as usual. Place the other one face down in front of you for a later turn. When it's your turn again, you draw another tile and choose from 2 tiles again, and so on. If there are no more tiles for you to draw at the end of the game, place the one in front of you. If your unchosen tile is the last one in the game, it goes to the next player for the last turn.

Example: You draw a tile, look at it and choose one. You decide which one you want to play now. You place the other one face down in front of you.

---

Tikal

If a city is scored that is at least 3 tiles in size and in which you have at least one meeple, you receive 2 points for each of your own meeples in a city on the board. The following applies:

• You do not have to have the majority in the scored city.
• The meeple in the scored city also scores 2 points.

Example: Blue scores the city which is bigger than two tiles and in which you also have a meeple. Since blue has the majority there, he receives the points for the city, but you receive points for your Tikal wonder. You currently have a total of 4 meeples in cities on the board and therefore you receive (4x2=) 8 points.

Scoring after the game

Circus Maximus

At the end of the game, depending on the number of players, you will receive points for each meeple of another color in still uncompleted cities:

2 players:		4 points
3-4 players:		3 points
5+ players:		2 points

Example: Detailed view at the end of the game: In the game with three players you get 6 points for the yellow knights (2 meeples x 3 points) and 3 points for the blue one (1 meeple x 3 points). You do not get any points for your own meeple.

---

Alhambra

At the end of the game, you score 5 points for each of your farmers, regardless of whether they score any other points. If you play with at least 120 tiles you get 6 points. It is not relevant if it is your own farmer, the field itself scores the points.

Example: Detailed view at the end of the game: You receive 10 points for your farmers on the board (2 farmers x 5 points).

---

Angkor Wat

For each road (incomplete or complete) that is at least 5 tiles long, you receive 5 points at the end of the game.

Example: At the end of the game, you first count all roads that are at least 5 tiles long. It doesn't matter whether the roads have already been scored or are still incomplete, whether there are meeples on them or not. In this example, you count 2 relevant roads that give you (2x5=) 10 points.

---

Terracotta Army

You receive 2 points for every 7+ tiles that are in a row or column on the board at the end of the game. The following applies:

• You may score identical tiles for the column and for the row.
• Each column and row is only scored once.

Example: At the end of the game, go through column by column and row by row, counting how many of them consist of 7 or more tiles that are adjacent to each other without a gap. In this example, there is one row and one column. You get (2x2=) 4 points for this.

Important!

• Each wonder tile counts as 5 individual normal tiles. Accordingly, the roads and cities can consist of more than one tile. You must take this into account during the scoring.
  • Set I:
    • Stonehenge and Notre-Dame each have a road that spans across 2 tiles.
    • The Alhambra has a city that spans across 3 tiles, the Circus Maximus has a city that spans across 4 tiles, and Notre-Dame has a city that spans across 2 tiles.
  • Set II:
    • Abu Simbel, Angkor Wat, and Terracotta Army each have a road that extends over 2 tiles. Tikal has a road that extends over 3 tiles.
    • Tikal and Angkor Wat each have unconnected city segments.

Punktacja końcowa

At the end of the game, you first score the wonders that score at the end of the game. After that, you continue with the normal final scoring.

Variant - 2 wonders per player

If you are already familiar with this expansion, you can also try out the following variant, in which each player receives up to 2 wonders in the game. You now receive the effects of both wonders. Depending on the situation, you can also build interesting combinations.

Note: All the rules of the game remain the same. We are only listing changes here.

Setup

We recommend that you play with at least 120 or more tiles and 2 additional meeples (e.g. base game + river + 1st expansion and any other tiles from (mini) expansions). But ignore the expansion rules.

• Each player takes 10 meeples of one color. Place 2 meeples of each color next to space 10 outside the scoring board, and 1 meeple next to the 0/50 starting space.
• Choose 2 or any number of wonders per player and place them next to the scoring board.

Receive the second wonder tile

If your counting meeple reaches or exceeds the 50 space, you choose your second wonder, place it in front of you and take the meeple next to the 0/50 starting space. After that, you use it to mark your second wonder on your next turn, after you have placed it.

Additional clarifications

Roads, cities and fields on wonder tiles

General comments

Some wonder tiles include multiple cities spreading across multiple square spaces. Each space should be counted like a separate tile. The following images illustrate the number of road and city tiles to consider for each wonder tile as well as the intended field connectivity. Blue circles represent connected fields and red circles represent separated fields.

Notes:

• The dirt patches next to some wonders are part of the wonder, not part of the adjacent city.
• The die-cutting of the wonder tiles may affect field connectivity due to production variations. If playing with wonder tiles diverging from the intended field connectivity, players will have to agree on the field connectivity to apply.

Stonehenge One 2-tile road that forks into two open segments (top left and center tiles) One 1-tile city (top right tile) Two separate 1-tile roads (bottom center and right tiles) Four fields (the blue circle marks one narrow field connection)

Notre-Dame One 2-tile road with one open segment, which forks and ends at the monastery and the wonder (top and middle tiles) One 2-tile city (bottom left and center tiles) One 1-tile road (bottom right tile) Four fields, including the triangular field enclosed by the upper road (the blue circles mark two narrow field connections)

Circus Maximus One 4-tile city, the upper and lower parts are connected by a tiny city strip (left top-to-bottom and center middle-to-bottom tiles) Two separate 1-tile roads (middle and bottom right tiles) Four fields (the blue circle marks one narrow field connection)

Alhambra One 3-tile city (left top-to-bottom tiles) Two separate 1-tile roads (bottom center and right tiles) Five fields (the blue circle marks one narrow field connection, and the red circles mark field separations)

Abu Simbel Two separate 1-tile cities (leftmost and second rightmost tiles) One 1-tile road (second leftmost tile) One 2-tile road that forks into two open segments (two rightmost tiles) Three fields

Tikal Two separate 1-tile cities (center and lower right tiles) One 3-tile road (top left, top middle and center tiles) Three fields

Angkor Wat Two separate 1-tile cities (top and left center tiles) Two separate 1-tile roads (top and right center tiles) One 2-tile road (center and bottom tiles) Three fields

Terracotta Army One 1-tile city (top and right tile) One 1-tile road that forks into three open segments (bottom center tile) One 2-tile road (top center and right tiles) Four fields

  Pytanie: Does the city on the Notre-Dame wonder tile span 2 or 4 tiles? The dirt patches surrounding Notre-Dame extend to 2 adjacent square spaces (top and right). It is a bit ambiguous in visual terms, since there is no actual wall closing the city but the houseless dirt patches with Notre-Dame bordering the field.

Odpowiedź: The city only spans across 2 tiles. The dirt patches surrounding Notre-Dame are graphically necessary to close off the roads there. (3/2024)

  Pytanie: The outer stone circle limits the surrounding fields, so there are 4 fields on the Stonehenge wonder tile. Is this correct?

Odpowiedź: It is exactly right. (3/2024)

---

A farmer placed in a field only bordering a wonder but not the city adjacent to the wonder will not score points for this city. This may happen to some fields on wonder tiles:

• The field surrounding the monastery on the Notre-Dame wonder tile (top right)
• The field between the roads on the Circus Maximus wonder tile (center right)
• The field between the roads on the Alhambra wonder tile (center right)

Note that wonders (including the dirt patches next to them) are separate features from cities. Wonders limit cities but are not part of them.

  Pytanie: Some wonders such as Notre-Dame, Circus Maximus and Alhambra include a field between two roads that touches the wonder. Is this field considered to touch the city or only the wonder (and therefore no city)?

Odpowiedź: The field only touches the wonder. A wonder is always neutral and not part of a city. (3/2024)

Monasteries and wonder tiles

General comments

Each square space on a wonder tile counts as a separate tile when scoring monasteries. This applies to monasteries adjacent to wonder tiles and to monasteries on a wonder tile.

Other expansions

This section contains additional information about the interactions with other Carcassonne expansions.

General Comments:

• If you only place one wooden meeple, you cannot perform any other action instead of placing the second wooden meeple.
• 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: "Add Meeple" / "Place Meeple" ( Rozszerzenie Jubileuszowe).

The wooden meeples that can be placed on the wonder tile are the following:

• Normalny podwładny ( Gra podstawowa)

If you place a wooden meeple on the wonder tile, you may not move the fairy instead of placing a second wooden meeple.
If you add the fairy to a meeple on the wonder tile, the whole wonder tile is protected from the dragon. The dragon cannot land on any square space of the wonder tile.
The fairy cannot be added to the marker meeple on a wonder tile.
The wonder tile is one single tile but it represents 5 spaces for the movement of the dragon. The dragon affects the whole tile when it lands on it (except for the marker meeple on the wonder itself), but it may represent 5 steps in its movement. The wonder is a special area not affected by the dragon.
If you extend the city on a wonder tile with a princess tile, you may remove any meeple on the city. However, you cannot remove the marker meeple.
You may use a magic portal to place a meeple on any uncompleted, unoccupied feature on a wonder tile. You may not use the magic portal to place a meeple on the wonder itself, since it is a special area with special placement rules.

Rozszerzenie 4. - Wieża

Wonder tiles count as one tile for the tower, but they represent 5 spaces for the tower range. If at least one of the spaces occupied by a wonder tile is in range from the tower, any meeple placed on the tile can be captured, except the marker meeple.
A tower cannot capture a marker meeple. The wonder is a special area which cannot be affected by a tower.

Rozszerzenie 5. - Opactwo i burmistrz

If you place a wooden meeple on a wonder tile, you cannot place your barn instead of a second wooden meeple.
The general rule states that the base for the barn has to be stable - that means that the corner of all four tiles have to touch each other and all tiles must have field in the corner for the placement of the barn.
A wonder tile can therefore occupy one, two or three of the corners under the barn.

When moving the wagon after scoring, consider the unoccupied, uncompleted features on its current tile and any other tile (square or not) overlapping its adjacent square spaces.

• If the wagon is on a wonder tile, any of its features is considered adjacent.
• If the wagon is on a square tile adjacent to a wonder tile, any of the features on the wonder tile is considered adjacent.
• If the wagon is on a wonder tile, any feature on a square or wonder tile on and adjacent square space is considered adjacent.

Mini #1 - Maszyny latające

The wonder tile counts as 1 tile occupying 5 spaces. The flier considers spaces for its movement. If the flier lands on a space occupied by a wonder tile, it can choose any feature on the whole tile, that is, the flier has the choice of various roads, a city or a monastery, if available. The flier can only land on one of these features if it is not yet finished.
If the flight of the flier is diagonal, all steps must be in a straight line in the direction the arrow shows from the flying machine tile. The angle cannot change.

The wonders in detail

		Notre-Dame The Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris is a Roman Catholic church. It was built between 1163 and 1345 and is one of the earliest Gothic church buildings in France. It stands in the historic center of Paris on the Seine island of Île de la Cité. On April 15, 2019, it suffered severe damage from a major fire. Shortly after, the French Parliament decided to reconstruct it true to the original.
		Stonehenge The monument is a megalithic structure of the Neolithic period. It is located near the river Avon near Amesbury in southern England, and was erected in several sections (over several hundred years) starting at least in 3000 BC. Various hypotheses exist about the occasion and purpose of this highly elaborate monument. Stonehenge has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986.
		Circus Maximus First built in stone as a permanent installation, construction began around 31 BC. With a total length of about 600 meters and a width of 140 meters, the Circus Maximus was the largest circus in ancient Rome. So it was even larger than the Colosseum and until modern times the largest stadium in the world. Chariot races were held in it until the 6th century. Its capacity is said to have been up to 250,000 seats in the meantime, although this is only based on a story. More likely are - still very impressive - 150,000 seats.
		Alhambra On the Sabikah Hill in Granada, Andalusia, Spain, stands the Alhambra City Castle. The castle complex in the Moorish style of Islamic art is about 740 meters long and 220 meters wide. Especially the Nasrid palaces with their gardens, the medina and the Renaissance palace of Charles the Fifth are significant for the Alhambra today. It is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Europe and was declared a World Heritage Site in 1984.
		Abu Simbel The rock temples in the village of Abu Simbel were built in the 13th century BC. The two temples - the large one for the glory of King (Pharaoh) Ramses II, and the small Hathor-Temple in memory of his wife Nefertari - have been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1979. To safe them from the rising waters of Lake Nasser, they were demolished between 1963 and 1968 and rebuilt 64 meters higher on an island in Lake Nasser.
		Tikal The ancient Mayan city is best known for its stepped temples. It is located in northern Guatemala, in the rainforests of the Petén and was one of the most important cities in the Classic Mayan period in the 3rd-9th century. Tikal experienced its highlights in the 5th and 8th centuries. Since 2018, researchers have assumed that the area around Tikal was home to at least one million people. The city was completely abandoned by the 10th century at the latest.
		Angkor Wat The most famous temple complex in the Angkor region of Cambodia is located around 240 km northwest of the capital Phnom Penh. When the country south of China developed into a regional center of power in Southeast Asia in the 10th century, the Khmer built large cities and enormous temples. Angkor Wat was built under King Suryavarman II. The complex was built as the king's state temple and was used to worship Vishnu. There is also evidence that it was the mortuary temple of Suryavarman II.
		Terracotta Army The so-called Terracotta Army comprises more than 7,000 life-size soldiers. It is part of an early Chinese burial complex, the Qín Shihuángìs Mausoleum. Construction began in 246 BC and Emperor Qín Shihuángìs was buried in it in 210 BC. It is one of the world's largest tombs, one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century and has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1987.
