General info and comments
Vistas fan-expansion was released by Carcassonne Central members Michael Stacup (stalcupojoy) and Snearone which redesign tiles into C2 style as Vistas Revisited C2.
There is much hard work to be done in the land of Carcassonne. But it is also important that the people stop to rest and enjoy the beauty of the land around them. For it is written in the Book of Books that even God Himself stopped and "looked at everything He had made, and it was very good," and "on the seventh day He rested from all His work."
Contents
- 12 landscape tiles with Vista Points.
New Land tiles
The new Land tiles are played like those in the base game.
Note: If you place it next to similar tile like the ones from
Hills & Sheep ✎ as shown, all of the separate city segments are connected.Rules
Preparation
Mix the new tiles in with the rest of the tiles.
Gameplay
1. Placing a tile
Whenever you draw a tile, place it normally.
2. Placing a meeple
In addition to normal placement options, a player may deploy a meeple on the Vista Point as a Sightseer.
3. Scoring a feature
Each Vista Point faces outward toward a six-tile “Vista” area, two tiles deep and three tiles wide (see diagram) and is scored when this six-tile area is completed. This “Vista” area does not include the tile on which the Vista Point itself is located.
A Sightseer scores 1 point per type of feature in the Vista that is both “visible” and “significant.” A feature type is:
- Visible if it is intended as a visible part of the landscape, rather than functioning as an icon (e.g. city pennants, icons like dragon, princess etc.).
- Significant if it either:
- Scores (e.g. cities, roads, gardens, fields, vista points)
- Influences scoring (e.g. inns, cathedrals, tunnels, hills)
- Causes an action (e.g. volcano, magic portal, bazaars)
- Is a notable topographical feature (e.g. the river, water towers)
When not sure, check our Table of Scorable & Non scorable Features.
Final Scoring
Any incomplete Vistas score 1 point per type of visible, significant feature, just as during the game.
Other expansions
Scorable & Non scorable Features
Rule of thumb: Every feature which is scoreable or significant as described in 3. Scoring a feature
Interactions with expansions
Castle: A Vista Point is only considered to be adjacent to a Castle when the Vista Point itself lies on one of the six tiles neighboring a Castle, it is not sufficient for part of a Vista Point’s six-tile Vista area to be adjacent to the Castle.
