[[The Fruit-Bearing Trees]] was released in March {{Year|2018}} by [[Hans_im_Glück|'''HiG''']] through '''[[CundCo]]'''.

With this expansion, Carcassonne will be surrounded by various fruit-bearing trees. The larger the variety of fruits you offer is, the higher your income will be.

This expansion has been developed for the Carcassonne basic game. All the basic game rules still apply in addition to the expansion rules below. You can combine it with other expansions - but at your own risk – that is, there will be no official rules for these combinations.

== Contents ==

* '''6 new land tiles''' with 6 types of fruit-bearing trees (quince, apple, apricot, cherry, plum and elder)
: [[File:Fruit-Bearing_Trees_C2_Feature.jpg|frame|none|Tile with fruit-bearing tree]]

* '''24 fruit tokens''' (4 per fruit with the values 5, 4, 3, and 2 on the back)

== Rules ==

=== Preparation ===

Shuffle the 6 Land tiles with fruit-bearing trees together with the Land tiles of the basic game. Arrange the '''24 fruit tokens''' according to their colour/type. Then, shuffle each colour/type stack separately (the values face down). Place the 6 stacks next to the scoring track.

{{RulesPlacingTile|1====|2=1. Placing a tile|
3= <div style="min-height: 110px; margin-top: 5px;">[[File:Fruit-Bearing_Trees_C2_Example_01.png|right]] When you draw a Land tile with a fruit-bearing tree (Tree tile), you place it according to the normal rules. Then, you place a stack with 4 fruit tokens (of the same fruit type) on top of the Tree tile with the values still face down. You can choose the related type of fruit, however, it does not matter which type of fruit you put there, in terms of the game. Thus, any tree and any type of fruit may be combined!</div>
}}

{{RulesPlacingMeeple|1====|2=2. Placing a meeple|
3=You may place one of your meeples on the Tree tile according to the normal rules. '''Note''' that you are not allowed to place a meeple on the tree itself. 

==== Carrying out a "fruit action" ====

If you have '''deployed a meeple''', you may now perform either one of the following two actions. If a player '''in a later turn''' places a tile adjacent (vertically, horizontally or diagonally) to a tree tile and places a meeple on the tile, he may likewise perform '''one''' of the following two actions. <ref>
{{IconWorld}}
A fruit action may happen when:
* A tree tile is placed with a meeple (in the same turn); or 
* A new tile with a meeple is placed adjacent to a tree tile (in a later turn.) It does not matter who placed the tree tile.
</ref> <ref>
{{IconPadlock}}
The interpretation of the original [[Hans_im_Glück|'''HiG''']] rules suggests that a player may execute one fruit action per tree present on the newly placed tile or any adjacent ones and each meeple placed on this turn part (up to two if placing a any meeple plus a phantom.) An official clarification would be necessary.

[[File:Fruit-Bearing_Trees_C2_Clarification_Example_01.png|frame|none|'''Example 1''': {{ColorRed|Red}} places a tree tile with a normal meeple and a phantom. Both meeples have access to 3 trees so {{ColorRed|Red}} can perform 2 fruit actions per tree, that is, 6 actions in total.]]
</ref> <ref>
{{IconWorld}}
The rules to trigger a fruit action require the direct placement of a meeple during phase {{ColorBlue|2. Placing a meeple}} on the tile just placed. This will rule out other meeple placement mechanics:
* Placements to other tiles but the one just placed during the right phase: 
** Magic portals ('''Exp. 3 - [[The Princess and The Dragon|The Princess and the Dragon]]''')
** Acrobat placement on an adjacent tile ('''Exp. 10 - [[Under the Big Top|Under the Big Top]]''')
** Flying machines ('''Mini #1 - [[The Flier|The Flier (Flying Machines)]]''')
* Placements to the tile just placed during other phases: 
** Wagon movement ('''Exp. 5 - [[Abbey and the Mayor|Abbey and Mayor]]''')
** Deployment from the City of Carcassonne ('''Exp. 6 - [[Count, King and Robber|Count, King and Robber]]''')
** Crop circles ('''Mini #7 - [[Crop Circles|Crop Circles]]''')
** Deployment to a bathhouse ('''[[The Barber-Surgeons|The Barber-Surgeons]]''')
However, the placement on tower tile (adjacent to a tree tile) with a tower floor and a phantom as second figure on top would comply with the requirements to trigger a fruit action. See '''Exp. 4 - [[The Tower|The Tower]]''' and '''[[The Phantom (1st edition)|The Phantom]]'''.
</ref> <ref>
{{IconWorld}}
Note that fruit actions take place during phase {{ColorBlue|2. Placing a meeple}}. Therefore, these actions will happen as usual even if later actions in the turn sequence may remove the meeple from the tile, for example, being eaten by the dragon ('''Exp. 3 - [[The Princess and The Dragon|The Princess and the Dragon]]''').

* Harvesting
* Selling

===== Harvesting =====

Take the top-most fruit token from the tree tile (if available). Then, '''immediately''' score points according to the fruit token's value. The fruit token is then placed in front of you.

===== Selling =====

Instead of taking a new fruit token, you can choose to sell fruit tokens you have previously harvested. You may sell 1 to 4 tokens, but the more you sell, the more points you score. If you want to sell more than one token, they must (all) be of different types of fruit. You may only sell one set at a time. The value on the back does not matter when selling fruits. Sold fruit tokens are set aside and removed from the game.

The following examples show '''harvesting and selling actions''':

[[File:Fruit-Bearing_Trees_C2_Example_02.png|none|frame|'''Example: Harvesting''' <br/ >{{ColorRed|You}} place a tile next to the apple tree and {{ColorRed|you}} place a meeple. {{ColorRed|You}} decide to harvest. Therefore, you take the top-most apple token and look for its value. {{ColorRed|You}} get 3 points and place the token in front of you, next to the other tokens.]]

[[File:Fruit-Bearing_Trees_C2_Example_03.png|none|frame|'''Example: Selling'''<br/ > Later {{ColorRed|you}} place a tile next to the apple tree again and {{ColorRed|you}} place a meeple. Now, you want to sell. Up to now, {{ColorRed|you}} have harvested 2 apple tokens, 1 apricot and one cherry token. {{ColorRed|You}} sell three different tokens for 10 points. As you are only allowed to sell one set at a time you keep one apple token.]]
}}

{{RulesScoring|1====|2=3. Scoring a feature|
3=When you complete one or more areas (e.g. a monastery, a road etc.) by placing a Tree tile, you score them according to the normal rules. 

==== Final scoring ====

At the end of the game, each fruit token is worth '''1 point'''.
