== General info and comments ==

[[File:{{CropCirclesLink|edition=C3|logo=name}}|frame|right|Expansion symbol]]

'''Crop Circles''' (Mini #7) was released by [[Hans_im_Glück|'''HiG''']] for the second edition, known as C2 for short, in {{Year|2017}}, bundled as part of {{VariantsLink|version=BigBox6|logo=noborder}}. A third edition, known as C3 for short, was released in {{Year|2021}} including more detailed graphics, [[Visual Changes in the 2nd Edition#Cities with clipped buildings|cities with clipped buildings]] and some minor wording changes. The C3 version of this expansion is only available as part of {{VariantsLink|version=BigBox7|logo=noborder}}.

This expansion was originally released for the {{CropCirclesLink|edition=C1|logo=hide|text=first edition}}, known as C1 for short, in {{Year|2012}}. 

== Contents ==

* '''6 landscape tiles''' with crop circles <ref>
{{IconBook}}
Crop fields (the yellow areas) are distinct features and thus separate road segments and field segments. (1/2013)

== Rules ==

=== Preparation ===

Shuffle the new landscape tiles with those of the basic game and stack them normally.

=== Gameplay ===
<div class="wica-banner-icon floatright" style="margin-right: 1em">{{Feature|name=CropCircles|edition=C2|size=x65px|variant=image}}</div>

When you draw a tile with a crop circle, perform a standard turn, following the normal order of {{ColorGreen|1. Place a Tile}}, {{ColorBlue|2. Place a Meeple}}, and {{ColorRed|3. Score a Feature}}. Then, perform the new action: {{ColorYellow|4. Crop Circle Action}}.

'''Note:''' The crop circles separate roads and fields. Meeples cannot occupy crop circles. 

{{RulesAction|title=4. Crop Circle Action|rules=
After you place a tile with a crop circle on it, you '''must''' choose one of the following actions:

:'''A)''' Based on the crop circle, you '''may''' <ref>
{{IconArrow}}
The [[Z-Man Games|'''ZMG''']] rules consider that placing the meeple is mandatory unless not possible for a player. This discrepancy can be the result of a mistranslation.
</ref> deploy a meeple from your supply next to one your meeples already on a tile. <ref>
{{IconArrow}}
The [[Z-Man Games|'''ZMG''']] rules indicate that you add the meeple to "a feature where you already have a meeple", that is, the meeple can be placed on any tile of a feature with another meeple belonging to the player. This discrepancy can be the result of a mistranslation.<br />
This discrepancy has clear implications, for example, in the interactions with '''{{PrincessDragonLink|variant=long|logo=noborder}}''' and '''{{TowerLink|variant=long|logo=noborder}}''', since the [[Z-Man Games|'''ZMG''']] rules allow players to place additional meeples on a different tile than the meeple previously present in a feature. This would allow players to increment their odds against the dragon or the tower.
</ref>
:{{ColorRed|OR}}
:'''B)''' Based on the crop circle, you '''must''' remove one of your meeples from a feature and return it to your supply.

Then, all players (starting with the player to your left and proceeding clockwise) '''must''' perform the action you chose, and then '''you''' perform that action.

'''Additional rules'''

* The type of meeples that are added or removed is determined by the crop circle you placed:
: {{Tile|image=Crop_Circles_C2_Feature_Crop_Rake.png|size=60px|text='''Rake Crop Circle'''<br /> This affects farmers (in a field).
}}
: {{Tile|image=Crop_Circles_C2_Feature_Crop_Club.png|size=60px|text='''Club Crop Circle'''<br />This affects highwaymen (on a road).
}}
: {{Tile|image=Crop_Circles_C2_Feature_Crop_Shield.png|size=60px|text='''Shield Crop Circle'''<br />This affects knights (in a city).
}}

* If '''A''' was chosen, you may only place the meeple in a feature where at least one of your indicated meeples is already present (farmer to farmer, highwayman to highwayman, knight to knight). <ref>
{{IconBook}} 
Any meeple that can be put on a road is considered a highwayman. Any meeple that can be put in a city is considered to be a knight.
</ref>

* If you do not have any meeples of the indicated type in play, '''but you placed the tile''', you must still choose '''A''' or '''B'''.

* If you do not have any meeples of the indicated type in play <ref>
{{IconArrow}}
The [[Z-Man Games|'''ZMG''']] rules added the condition "and '''did not place the tile'''" here, that is unnecessary and may be misleading as the sentence can be interpreted as if the active player is forced to execute the action always, even if he or she does not have any meeples of the indicated type in play. 
</ref>, you do not perform the chosen action.

* Once all players have performed the chosen action, play resumes, starting with the player on your left. <ref>
{{IconBook}}
After the crop circle action, the active player should continue with any actions pending as part of their turn, such as removing a knight from a sieged city through a monastery (see '''{{SiegeLink|logo=noborder|text={{BesiegersName|variant=short}} - {{CatharsName|variant=short}} - {{SiegeName|variant=short}}}}''') or performing the second part of a double turn (see '''{{TradersBuildersLink|variant=long|logo=noborder}}'''). After all pending actions are performed, the next player's turn can proceed.
</ref>

: [[File:Crop_Circles_C2_Example_01.png|frame|none|
'''Example for A)'''<br />
<ul>
<li>{{CircularBox|1}} {{ColorRed|You}} place a tile with the Shield crop circle and place one of your meeples on it as a knight. {{ColorRed|You}} choose action '''A'''. Each player may place a knight next to one of their knights. <ref>
{{IconArrow}}
The [[Z-Man Games|'''ZMG''']] rules omitted this last sentence.
</ref></li>
<li>{{CircularBox|2}} The {{ColorGreen|green}} player adds another knight.</li>
<li>{{CircularBox|3}} The {{ColorBlue|blue}} player has no knights in play, and does nothing.</li>
<li>{{CircularBox|4}} {{ColorRed|You}} place another knight next to the one {{ColorRed|you}} placed earlier in the turn. {{ColorRed|You}} could not have chosen the city on the upper-left side of the tile, because {{ColorRed|you}} did not already have a knight there. (You could also have deployed the knight next to your knight in the upper left corner). <ref>
{{IconArrow}}
The [[Z-Man Games|'''ZMG''']] rules omitted this clarification.
</ref></li>
</ul>
]]

: [[File:Crop_Circles_C2_Example_02.png|frame|none|
'''Example for B)'''<br />
<ul>
<li>{{CircularBox|1}} The {{ColorGreen|green}} player places a tile with the Rake crop circle, and places a meeple on it as a knight. This completes the city, awarding {{ColorGreen|green}} with 4 points. Then, the {{ColorGreen|green}} player chooses action '''B'''.</li>
<li>{{CircularBox|2}} The {{ColorBlue|blue}} player removes a farmer.</li>
<li>{{CircularBox|3}} {{ColorRed|You}} remove a farmer.</li>
<li>{{CircularBox|4}} The {{ColorGreen|green}} player has no farmers, and does nothing.</li>
