'''The Flier''' (Mini #1) 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 {{FlyingMachinesLink|edition=C1|logo=hide|text=first edition}}, known as C1 for short, in {{Year|2012}}. 

== Contents ==

* '''8 new landscape tiles''' with flying machines (identified with [[File:Symbol_Flier_C1C2.png|x16px|sub|frameless]] to help you separate and sort your tiles)
: [[File:Flier_C2_Feature_Aircraft_Symbol.jpg|frame|none|link=#gameplay|Tile with flying machine]]
* '''1 flight die''' (sides 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, and 3)
: {{Piece|name=FlyingDie|edition=C2|variant=image}}

== Rules ==

=== Preparation ===

Shuffle the new landscape tiles with those from the basic game and stack them normally. Place the die within easy reach of all payers.

{{RulesPlacingTile|title=1. Placing a tile|rules=
When a player draws a tile with an aircraft symbol, he or she plays it according to normal rules.
}}

{{RulesPlacingMeeple|title=2. Placing a meeple|rules=
After placing a tile with a flying machine on it, you may choose to place a meeple either normally (and then follow all normal rules of placement) '''or''' on the flying machine.

When you place a meeple on the flying machine, <ref>
{{IconBook}} 
Any meeple (regular meeple, large meeple, mayor, wagon, ringmaster, guard meeple, abbot, phantom) '''can''' be a flier, as the flying machine feature is not the final resting place for the meeple. However, the final landing point must still be a valid feature for that meeple: 
* The mayor '''can only''' land on an unfinished city. If an unfinished city is not available on the tile where the mayor lands, the mayor returns to the player’s supply. (2/2013)
* The abbot '''can only''' land on a monastery '''or''' a garden. (Yes, gardens are allowed despite the wording of the primary rule.) If an unfinished monastery or garden is not available on the tile where the abbot lands, the abbot returns to the player’s supply. (3/2015)
* Only a regular meeple '''can''' land on an acrobat space or on an incomplete acrobat pyramid.

As mentioned earlier, a phantom '''can''' be a flier too. However, if you first use a normal meeple as a flier then the second figure (the phantom) '''cannot''' also use the flying machine. The flying machine is a feature, so claiming the flying machine feature with the first figure prevents the phantom from also claiming it. Thus, in this situation the phantom can only be placed on a road or on the field. (5/2013)
</ref> your meeple will move in a straight line in the direction that flying machine faces. Roll the flight die and move your meeple a number of tiles equal to the number of pips on the die (one to three tiles). Your meeple may be placed on '''any incomplete feature''' <ref>
{{IconBook}}
A player '''cannot''' place a flier on a structure that was finished by the tile that was just placed, as a feature is considered completed at the moment that a tile is placed, and the flier '''can''' only land on an unfinished feature. (2012)
</ref> on that tile, '''even if that feature is already occupied by other meeples'''. However, '''meeples placed by a flying machine can never be placed in a field''', even if that field is unoccupied. <ref>
{{IconWorld}}
This means a flier can land on any incomplete claimable feature on the destination tile but a field. It is irrelevant if the feature is occupied or not. As a consequence, a flier '''cannot''' land on another flying machine.
</ref> <ref>
{{IconBook}}
The flier '''can''' land on features outside the city of Carcassonne (but not in the city itself) ('''{{CountKingRobberLink|variant=long|logo=noborder}}''')  and outside the Wheel of Fortune (but not on the Wheel itself) ('''{{WheelFortuneLink|variant=long|logo=noborder}}'''). The flier '''can''' also be deployed to the roads on the school tiles ('''{{SchoolLink|variant=long|logo=noborder}}'''). (1/2013)<br />
{{IconWorld}}
As a consequence of this clarification, the flier '''could''' also land on features outside the city of Leipzig but not in the city itself ('''{{MarketsLeipzigLink|variant=long|logo=noborder}}''').
</ref> <ref>
{{IconBook}}
A flier '''cannot''' land on a magic portal. (2/2013)
</ref> <ref>
{{IconWorld}}
A flier cannot land on a castle ('''{{BridgesCastlesBazaarsLink|variant=long|logo=noborder}}'''), since it is not placed on a particular tile.
</ref> <ref>
{{IconWorld}}
Tower floors are not part of a feature that could be claimed and scored. As a consequence, fliers should no be allowed to land on them. 
</ref>

Meeples placed by a flying machine immediately become the appropriate type (highwayman, knight, or monk).

If you cannot place your meeple on the designated tile (either because there are only complete features and fields, or because there simply isn't a tile in the designated location), the meeple is returned to your supply. You do not get to place another meeple this turn. <ref>
{{IconWorld}}
This means that a meeple using a flying machine '''must''' be placed on the target tile, or return to its owner's supply if the placement is not possible.
</ref>

[[File:Flier_C2_Example_01.png|frame|none|<p style="margin-top: 0px;">'''Example 1:''' {{ColorRed|You}} place a tile with a flying machine, and decide to try placing a meeple on that flying machine (which is facing up and left).</p>
<p>{{ColorRed|You}} roll a '''3'''.  You cannot place a meeple this turn, because there is no eligible tile at the designated location. </p>
<p>Had {{ColorRed|you}} rolled a '''2''', you would be able to place your meeple on the monastery (even though a {{ColorBlue|blue}} meeple occupies it) or the city (even though a {{ColorYellow|yellow}} meeple occupies it). Choosing one of these two options would be mandatory. You could not have placed on the road, because it is already completed.</p>]]

[[File:Flier_C2_Example_02.png|frame|none|'''Example 2:''' {{ColorRed|You}} place a tile with a flying machine (which is facing left), this time rolling a '''2'''. {{ColorRed|You}} must place your meeple on the city (next to the {{ColorBlue|blue}} meeple), since {{ColorRed|you}} cannot place on the field or on the already-completed road.]]

===== Additional clarifications =====

The following examples provide some additional clarifications on the available options to a flier. <ref>

These clarifications are based on the examples provided by Kettlefish on Carcassonne Central:

{{RulesScoring|title=3. Scoring a feature|rules=
If the tile with the aircraft symbol completes a feature after placing the tile, the feature is scored as usual. <ref name="multiple-meeple-scoring">
{{IconWorld}}
Flying machines allow several meeples to share features normally occupied by only one meeple. If so, the players with the majority will score the feature. This may happen with:
* {{Feature|name=Monastery|edition=C3}}
* {{Feature|name=Abbey|edition=C2}}
* {{Feature|name=Shrine|edition=C2}}
* {{Feature|name=DarmstadtChurch|edition=C1}}
* {{Feature|name=GermanMonastery|edition=C2}} (meeples placed as monks and meeples placed as abbots are scored separately)
* {{Feature|name=DutchMonastery|edition=C1}} (meeples placed as monks and meeples placed as abbots are scored separately)
* {{Feature|name=JapaneseBuilding|edition=C2}} (meeples placed as monks and meeples placed as abbots are scored separately)
