[[File:Symbol_Abbot_C2.png|80px|frame|right|The Abbot symbol]]

'''The Abbot''' was originally released by [[{{Path|Asmodee France}}|{{TranslatedPageName|Asmodee France}}]], [[{{Path|Fantasmagoria}}|{{TranslatedPageName|Fantasmagoria}}]] and [[{{Path|Lineart}}|{{TranslatedPageName|Lineart}}]] in {{Year|2022}} as part of the third Winter Edition, called WE3 for short.

It introduces the abbot meeple and garden features.

Along with {{WinterEditionRiverLink|edition=C3|logo=noborder}}, {{WinterEditionAbbotLink|edition=C3|logo=noborder}} is considered part of the basic game that can be used as desired. It implements the same mechanic which was added to the Base Game, beginning with the second edition.

== Contents ==

* '''5 abbots''', one in each player color.

== Rules ==

=== Preparation ===

Each player adds the abbot of their color to their supply. With the exception of the new rules used with this mini-expansion, all basic Carcassonne Winter Edition rules remain unchanged.

=== Gameplay ===

{{RulesPlacingTile|title=1. Placing a Tile|rules=
When placing a tile with a garden, you must place it so that its edges match the edges of tiles already in play.
}}

{{RulesPlacingMeeple|title=2. Placing a Meeple|rules=
When placing a tile with a monastery or garden, you '''may place your abbot''' onto the monastery or onto the garden. You may, of course, place a regular meeple onto the monastery, or other features, such as roads, etc. You '''may not''' place a regular meeple onto the garden.
}}

{{RulesScoring|title=3. Scoring with the Abbot|rules=
When the monastery or garden occupied by your abbot is surrounded by eight tiles, you score 9 points (just like
a regular monastery scoring).

On your turn, if you '''do not place a meeple''' during the {{ColorBlue|2. Placing a meeple}} phase, <ref>
{{IconWorld}}
You do not place a meeple because you have decided not to, or you don't have any left in your supply.
</ref> <ref>
{{IconWorld}}
The wording of the '''[[Z-Man Games|ZMG]]''' rules speak about "the player deciding to not place a meeple." This can be misleading. It may be interpreted as if the player needs at least one meeple in their supply in order to decide not to place it. This is not the intent in the original rules by '''[[Hans im Glück|HiG]]'''.
</ref> you may instead return your already-placed abbot to your supply. If you do so, you score immediately as many points as the garden or monastery your abbot occupied is worth at that time, <ref>
{{IconBook}}
You can only score the abbot placed on a monastery or a garden before the feature is completely surrounded by tiles. In this case, you always score the abbot (on the feature), never the feature itself. (11/2020)
</ref> exactly like how monasteries are scored during the final scoring.

[[File:Winter Edition Abbot Scoring Example.png|none|frame|{{ColorRed|You}} place this tile, but choose to not place a meeple. Instead, {{ColorRed|you}}</span> return your abbot to your supply, which {{ColorRed|you}} placed on a previous turn. {{ColorRed|You}} score '''6 points''' (1 for the garden, and 5 for the tiles surrounding it).]]

|finalscoring=

During final scoring, incomplete monasteries or gardens occupied by abbots are scored the same way as those occupied by monks.
