Symbol The Courier.png

The Courier introduces a new neutral figure that follows diagonally or horizontally placed meeples on the board. If your meeple was placed on an unfinished feature and was not scored this turn, you may receive a thank-you message and score points for that unfinished element as a bonus.

There are many abandoned roads, towns or monasteries and gardens. The Courier brings good news to those who decide to improve these places.

Rules

Preparation

Variant.png
Tiles variant

Shuffle the new landscape tiles in with the rest of the tiles and stack them normally. Place the Courier to the side for now - it doesn't belong to any player.

Variant.png
No tiles variant

Place the Courier to starting tile.

Example 0: The Courier placed on starting tile

Gameplay

Feature Letter C2.png
1. Placing a tile
Variant.png
Tiles variant

After placing a tile with a letter symbol, immediately move the Courier figure to it, regardless of where it is currently located.

Example 1: You place tile with letter symbol and move the Courier to the placed tile.
2. Placing a meeple

You may place a meeple according to the usual rules.

3. Scoring a feature

The Currier figure and a letter symbol does not affect scoring of finished features.

4. End of turn - The Courier Move - Receiving a thank-you message
Variant.png
Both variants

If the player's meeple, placed in this turn, meets all of the following conditions:

  1. stands at the end of the turn on the board
  2. stands on a tile with the Courier OR stands horizontally or vertically to the tile on which the Courier stands,

then the Courier figure is moved to that meeple and the player receives a thank-you message from the Courier for the unfinished feature, which score you points as in the final scoring of the game all features than can be completed and scored during the game and that have at least one meeple of any player in an area of 9 tiles (9 square spaces) around the courier.

The courier can be moved to the farmer, but you can not get points for a field, because he is on a feature that cannot be completed and scored during the game.

Example 2: Red places a meeple on an unoccupied and unfinished city as a knight. The Courier is positioned on the board, standing vertically away from Red's 's knight. Red knight fulfills the condition to receive a thank-you message from the Courier. The Courier moves to the knight, and Red receives a thank-you message from the Courier.
Red scores a total of 9 points, which are calculated from the final scoring value of all unfinished features that have a meeple in any tile surrounding the Courier, regardless of the majority on the feature. This includes 4 points for a city occupied by Blue knight, 3 points for the city occupied by Red knight, and 2 points for a road occupied by Red highwayman. The Yellow farmer is not considered because fields do not score during the game.
