C2 / C1 Tiles and tokens including tokens for Family Feud

Contents

• 8 new land tiles featuring a question-marked coat of arms
• 20 double-sided or 40 single-sided tokens
• 12 double-sided or 24 single-sided extra tokens for  Family Feud
• D6 Dice

Rules

Preparation

Shuffle the new tiles with those from the base game (and any other expansions you wish to use). Place the tokens aside.

Gameplay

1. Placing a tile

Tiles with question-marked coat of arms are placed exactly like those in the base game.

2. Placing a meeple

You may place a meeple according to the usual rules.

Example 1: You place meeple to tile with question marked coat of arms.

2b. Checking your luck

When a tile with question-marked coat of arms is placed this turn, roll a die to determine outcome:

• 1/2/3 - the number of additional coat of arms for the city with question-marked coat of arms.
• 4 – red “X”, loss of all coats of arms throughout the city.
• 5/6 – nothing.

Pick up the correct token and cover the question-marked coat of arms with it.

3. Scoring a feature

The scoring of the new tiles follows the usual rules considering the token placed on a tile as part of it. Remember that just one causes a loss of all coats of arms throughout the city.

Example 2: You score 12 points (three city tiles and three coats of arms).

1. Introduction

This Expansion Selector allows you to pick what expansions (or parts of them) to use in the reference pages of WICA. According to your selection, the Order of Play and Scoring sections will be adapted. This way, you can customize WICA to suit your game without any hinderance from the expansions left out.

As hinted above, the expansions combining multiple elements permit a fine-grain selection of its elements. For example, you can choose the abbey tiles and the wagon from "Abbey & Mayor" and to leave out the barn and the mayor.

2. Use Guide

The selector has several tabs and below there is an area that lists the current selection at all times, no matter the tab displayed.

You can click on any tab label to go to the desired tab. Additional clicks on a selected tab will collapse it and expand it back in order to access the selector when needed. Switching to another tab will expand the selector automatically.

The following sections describe the tabs and their functionality.

2.1. "Expansions" tabs

The first three (or four) tabs from the left allow you to pick expansions in full or partially when possible.

• Major expansions: lists all official major expansions by HiG.
• Minor expansions: lists all official minor expansions by HiG and some of their licensed equivalents.
• Other expansions: lists the rest of licensed and unofficial expansions as well as those Print & Play and Cut & Play expansions released by HiG.
• Fan expansions: lists some fan-made expansions. This tab may not be available in some cases.

These tabs show a listing of expansions where each label is preceded by a checkbox to allow its selection and deselection if full.

Those expansions with various components show a clickable "[+]" symbol after them when closed or "[–]" when open. In the latter case, all the components are displayed and can be selected and deselected individually.

Each tab has a text label in accordance with the format "Group (X/Y)" in order to identify the set of expansions listed (indicated by Group), the number of expansions selected (represented by X) and the total number available (represented by Y).

2.2. "Quick Selectors" tab

This is the fourth tab from the left. It allows you to choose from a predefined list of available expansions sets. This tab contains the following elements:

• A dropdown list and a "Select Expansions" button: They allow you select and load a predefined expansion bundle, such as a Big Box or all the expansions for the New Edition.
• The "Clear All" button empties your current with one click.
• The "Select All" button selects all the expansions available with one click.

2.3. "Filters" tab

This is the fifth tab from the left. It allows you to choose what Carcassonne editions are displayed and your preferred edition. The editions considered are the 1st Edition (C1), the New Edition (C2+C3), and the Winter Edition (WE), which is included in a creative way if some of its expansions are of interest.

The tab displays two panels:

• "Show Editions" panel: it contains a checkbox for each edition available (C1, C2+C3 and WE.) The selector will show the expansions belonging to the checked editions only. For example, if the 1st edition (C1) checkbox is selected, expansions such as "The Wheel Of Fortune" or "Halflings" will be eligible in the Expansion Selector, otherwise they will not be available for selection. At least one edition has to be selected, thus they cannot be deselected at the same time.
• "Preferred Edition" panel: it contains a set of radio buttons for the 1st Edition (C1), the New Edition (C2+C3) and the Winter Edition. The radio button selected will indicate the Expansion Selector which edition has precedence over the other when:
  • Describing the Game Reference, the Order of Play, the Scoring rules and Game Figures: If there are differences between editions, the preferred edition rules and wording will be displayed. For example, the movement of the dragon will be displayed in different steps in the Order of Play depending on whether C1 or C2+C3 is selected.
  • Displaying graphics in the Scoring sections: For expansions available in both editions, the images shown will correspond to the selected edition. Images from an expansion only existing in one edition will not change.

  The radio button for an edition will be enabled only if such an edition is available, that is, it is selected in the "Show Editions" panel.
  It also includes a checkbox with the label "Mark rules adaptations": If checked, all the rules displayed in the Game Reference, the Order of Play, and the Game Figures not corresponding to the preferred edition will be highlighted.

This tab shows a label similar to "Filters (C1/C2+C3/WE) #" that lists all the editions selected in parentheses and one of them is underlined, indicating that it is the preferred one. The hash sign "#" is present if rules adaptations are highlighted.

2.4. Help

General rules

Each coat of arms on the token is considered as printed on a tile.

Pay attention to tokens as they cause the loss of all coats of arms throughout the city. As a result, certain rules are not applied anymore, even if they look like they should.

Exp. 5 - Abbey & Mayor

Mayor: When using Mayor it is suggested to discard all tokens and increase chance to lose all:

• 1/2 - the number of additional coats of arms / for the city with question-marked coat of arms
• 3/4 – , loss of all coats of arms throughout the city
• 5/6 – no additional coat of arms

Remember, that city containing causes loss of all coats of arms throughout the city, reducing the strength of the mayor to zero.

Example Mayor: Blue has strength 1 and red has no strength.

The Wheel of Fortune

When scoring Taxes event, coats of arms in cities with token are not counted.

Mini #2 - The Messengers

When scoring a message Points per Coat of Arms all coats of arms from cities with token are not counted.

The Markets of Leipzig

The Coiners quarter bonus for coat of arms is not applied for a city with token.

The Watchtowers

The Watchtower bonus for coats of arms is not applied for coats of arms in cities which contain tokens.

Fan Expansions

The Great Fairs

Placing a second special figure in the same turn when placing tile with a Great Fair Symbol is not allowed when city segments with that symbol enlarge a city with a token.

Family Feud

Extra set of grey-and-white coats of arms tokens are needed which replace original blue-and-white coat of arms tokens.

Grey-and-white coat of arms tokens act as blue-and-white or as red-and-white coat of arms, depends which color of permanent coat of arms is in the city.

City can be enlarged by tile with any color coat of arms when the city doesn't have any permanent coat of arms yet.

Any city with a token can be enlarged by or joined with another city with any colored coat of arms because coat of arms are nullified in this city and the city does not belong to any family.

The Wetlands

Bonus for placement of a tile with coat of arms in vicinity of the Wetland tile is not rewarded for coat of arms in city segments with token.
