** {{IconWorld}} After game setup, the base game explains the turn sequence as a series of three actions repeated until the end of the game, when a final score takes place. These actions are:
*** {{ColorGreen|1. Placing a tile}}
*** {{ColorBlue|2. Placing a meeple}}
*** {{ColorRed|3. Scoring a feature}}
::However these initial simple '''actions''', should be considered as '''phases''' when playing with expansions, since they serve as containers to group additional actions during the turn sequence. Expansions may also affect game setup and the final scoring. Moreover they may add new phases with special actions or even extra turns. {{EndLinkableNote|id=WICA.0201.0001}}

=== Rules differences with Big Box 6 ===
There are some small differences in the rules of the standalone and the '''[[Variants#Big Box 6|Big Box 6]]''' version of the base game rules:
* The standalone base game introduces all the elements contained in the box, including the river tiles and the abbots, so new players may get to know all the elements from the very beginning, even if not used in the base game and put aside initially.
* The Big Box 6 base game contains a lots of elements for various expansions, so the previous approach is not followed. Instead:
** The base game avoids introducing any elements not directly used, such as, river tiles, abbot meeples, and so on.
** The base game however introduces elements from a later expansion ('''Exp. 1 - [[Inns and Cathedrals|Inns & Cathedrals]]'''): the meeples for the 6th player and the point tiles. This is done for practical reasons while not altering the essence of the game itself. 
The following table summarizes the main differences.
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Topic
! Standalone
! Big Box 6
! Comments
|- id="difference-01"
| '''Tile count'''
| 84 tiles (72 + 12 tiles)
| 72 tiles
| The standalone base game considers the 12 tiles of '''[[River|The River]]''' in the initial description. These tiles are not used in the base game.
|- id="difference-02"
| '''River tiles'''
| Introduced at the beginning of the rules
| Not introduced until '''[[River|The River]]''' mini expansion
| The standalone base game introduces the river tiles in the initial description although the rules are explained separately. All these tiles feature a river segment and have a dark back, so they can be separated easily.

|- id="difference-03"
| '''"Other graphical elements such as houses, people, or animals have no impact on the game."'''
| Sentence included in the rules
| Sentence omitted
| The base game may not use these elements but some of them are considered in later expansions
|- id="difference-04"
| '''Meeple sets'''
| 5 sets of 8 meeples, each in different colors: {{ColorYellow|yellow}}, {{ColorRed|red}}, {{ColorGreen|green}}, {{ColorBlue|blue}}, and {{ColorBlack|black}}
| 6 sets of 8 meeples, each in different colors: {{ColorYellow|yellow}}, {{ColorRed|red}}, {{ColorGreen|green}}, {{ColorBlue|blue}}, {{ColorBlack|black}}, and {{ColorPink|pink}}
| Big Box 6 includes a meeple set for a 6th player in the base game, that normally is part of '''Exp. 1 - [[Inns and Cathedrals|Inns & Cathedrals]]'''. The base game plays nice with up to 5 players; a 6th player would require to add extra tiles since the game would be too short. This approach simplifies the unfolding of the Big Box 6 rules.
|- id="difference-05"
| '''Abbot meeples'''
| Introduced at the beginning of the rules
| Not introduced until '''[[The Abbot|The Abbot]]''' mini expansion
| The standalone game considers the abbot meeples of '''[[The Abbot|The Abbot]]''' in the initial description although the rules are explained separately. These meeples are not used in the base game and will be removed from the game.

| '''Point tiles with 50 and 100 sides'''
| Not considered
| Covered in the base game rules
| The standalone base game rules instruct players to lay down their scoring meeple if their scoring goes above 50 points. However, Big Box 6 includes 8 point tiles to keep track of scorings above 50 points. Those tiles are part of '''Exp. 1 - [[Inns and Cathedrals|Inns & Cathedrals]]''', which standalone version contains 6 of them. This approach simplifies the unfolding of the Big Box 6 rules.

Here is a summary of rules regarding point tiles:
* '''During preparation:''' Set aside the point tiles with 50 and 100 sides. You will need them later for scoring.
* '''During scoring:''' Whenever your scoring meeple reaches or passes the 0 space, take a point tile, and place it in front of you with the 50 side face-up, flipping the tile to the 100 side if you reach or pass the 0 space again. Continue to take and flip point tiles as necessary if you reach or pass the 0 space additional times.
Check the usage rules '''[[Inns_and_Cathedrals#The_points_tiles|here]]'''.
|- id="difference-07"
| '''Clarification "Use a meeple, score a feature, and get the meeple back"'''
| Not included
| Added in this version
| Big Box 6 includes this clarification omitted in the base game that addresses this special case with full detail of the sequence of actions.
