The Hans Statue (Fan Expansion)
This expansion is independent of tile design and can be played with any edition of Carcassonne or any spin-off (with small adaptations to the rules). |
If your tiles have a different design, then choose a game from Spin-offs. |
The Hans Statue is a new game piece to place on tiles, which grants the features on them a rich scoring bonus.

Contents

Required expansions
The Hans Statue requires a set of tiles from any expansion(s), as long they have an easily recognizable logo or watermark on them.
The players choose and agree on what set and how many tiles of that set to use. The Spiel Promo tiles are the ideal choice since they don't come with rules. The number of tiles needed is at least 1.
This expansion may also be played with only the Base Game. In that case, it will be required to choose tiles with features like Villages, Water Towers, Garden etc. as tiles for this expansion.
Rules
Preparation
- Choose a set of tiles, ideally from a mini-expansion ( The Festival, Spiel Promos, etc. or tiles with some other features like Village, Water Tower, etc.) and how many of those tiles to use.
- Shuffle the chosen landscape tiles in with those from the base game and stack them normally.
- The Hans Statue should be placed at the side of the table, and will be brought into play once the game is underway.
Gameplay
1. Placing a tile
When any tiles of the chosen set get drawn, they are placed exactly like those in the base game, and/or following the rules of the chosen set.
Put the Hans Statue from outside the game or from a previously-placed tile on the just-placed tile in such a way that no information is covered, if possible.
The Hans Statue is not associated with either a structure or a field on the tile, instead it affects the entire landscape tile.
3. Scoring a feature
Other Expansions
Scoring of The Hans Statue is in the form of a player bonus.
The player can get a bonus for scoring a feature which can be completed and scored during the game (like a Shrine), a figure (like an Abbot scored on an unfinished feature during a game) or a token (like an Animal token when scoring Big Top).
When a player scores negative points for a feature, a figure, or a token on a tile with the Hans Statue, the penalty is halved and rounded down (e.g. -3 points becomes -1).
The Hans Statue is placed on the tile immediately after tile placement, before any subsequent action or scoring triggered by placement.
