Rules

Preparation

The Black Fairy is a neutral figure that belongs to no player. It begins the game in the supply.

Gameplay

1. Placing a tile

Tiles with royal gates are played as usual. When two King's gates or two Queen's gates are placed in different cities, these cities are considered to be the same city. If both gates of the same type are played in the same city, there is no effect.

It is also possible to connect three cities by placing one King's gate and one Queen's gate in the same city, and the other King's gate and Queen's gate in separate cities. All three parts must be finished for the connected city to be considered complete.

2. Placing a meeple

You may place a meeple according to the usual rules.

A meeple may not be deployed to the gate itself. All meeples placed in each part of cities connected by the King’s Gate or Queen's Gate are counted together when determining which player has the majority in the city. Each part of connected cities shares meeples and other figures placed there.

Example 1: Red cannot deploy a meeple on the placed tile, because both cities are connected by King's gates and occupied by Blue.

3. Scoring a feature

The city with parts connected by any of the royal gates is finished only if it contains:

1. Two King's gates and none of the Queen's gates
2. Two Queen's gates and none of the King's gates
3. Two King's gates and two queen's gates

It is also possible to connect three cities by placing one King's gate and one Queen's gate in the same city, and the other King's gate and Queen's gate in separate cities. All three parts must be finished for the connected city to be considered complete.

For scoring purposes, each tile of the scored city is counted only once.

All meeples placed in each part of cities connected by the King’s Gate or Queen's Gate are counted together when determining which player has the majority in the city.

Final Scoring

Example 2: Blue's knight scores 5 points for unfinished cities. As these cities have the same type of royal gate, they create one connected city. Each tile is counted as usual, only once.
Blue farmer scores 0 points, because one of the connected cities is still unfinished, so both cities are considered as unfinished.

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

All tile features that affect scoring for either city affect the total score for connected cities.

Every separate parts of the city connected by gateways are considered as an unfinished city for other expansions.

Separated city parts connected by royal gateways are still counted as 1 city.

Exp. 2 - Traders & Builders

Red's builder can be placed in a city with a royal gateway if the Red has a meeple in the city part on the other side of the gateway.

Enlarging any part of connected cities with the same type of gateway with a builder grants double turn to the active player.

La Porxada

... final scoring... also for farmers an unfinished city counts only as 1 city...

Fan Expansions

Black Dragon

A completion of part of the city containing a gateway where the connected parts are not finished is not counted as a finished feature for the Black Dragon movement.
