City Bridges introduces a new type of bridge that can be used to extend a city over fields, roads, or rivers in carcassonne. The extendable version of City Bridges allows you to enlarge an existing city or even place foundations on fields or roads, thanks to the inclusion of the City Gate in the foundation of the bridge.

Gameplay

1. Placing a tile

Just like in the base game, you must place tiles so that their edges match the edges of the tiles already in play. After placing a tile, you may place one City Bridge, which counts as a city and connects cities over features or meeples on that tile.

You can place a City Bridge on the tile you just placed or on a tile touching the tile you just placed. When placing a City Bridge, you have two options for each end:

you must place the end with a city foundation in a field or in a road,
or you must place the end with the removed foundation into an unfinished city.

A City Bridge must be placed orthogonally; it cannot be placed diagonally across the tile. Once placed, a City Bridge remains on that tile until the end of the game.

Placing the City Bridge on a placed tile:

Example 1: Placing a City Bridge with foundations on both ends on a field on the tile just placed.

Example 2: Placing a City Bridge without a foundation on the left end into a city, and with a foundation on the right end on a field on the tile just placed.

Example 3: Placing a City Bridge without foundations on both ends into a city.

Example 4: Placing a City Bridge with a foundation on the left end with a City Gate on a road on the tile just placed, and with a foundation on the left end on a field. The road is connected to the city and finished on this end by a City Gate.

Placing the City Bridge on an adjacent tile to the placed tile:

Example 5: Placing a City Bridge with foundations on both ends on fields on an adjacent tile to enlarge the city.

Example 4 OLD: Placing a City Bridge with a foundation on the left end into a city and without a foundation on the right end on a field on a tile touching the tile just placed.

You can place a tile so that a city ends against a field or a road, but you must place a City Bridge that continues the city on that same turn. You can use multiple bridges in a row along the same city, but each tile can have a maximum of only one City Bridge on it. City Bridges can be placed on tiles with meeples on them.

2. Placing a meeple

You may place a meeple according to the usual rules.

If you build a City Bridge on the tile you just placed, you can place your meeple (or another figure) on the City Bridge as if it were a city.

Example 5: All options for placing a meeple on a tile just placed with a City Bridge.

Example 6: You can place a meeple only on the tile just placed, even if you place a City Bridge tile touching the tile just placed.

3. Scoring a feature

City bridges are scored like tiles with a city on them.

A City Bridge does not separate features on a tile placed below it.

General rules

The City Bridge is considered the same as a printed city segment on a tile for other expansions.

Every meeple and figure that can be placed in a city can also be placed on a City Bridge.

When scoring a city that includes a City Bridge, the City Bridge is counted as a printed city segment on the tile where the City Bridge is placed.
