The Black Fairy is a dark-side version of the Fairy. Be careful, because the Black Fairy associated with your meeple will cost you negative points at the beginning of your turn or when scoring a feature. This fan expansion can be played with Base Game or with any combination of expansions for Carcassonne; The Princess & the Dragon is not required for play.

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

If the Black Fairy is still assigned to your meeple at the start of your turn, you immediately score -1 point.

Example 1: Red has assigned the Black Fairy to his meeple on beginning of his turn. Red received immediately -1 point penalty.

2. Placing a meeple

Instead of placing a meeple, you may assign the Black Fairy to one of any meeples on the board by placing the Black Fairy directly next to it.

3. Scoring a feature

When scoring a feature where the Black Fairy is assigned to one of your meeples, you score -3 points, even if you do not score points for the feature. You may earn negative points. Your meeple returns to your supply, as normal, but the Black Fairy remains on its tile.

Example 2: Blue places a tile and completes the city. Red scores total 3 points ( 6 points for the city and -3 points penalty for the Black Fairy).

Final Scoring

The player whose meeple is associated with the Black Fairy at the end of the game scores -3 points during final scoring.

General rules

The Black Fairy is dark. She does not protect and she is gaining points. All other rules for the Fairy apply also to the Black Fairy.

The -3 points penalty is applied separately from the feature scoring, but during feature scoring.

The -3 point penalty during the final scoring is not applied if the Black Fairy is placed on features that are not scored during the final scoring.

Exp. 3 - The Princess & the Dragon

Dragon - The Black Fairy can not be placed on a tile with the Dragon.

Dragon - The Black Fairy does not protect a tile against the Dragon's movement. The dragon may move to a tile occupied by the Black Fairy and all figures on that tile are eaten by the dragon, including the Black Fairy.

Fairy - The Black Fairy and the Fairy can be associated with the same meeple. In this case, their scoring effect is nullified.

Example Fairy and Black Fairy during scoring: Blue places a tile and completes the city. Red scores total 6 points ( 6 points for the city, 3 points bonus for the Fairy and -3 points penalty for the Black Fairy).
