Preamble

The Lords of Carcassonne reside at their Castles for as long as can be remembered. Their status does not only become apparent by the scale of their houses, but also by the length of their Castle roads. The longer a Castle road, the more status for the Lord.

General info and comments

The Castle Lords fan-expansion was released by Carcassonne Central member Trebuchet. Rules revisited by members of Carcassonne Central.

New land tiles

The new Land tiles are played like those in the base game.

Castle on road: Castle on road: The Castle is part of the road. A Follower can be placed on the Castle bridge as Lord occupied Castle and Road or on the Field as a Farmer.

Rules

Preparation

Shuffle the Castle Lords tiles together with the land tiles of the basic game.

Gameplay

1. Placing a tile

When a player draws a Castle Lord tile, that player places that tile as per normal rules.

2. Placing a follower

After placing a Castle Lord tile, you can place your follower

on the field as a Farmer
or
on the Castle bridge as a Lord.^[1].

Example 1: Red places his follower on the Castle bridge. The road leading to the castle is now a Castle Road and thus occupied by Red.

Note 1: Placement to the Castle and road separately is not allowed, because the Road and the Castle are both part of the Castle Road.

Note 2: Rules for follower placement for Castle Roads are the same as for regular roads. Don't forget that a Follower placed on a Castle bridge as Lord also occupies the Castle Road.

3. Scoring a feature

A Castle Road is completed according to the regular rules for roads.

Player with a Lord on Castle road scores 1 point for each tile of Castle Lord. Each joining tile of Castle road scores the player 1 point more than the previous tile, based on length of road. Lords and Highwaymen share majority on the Castle Road. If the Highwaymen have majority, the Castle Lord scores 0 points. If the Lord(s) and Highwaymen are tied for majority, the Castle Lord scores for the Castle Road and the Highwaymen score for the regular road.

Example 2: Over the next turns Red has managed to have the Castle Road extend over a length of 3 tiles. Red now plays the cloister tile and ends his road. Red scores 10 points - (1 + 2 + 3 + 4).

Final scoring

Uncompleted Castle roads are scored as per normal rules of Road at the end of the game by sharing majority for Lords and Highwaymen on Castle road.

Other expansions

Inns & Cathedrals

Castle road with inn scores 2 points per tile itself. Player with Lord scores 2 points more than the previous tile when inn is involved.
During final scoring, an incomplete Castle Road with an Inn is worth 0 points to both Lords and Highwaymen.

The Princess and The Dragon

Magic portals may be used for placing followers as Lords on Castle tiles, provided that the Castle Road is not occupied.

Abbey & Mayor

Placement of a Barn on the Castle Lord tile is allowed according to rules of Barn. Move of Wagon to the Castle bridge on the Castle Lord tile is allowed only by C2 rules and only if a Castle road is not occupied.

Bridges, Castles and Bazaars

When scoring a Castle (from Expansion 8), you score for the Castle Road only when the Castle is on one of the six adjacent tiles, otherwise you score only for the regular road.
