<translate>The Pope of Avignon figure remains in your city and awaits its completion. He grants you a bonus for each tile in the city. Additionally, if you have a Cathedral, you receive an extra bonus for each coat of arms in the city. Be aware for the Cathars, as their presence will cause the Pope to leave your city for another.</translate>
In the history of the Roman Catholic Church, the Avignon Papacy was the period from 1309 to 1377, during which seven popes, all French, resided in Avignon, France. The city of Avignon flourished because of this, in both cultural aspects and population growth.
The people living around the city of Carcassonne have mixed opinions about this. Some are even willing to lay siege to the city to force the Pope move to another city.

Place the Pope to one side of the playing area
Gameplay
1. Placing a tile
Whenever you draw a tile, place it normally.
2. Placing a meeple
When the Avignon City tile is drawn and laid, the player who laid the tile must deploy the Pope onto the city segment of the Avignon City tile instead of ‘moving the wood’ for his turn. This player, who deploys the Pope to the Avignon city tile for the first time, receives an immediate bonus of 1 point.
3. Scoring a feature
A completed city that contains the Pope on one of its city segments scores an additional point for every tile in the completed city.
After scoring, the Pope is redeployed by the player who completed the city to any incomplete city.
Final Scoring
The Pope does not affect scoring of unfinished city.
