Revision as of 20:58, 10 April 2024
You are reading the rules for this tile design. |
If your tiles have a different design, then choose a game from Spin-offs. |
This is a celebratory expansion that serves as a homage to the first 3 major expansions. It does not matter if you don't know them, the gameplay with this mini-expansion is not affected.
General info and comments
The 20th Anniversary was released for the New Edition by Hans im Glück in 2021 as part of the 20th Anniversary Edition.
This expansion has cities cluttered with buildings.
This expansion has been developed for the Carcassonne basic game. All the basic game rules still apply in addition to the expansion rules below. You can combine it with other expansions - but at your own risk – that is, there will be no official rules for these combinations.
Changes to the 20th Anniversary Edition
The rules for the 20th Anniversary Edition stay the same but the roles of some meeples have been updated:
Publishers have followed the new roles provided in the rules by HiG, although some of these changes are not noticeable in other languages. Note: We stick to the classic role convension for the sake of consistency with all the exisiting rules for the time being. HiG may decide to update the rules in the future to follow this new naming convention for new releases and reprints. |
Contents
- 15 new land tiles marked with a "20" symbol. These new tiles are divided into 3 groups of 5. Each group has one of the following symbols.
Rules
Preparation
Shuffle the 15 new tiles with the rest of the land tiles.
Gameplay
1. Placing a tile
When you draw a 20th Anniversary Expansion land tile, you place it according to the normal rules. Depending on the direction the arrow symbol arrow is pointing, the following situations may occur:
- If you place a tile with an arrow symbol so that the arrow doesn't point to an adjacent tile, you receive 2 points and your turn continues as usual.
- If you place a tile with an arrow symbol so that the arrow points to an adjacent tile, you activate the arrow symbol and the appropriate action can be performed according to its type (see 2. Placing a meeple and 4. Extra turn action).
- If you place any tile (no arrow symbol required) adjacent to a tile with an arrow symbol so that the arrow points to the tile just placed, you activate the arrow symbol and the appropriate action can be performed according to its type (see 2. Placing a meeple and 4. Extra turn action).
2. Placing a meeple
You may place a meeple on the tile just placed according to the normal rules. However, if you activated an arrow symbol, you may have an additional option depending on the symbol type:
Note: You may not use this action to add a third meeple to the two already placed side by side.
3. Scoring a feature
If you complete a feature with 20th Anniversary Expansion tiles, it is scored according to the normal rules.
Final Scoring
At the end of the game, a feature with 20th Anniversary Expansion tiles is scored according to the normal rules.
4. Extra turn action
Summary
- If you place a tile with an arrow symbol so that the symbol is not activated (the arrow is not pointing to an adjacent tile), you get 2 points immediately, otherwise nothing changes.
- You activate an arrow symbol by placing the tile with the arrow pointing to an adjacent tile, or by placing a tile adjacent to another tile in the playing area featuring an arrow symbol pointing to the tile just placed.
- A maximum of 1 symbol can be activated per turn. If you could activate more than one, you may only choose one of them.
- If you place a symbol tile activating a symbol on another tile in the playing area, you score the usual 2 points (because you do not activate the symbol on the tile just placed).
Other expansions
This section contains additional information about the interactions with other Carcassonne expansions.
You can only use the and arrow symbols to deploy a valid meeple to regular features, that is, those features that can be claimed and scored. Other special areas should not be allowed:
- Towers (Exp. 4 - The Tower)
- City of Carcassonne (Exp. 6 - Count, King and Robber)
- Crown of Wheel of Fortune (The Wheel of Fortune)
- City of Leipzig (The Markets of Leipzig)
- Bathhouses (The Barber-Surgeons)
- The Solovei Razboynik tree (Russian Promos)
- The Vodyanoy lake (Russian Promos)
Acrobat pyramids: You should not be allowed to use a arrow symbol to add a meeple to an acrobat pyramid where you already have a meeple. This action allows you to alter the majority in a feature, but it should not be allowed to be used with features where majority does not apply. An official clarification would be necessary.
Monasteries in Germany / Monasteries in the Netherlands & Belgium / Japanese Buildings
Placing a second meeple on a special monastery: When using a arrow symbol to place a second meeple to a special monastery, it has to be placed in the same position as the one already on the feature: A second monk or a second abbot.[6]
Placing a meeple on a special monastery: You should be allowed to use a arrow symbol to place a meeple as a monk or as an abbot on an unoccupied incomplete special monastery. [7]

- ↑
The ZMG rules include an additional clarification for monasteries and gardens:
"You may place a normal meeple (or abbot) on unoccupied monasteries (or gardens) which have been not yet surrounded by 8 tiles." - ↑
The ZMG rules use a different wording for this sentence and seems mistranslated, since fields are always considered as uncompleted, no matter they are completely surrounded:
"Fields which are not completely surrounded count as not yet completed, since they are not scored until the end of the game." - ↑ This last sentence was included in the rules by Mindok.
- ↑ This expansion does only allow you to place more than two meeples together this way. Other expansions, such as Mini #1 - The Flier (Flying Machines) or Mini #7 - Crop Circles, do not have this limitation.
- ↑ You may perform only one extra full turn with this symbol.
- ↑ The idea of this action is to pay homage to the large meeples in Exp. 1, so the new meeple is added to the feature in order to increase your majority vote for the same scoring. So you should be allowed to add a second meeple placed as a monk if the first one was placed as a monk, or a second meeple placed as an abbot if the first one was placed as an abbot. Mixing meeple positions should not be allowed since they would participate in different scorings and this would defeat the original purpose.
- ↑ If the special monastery is completed, you should not be allowed to place a meeple as a monk on it since the same restrictions as for magic portals should apply.
