Place the start tile (the one with a dark back) in the middle of the table<ref>{{IconWorld}} See notes on [[#Use of a Table |Use of a Table]]</ref>. Shuffle the remaining tiles and set them as different facedown stacks<ref>{{IconHouse}} Tiles can also be placed into a sack and drawn randomly.</ref> that are easily accessible to all players.

Finally, we have the meeples. You will find in the box 40 regular meeples, including 8<ref>{{IconBook}} '''Question:''' Too few followers—are we playing wrong or are there really too few? '''Answer:''' In our view there are not too few. A certain shortage of followers is entirely intentional. An important element of the game is precisely learning to be economical with one's followers.</ref> meeples in each of these colors: yellow, red, green, blue, and black.<ref>{{IconArrow}} As far as the [[Variants#Big Box 6|Big Box 6]] is concerned, the sixth set of (pink) followers is a part of the basic game, not [[Inns and Cathedrals|Inns and Cathedrals]]. </ref> In addition, there are also 5 abbots<ref>{{IconWorld}} Usage of abbots is described in [[The Abbot]] mini expansion page</ref>, including 1 in each of the same colors.

# '''Placing a tile:''' The player '''must''' draw '''exactly''' '''1 Land tile''' from a stack and place it faceup to continue the landscape.<ref>{{IconBook}} '''Question:''' We have difficulty deciding when a placed tile represents a new city or belongs to one already being built. '''Answer:''' 'Corner to corner' is not a connection! Segments can only be connected on the edges. In the example shown there are two cities at the moment.</ref><ref>{{IconBook}} Cloisters can be placed directly next to each other, or corner to corner. It is not necessary for there to be eight other (non-cloister) tiles neighbouring a cloister. A cloister stands in the middle of a field segment and other segments can be placed next to it. In contrast to roads, cities, and fields, it is not possible to connect to a cloister.</ref><ref>{{IconBook}} A newly placed land tile must fit the adjacent terrain on all edges. During placement it is not enough to look for only one side that fits.</ref>

3=When both ends of a road are closed, that road is completed and scored. The end of a road is closed when it meets a village<ref>{{IconWorld}} Village is a little set of red roofed buildings surrounding the crossroad.</ref>, a city, a monastery, or it loops onto itself by meeting the other end.<ref>{{IconBook}} '''Question:''' Can a road end in nothing? '''Answer:''' No, like all the usual land tiles, a road segment must continue to another road segment on all edges.</ref>
