Een slim tegel-leg spel voor 2 tot 5 spelers, voor de leeftijd van 8 en hoger door Klaus-Jürgen Wrede

De stad Carcassonne in Zuid-Frankrijk staat bekend om zijn unieke Romeinse en middeleeuwse vestingwerken. De spelers wagen hun kansen met hun volgers in de steden, kloosters, wegen en besneeuwde velden rond Carcassonne. De ontwikkeling van het land ligt in hun handen en de bekwame inzet van de horige als dieven, ridders, monniken en boeren is de weg naar succes.

Speelmateriaal

• 72 land tegels (inclusief een met een donkere achterkant) die weg-, stads- en veldsegmenten afbeelden, evenals kloosters en kruisingen.

Tile description and features:
A. Reverse of the starting tile B. A cloister C. City segments	D. Farm segments E. Road segments F. Crossings

• 40 followers in five colors:

	Followers in five colors

  Vraag: Too few followers—are we playing wrong or are there really too few?

Antwoord:

This is the number intended by designers. A certain shortage of followers is entirely intentional. An important element of the game is precisely learning to be economical with one's followers.

Elke horige kan worden ingezet als ridder, monnik, dief of boer. Een horige van elke kleur wordt gebruikt op het scorebord om de punten van de speler mee aan te duiden.

• Een scorebord. Dit wordt gebruikt om de scores van de spelers bij te houden.
• Een spelregelboekje en een bijlage.

Regels

Overzicht

De spelers plaatsen de landtegels beurtelings. Dit leidt tot de groei van wegen, steden, kloosters en boerderijen, waar de spelers hun horigen op kunnen inzetten om punten te verdienen. Aangezien er zowel tijdens het spel als op het einde punten kunnen worden gewonnen, zal de winnaar alleen te voorschijn komen tijdens de eindscore.

Voorbereiding

The starting tile is placed in the middle of the table. The remaining tiles are mixed and placed face-down on the table in several stacks, so that each player can access them easily. Tiles can also be placed into a sack or game box and drawn randomly. The scoreboard should be placed at the edge of the table if possible.

Scorebord

Each player chooses a color and receives the eight followers, placing one on the ‘0’ field of the scoreboard as a scoring marker. The remaining seven followers stay with the player for the moment, as his or her supply.

The youngest player decides who starts the game.

Spelverloop

Het spel gaat met de klok mee. De speler die aan de beurt is voert de volgende acties uit in de gegeven volgorde:

1. The player must draw one new land tile and place it.
2. The player may draw one follower from his or her supply and deploy it to the tile just placed.
3. If any roads, cities, or cloisters are completed through the placement of the tile, they must be scored now.

Dan is de volgende speler aan de beurt.

1. Het plaatsen van een tegel

Als eerste actie, moet de speler moet een steen uit een van de stapels trekken. De tegel is wordt dan getoond aan de andere spelers (zodat zij mogelijk de speler kunnen 'adviseren' over waar hij het mag plaatsen) en op tafel gelegd. De speler moet de volgende punten in acht nemen:

Minstens één zijde van de nieuwe tegel (met een rood rand in de voorbeelden hieronder) moet een of meer tegels raken die al in het spel zijn. Hoek-tot-hoek plaatsing is niet toegestaan.

• Any city, road, and field segments must continue segments already in play. 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.
  

  Illegal tile placement

In the rare case that a tile cannot legally be placed anywhere, and all players agree, it is removed from the game, and the player draws another.

2. Het plaatsen van een meeple

When the player has placed the tile, he or she may deploy a follower. In doing so the following points must be observed:

• Only one follower may be deployed each turn.
• The follower must come from the player's supply.
• The follower may only be deployed to the tile just placed.
• The player must decide which part of the tile the follower is deployed to as either:

a thief on a road segment

a knight in a city segment

a monk on a cloister (monastery)

a farmer on one of those two field segments. Place farmer lying down!

• There must be no other follower (not even one belonging to the same player) on the road, city, or field segments connected to the tile just placed. It does not matter how far away the follower is. The following two examples may help to explain:

BLUE can only deploy a farmer: there is already a knight in the connecting city.

BLUE can deploy the follower as a knight or a thief, or as a farmer on the small farm segment: the large farm is already occupied.

If a player runs out of followers during the course of play, he or she may only place tiles. But don't panic: you can also get followers back.

If you complete a previously unoccupied feature when placing a tile, you do not have to occupy it and earn the points. You can close the city or road without it being occupied and (for example) deploy a farmer as long as the farm is unoccupied. The city does not necessarily require a knight to look after it.

Earning points from a closed city

If any feature was completed through the placement of the tile, it must now be scored. If not, the player’s turn is over, and it is the turn of the next player on the left.

  Vraag: We have difficulty deciding when a placed tile represents a new city or belongs to one already being built.

Antwoord:

'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.

  Vraag: On cloister tiles, are we allowed to deploy a follower on the surrounding field segment?

Antwoord:

Yes! The same rules are valid for a field surrounding a cloister as for any other field. You can also deploy a farmer next to a cloister. In this case the cloister remains unoccupied for the rest of the game.[unless the cloister is occupied via a magic portal, or from a follower in Carcassonne—ed.]

3. Het scoren van afgeronde wegen, steden en kloosters

Een voltooide weg

A road is completed when the road segments on both sides end in a crossing, a city segment, or a cloister, or when the road forms a closed circle. There is no limit to the number of road segments which can lie between these endings.

A player who has a thief on this completed road scores as many points as the road is long, decided by counting the number of tiles.

RED scores 4 points

RED scores 3 points

Whenever points are scored, they are immediately recorded on the scoreboard (more on this in the section about the scoreboard).

  Vraag: Can a road end in nothing?

Antwoord:

No, like all the usual land tiles, a road segment must continue to another road segment on all edges.

  Vraag: How are the road segments between T-junctions scored? Are the horizontal segments (on top of the T) also ends, or do these count as straight roads that have to be completed elsewhere?

Antwoord:

Every crossing (or junction) ends a road, irrespective of which direction they reach the junction from. The thieves cannot enter the small villages on the junctions either. In the example shown, every thief is on its own road.

Een voltooide stad

A city is completed when its segments are fully encompassed by a city wall and there are no gaps within the city. There is no limit to how many segments a city may contain.

A player who has a knight in a completed city scores 2 points for every city segment. Every pennant (banner / shield symbol) scores an extra 2 points. Note that a pennant only affects the city segment it is in, not the whole tile (if there is more than one segment on a single tile).

RED scores 8 points (three city segments and one pennant)

RED scores 8 points (four city segments, no pennants) When both city segments on a tile are in a single city (marked with A), they only count as one segment

What happens if there are several followers on a completed road or in a completed city?

Through the wily placement of land tiles it is quite possible for several thieves to be on a road, or for several knights to occupy a city.

The points are then scored by the player with the most thieves or knights. In the case of a draw, all players involved score the full number of points.

The new tile joins the previously unconnected city segments, forming a single completed city

BLUE and RED both score the full 10 points, as they both have one knight in the city—a draw!

Een voltooid klooster

A cloister is completed when it is surrounded by eight land tiles. The player who has a monk in the cloister immediately scores 9 points—1 point for every land tile.

RED scores 9 points

Het terug geven van de meeples aan hun eigenaren

After a road, city, or cloister has been completed and scored – and only then – any thieves, knights, or monks involved are returned to their owner. From the next turn onwards, the player can then use them again in whatever role he or she chooses.

---

It is possible to deploy a follower, score immediately, and have the follower returned, all in the same turn. In this case, you must use the following order:

1. Complete a road, city or cloister with the new tile.
2. Deploy a thief, knight or monk.
3. Score the completed road, city or cloister.
4. Return the thief, knight or monk to your supply.

RED scores 4 points

RED scores 3 points

---

  Vraag: If a player draws a tile with two city segments and completes a small city, earning 4 points, can he or she then deploy a follower to a new city segment in the same turn?

Antwoord:

A player may only deploy one follower per turn, and that follower may be deployed only once, and it must be before any scoring. If the player already occupies the small, now-completed city, he or she may deploy a second follower to the other city segment immediately after placing the tile. The small city will then be scored and the follower involved returned to the player. If the player does not yet occupy this city, he or she can decide which of the two city segments to deploy a follower to. If the follower is deployed to the small city, it will be returned immediately and the player will earn four points, but the follower cannot be redeployed.

Weilanden

Several connected field segments form a farm. Farms and field segments are not scored. They serve only as places to deploy farmers; the owner of the farm only scores points at the end of the game. As such, farmers remain on the farm for the duration of the game and are never returned to their owner! In order to make that clear, the farmers should be laid on their backs.

Farms are separated from each other by roads, cities and the edge of the playing field – this is important during the final scoring. In determining farm size, farms can be limited by all kinds of barriers, for example, roads, cities, or rivers which cannot be circumvented, or the edge of the playing field. It can certainly happen that a farm covers almost the entire playing field, and there will likely be farms that remain open for the entire game.

All three farmers are on their own farms. The road segment and the city separate thefarms from each other.

After the placement of the new tile, the farms of the three farmers are joined to form one.

Be careful: The player who placed the new tile may not deploy a farmer, since the (now connected) farm is already occupied by farmers.

Het scorebord

Any points scored should be recorded on the scoreboard immediately. The board is a track of fifty fields that can be lapped many times. When the field "0" is reached or passed the player takes a point tile (from Inns and Cathedrals) and places it in plain view of all other players, with the number "50" face up. In this way it is clear to all that the player has already scored 50 points or more If the player reaches or passes the field "0" again, they should turn the point tile over so that the number "100" is face up. It is quite possible that the player might lap the circuit a third time: then he or she should take another point tile and display it next to the first, the "50" face up.

"50"/"100" tiles and a scoring marker after 50 points.

Note: When two followers of one color are occupying a road, city, or farm, you DO NOT score double in these cases. The number of followers (or in Inns and Cathedrals the size of the followers) has no effect on the points that a player earns from a road, city, cloister, or farm. Two knights do not double the points. The number of followers is only important in establishing who has the majority.

Scoring when two followers are in the same city

Het einde van het spel

The game ends at the end of the turn in which the last land tile is placed. Any roads, cities, and cloisters completed in this round are scored as usual. This is followed by the final scoring.

De eindtelling

Het scoren van niet afgeronde wegen, steden en kloosters

The first things to be scored during the final scoring are the incomplete roads, cities and cloisters. For every incomplete road, city and cloister the owner scores 1 point for every segment. Pennants also now score only 1 point. As soon as the feature in question has been scored, the followers involved are removed.

RED scores 3 points for the incomplete road. YELLOW scores 5 points for the incomplete cloister. BLUE scores 3 points for the incomplete city on the bottom right. GREEN scores 8 points for the large incomplete city. BLACK scores nothing, since GREEN has more knights in the city.

  Vraag: Final scoring: segments of incomplete roads. 1 point per follower or 1 point per road segment? Cloister: 1 point for every neighboring tile (e.g. 5), or is an incomplete cloister worth only 1 point?

Antwoord:

During the final scoring, roads earn exactly as much as during the game, that is, 1 point per tile that the road occupies. In the example shown, BLUE earns four points at the end of the game. The only exception in the final scoring is a road with an inn from Inns and Cathedrals, which earns no points whatsoever at the end of the game. The cloister earns 1 point for the cloister itself and 1 point for every neighboring tile. When there are five tiles surrounding the cloister it earns 6 in total.

Het scoren van de weilanden

Only the farmers and their farms are left, and these will be scored now. The owner of each farm should be established. If several players have farmers on a given farm, then the player with the most farmers is the owner. In the case of a draw, all the players with the most farmers are considered to be owners. The owner (or owners) of the farm score 3 points for every completed city which borders the farm, or lies within it. A bordering city is one that has a wall bordering the farm; a single point of contact at the corner of a tile is not sufficient. If a city borders more than one farm, the owner(s) of each farm score(s) 3 points for the city.

BLUE scores 9 points.

BLUE scores 6 points. RED scores 3 points. The incomplete city generates no points.

The numbered boxes indicate the order in which the tiles were placed. Having the majority of farmers, RED owns the large farm, and scores 6 points: 3 each for the cities A and B. BLUE owns the small farm, scoring 3 points for city A.

On the large farm RED and YELLOW both have two farmers, and so both score 6 points: 3 each for the cities A and B. BLUE owns the small farm, scoring 3 points for city A.

Every farm scores the bordering cities in the same way. When this has been done, the game is over.

The player with the most points wins.

  Vraag: It is unclear whether incomplete farms earn points during the final scoring.

Antwoord:

It is almost impossible to close off or complete most of the farms. The most important thing when scoring the farms are the cities, which do indeed have to be complete. So: completed cities count on incomplete farms as well.

  Vraag: At the end of the game, do we score farms which are completely closed off by roads, but which don't have any adjacent cities? If so, how?

Antwoord:

Strictly speaking, they should be scored exactly like every other farm, with 3 points for every completed city. In this case, that makes a total of zero points. And the farmer is nevertheless unable to leave the farm. All this is of course highly frustrating and cries out for revenge!

Voorbeeld van het scoren van een boer

Here is a more detailed example of how farmers and their farms are scored.

Be careful with the edges of the farm: farms are separated from each other by roads, cities (if they don’t lie within the farm) and the edge of the playing field.

* Farm 1: BLUE owns farm 1. Two completed cities (A and B) border the farm. For each completed city BLUE scores 3 points (irrespective of their size), or a total of 6 points.

* Farm 2: RED and BLUE own farm 2. There are three completed cities (A, B and C) bordering or lying within this farm. RED and BLUE therefore score 9 points each.

Notice that cities A and B score points for BLUE on farm 1 as well as RED and BLUE on farm 2, since these cities border both farms. The city on the bottom left is incomplete, and so generates no points.

* Farm 3: YELLOW owns farm 3, since YELLOW has more farmers on it than BLACK. There are four completed cities bordering or lying within farm 3, so YELLOW scores 12 points.

Huisregels

• The players decide who starts the game by any method they choose—such as by rolling three followers. The first player to ‘roll’ a standing follower decides who plays first. (Thanks to Joff.)

• To determine the first player; each player draws a tile from the bag, the player that drew the tile with the most roads (0 to 4) plays first, if there is a tie for most roads, a draw-off takes place. This is repeated until someone wins. (Thanks to michael.)

• Take your next tile at the end of your turn, to give you time to think about placement and avoid analysis paralysis.

• Play with a three-tile hand. The abbey counts as part of your hand. Play your turn, including the builder, and then draw back up to three tiles. These tiles could be visible to all or hidden to the other players (Thanks to DavidP and youtch.)

• When playing with a bag for the tiles, the original starting tile may be put into the bag, and unplayable tiles can be put back into the bag rather than set to one side. (Thanks to dwhitworth.)

• Trees (bushes) on roads do not end the road—only houses do (when the road forks). This makes road building a lot more dynamic. (Thanks to Tobias.)

• When a tile is the only tile which can currently complete a structure, other players can offer to ‘buy’ it by offering points, trades counter, abbey, and so on. (Thanks to Deatheux.)

• If you place a tile that fills a hole in the playing field by touching something on all four adjacent sides, you get another turn. This helps motivate people to finish the board even if they do not get an advantage from the placement. (Does not apply to the abbey tile). (Thanks to viberunner.)

• Incomplete features at the end of the game do not score points at the end of the game. (Thanks to metoth.)

• The edge of the table limits the playing area. Thus, a player may not place a tile past the edge of the table or move the playing area to place a tile that would have been past the edge of the table. (Thanks to metoth for prompting this one, and to SkullOne for pointing out that this is an official rule from Hunters and Gatherers.)

• Table borders COMPLETE features as an abbey would. (Thanks to PreGy.)

• Use colored dice instead of meeples on the scoring track. Start out with the 6 showing on top. When the marker completes one lap, turn it to the number 1 to indicate it has completed one lap. This shows at a glance which player is on what lap and who's ahead. On the 100 space track it’s even easier to determine someone’s score at a glance. (Thanks to Carcking.)

Use of a Table

A number of questions have been asked about rules related to the play area itself, including what happens when the edge of the area is reached, or if a table has to be used for play. The following clarifications are from Georg Wild from HiG (5/2013):

• The edge of the table is the limit for the game if, as stated in the rules, a table is used.
• The rules state that the starting tile is placed in the middle of the table. If all of the tiles are shifted to allow more room, the starting tile would no longer be in the middle. So in principle, total shifting of the tiles is not allowed. Additionally, with a manual shift of all of the tiles, the tiles and figures on the field can slip, which could lead to incorrect positioning of tiles or figures.
• Addition of a second table is possible if one of an appropriate height is added to the first table. If a table is extended (as with an additional panel), make sure that the tiles and figures on the playing field do not slip.
• Playing on the floor: The rules technically do not allow this, because the rules state that the first tile is placed in the middle of the table. Playing on the floor is not forbidden, however, if use of a table is not feasible. If the floor is used, tiles must be placed so all tiles are visible to all players. Tiles cannot be placed under the sofa, cabinet/shelf, etc.
• It is important generally, that all the players in the round agree how to play:
  • Table - Standard
  • Table - with "total shifting" of tiles
  • Table - with extension
  • Floor
• Continue to play fairly and not intentionally unfair to other players.
