German Cathedrals (''Kathedralen in Deutschland'') was originally released by [[Hans im Glück]] in {{Year|2016}}.

This mini expansion, containing 6 well-known cathedrals in Germany, gives the players the opportunity to gain a respectable number of points with the help of archbishop and highwayman.

== Inhalt ==

* 6 new land tiles showing cathedrals in Germany.

Each of the 6 cathedral tiles has 3 or 4 roads segments starting from the cathedral. <ref>{{IconBook}} Authors Note: Of course, the real cathedrals are located within their cities. We wanted to make the distinction since cathedrals already played a part in the first expansion [[Inns and Cathedrals (1st edition)|Inns and Cathedrals]]. Thus, the cathedrals in this expansion are standing in the fields and fulfill their own function. We are also aware that no cathedrals and archbishops exist in the Protestant church. We simplified the names for easier reading. Thank you for understanding.</ref>

Shuffle the six new Land tiles showing the cathedrals with those from the base game.  This expansion has been developed for the Carcassonne base game and its rules still apply <ref>{{IconWorld}} '''Question''': If you play with German Cathedrals and Cult Places, do the German Cathedrals act as a kind of monastery? '''Answer''': No, there is no interaction as there is between monasteries/cloisters and cult places</ref>.

When you draw a Land tile showing a cathedral place it according to the normal rules.

After placing a Land tile showing a cathedral you may place one of your meeples on it according to the normal rules. You may place it on a road, in a field, or on the cathedral as archbishop.

=== Zwischenwertung ===

==== Scoring a closed road ====

When you complete a road leading directly to a cathedral your highwayman gives you '''2 points''' for each tile the road consist of.<ref>{{IconWorld}} '''Question''': If a road starts at one German Cathedral and ends at a different German Cathedral is the scoring of the road still 2 points per tile? '''Answer''': Yes, still 2 points per tile.</ref>

'''Special rule when scoring a road'''

Unlike the rules of the base game, for a road starting and ending on the '''same''' Land tile showing a cathedral, you count and score each section of the road separately - i.e. that tile counts twice.

The cathedral itself can only be scored once all roads leading to it are closed. The archbishop gives you points for all the roads - '''1 point''' for each road '''tile'''. The 3 or 4 road segments on the cathedral tile are counted separately.

[[File:german_Cathedrals_C1_example_b.png|300px|none|thumb|

{{ColorRed|RED}} gets 8 points for the finished cathedral from two closed roads - 1x worth 5 points and 1x worth 3 points. {{ColorBlue|BLUE}} gets 6 points for the closed road.]]

After scoring you take your meeple back as usual.

At the end of the game all unfinished roads leading to cathedrals and all unfinished cathedrals give you points. Each highwayman <ref>

{{IconWorld}}

Although the wording is not very precise, an interpretation of the rules according to the Carcassonne standard rules would mean that a highwayman final scoring should be obtained taking into account the majority on the road stretch it is on. <br/ >

Therefore, according to the rules provided for '''German Cathedrals''', a player having the majority with one or more highwaymen on an incomplete road connected to German Cathedral should get the usual scoring for that road times the the number of his/her highwaymen on that particular road.

</ref> and each archbishop gives you one point for each road tile leading to the cathedral.

When using [[Inns and Cathedrals (1st edition)|Inns and Cathedrals]], for each closed road with an Inn or more (Inns do not stack) that leads to a cathedral, you get 3 instead of 2 points for each road tile, and 2 points instead of 1 for your archbishop. Unfinished roads with Inns at the end of the game are still worth 0 points. This applies to the highwayman as well as the archbishop.
