== General info and comments ==

'''Crop Circles''' (Mini #7) was released for the new edition by [[Hans I'm Glück|HiG]] in {{Year|2017}}, bundled as part of [[Variants#Big Box 6|Big Box 6]].

Mysterious shapes appear in the fields of Carcassonne, holding a strange power over the knights, thieves, and farmers of the realm.

* '''6 landscape tiles''' with crop circles

=== Preparation ===

=== Playing the Game ===

When you draw a tile with a crop circle, perform a standard turn, following the normal order of {{ColorGreen|1. Place a Tile}}, {{ColorBlue|2. Place a Meeple}}, and {{ColorRed|3. Score a Feature}}. Then, perform to the new action: {{ColorYellow|4. Crop Circle Action}}.

<br />  

3=After you place a tile with a crop circle on it, you '''must''' choose one of the following actions:

 

:'''A)''' Based on the crop circle, add a meeple to a feature where you already have a meeple.

:'''B)''' Based on the crop circle, remove one of your meeples from a feature and return it to your supply.

Then, all players (starting with the player to your left and proceeding clockwise) '''must''' perform the action you chose, and then '''you''' perform that action. <ref>

=== Additional rules ===

* If you do not have any meeples of the indicated type in play and '''did not place the tile''', you do not perform the chosen action.

* Once all players have performed the chosen action, play resumes, starting with the player on your left.

<li>{{ColorRed|You}} place a tile with the Shield crop circle and place one of your meeples on it as a knight. {{ColorRed|You}} choose action '''A'''.</li>

<li>{{ColorRed|You}} place another knight on the same feature as the knight {{ColorRed|you}} placed earlier in the turn. {{ColorRed|You}} could not have chosen the city on the upper-left side of the tile, because {{ColorRed|you}} did not already have a knight there.</li>
