'''Crop Circles II''' (Mini #7) was originally released by [[Hans im Glück]] in 2012.
'''Crop Circles I''' was originally released by [[Hans im Glück]] in {{Year|2010}} as an independently packaged expansion included in a limited edition of the German base game of Carcassonne. It was later made available as a standalone expansion the same year.


The Crop Circles I expansion was an independently packaged expansion which was also included in some versions of the German base game of Carcassonne. The Crop Circles II “expansion” is considered #7 of the mini-expansions released in 2012, but it does not exist as an independent set. Rather, one tile was packed with each of the preceding 6 mini expansions.

==== Example of option A) ====
After the crop circle action, the active player should continue with any actions pending as part of their turn, such as removing a knight from a sieged city through a cloister (see [[Besiegers Cathars Siege (1st edition)|'''Besiegers - Cathars - Siege''']]) or performing the second part of a double turn (see [[Traders and Builders (1st edition)|'''Exp. 2 - Traders and Builders''']]). After all pending actions are performed, the next player's turn can proceed.
