Symbole de l’extension Abbayes d’Allemagne

Abbayes d’Allemagne pour la seconde édition a été dévoilée par Hans im Glück en Template:Year fr pendant l’Essen Spiel.

Cette mini extension ajoute 6 célèbres abbayes allemandes à vos parties de Carcassonne et modifie la manière d'évaluer ce type de tuile. Ce n'est que lors de l'évaluation finale que vous saurez si vous avez pris les bonnes décisions en cours de partie.

Avant cette publication, une autre mini extention Monuments Japonais, avec les mêmes règles, a été éditée par Hans im Glück en Template:Year fr. Elle possède des illustrations de Toshihiko Ishibashi qui ne correspondent pas au style de la première édition, bien que le manuel ait été basé sur cette édition. Néanmoins, elle est considérée comme une mini extension de la nouvelle édition. Ces tuiles n'ont pas de symbole d'extension.

Cette mini extension a été conçue pour le jeu de base de Carcassonne et suit donc les règles normales du jeu. Vous pouvez utiliser "Abbayes d'Allemagne" avec toutes les autres extensions du jeu, mais il n’existe aucune règle officielle pour expliquer les différentes interactions possibles.

Rules

Although the Meeple can be used as an abbot in this expansion, this should not be confused with the abbot meeple from The Abbot expansion.

When the rules below refer to the special new monastery tiles, assume they are referring to the Japanese Buildings too, as they share the same behavior. The text below only mentions the new Monasteries for the sake of readability.

Preparation

Remove the “original” monastery tiles from the base game and return them to the box. ^[1] Mix the six new monastery tiles in with the rest of the game tiles.

Gameplay

1. Placing a tile

If a player draws one of the special monastery tiles, it is placed according to the normal rules.

2. Placing a meeple

After placing the special monastery tile, the player may place a meeple on any feature present on the tile according to the normal rules. If deploying a meeple on the monastery, the player has two options: ^[2]

As a Monk: In this option, the monastery is treated like a monastery in the base game, and all the normal scoring rules remain the same; or
As an Abbot: In this option, the meeple is considered an abbot of the monastery. To emphasize this, the player stands the meeple on its side to signify that the special monastery will be scored differently than a original monastery. The monastery scores only at the end of the game.

You place the tile with the Lorch Monastery. As you decide to place as an abbot, you place it sideways on the monastery.

These two options are available whenever a meeple would be placed on the monastery: initial tile placement, wagon movement, magic portal, flier, etc.

Note that the special monastery is only a single feature, even though it can be used two different ways. Thus, if it is occupied by a meeple, one cannot place a phantom there, drive the wagon there, or deploy a meeple to it with a magic portal.

3a. Scoring a monk

A meeple placed on a special monastery as a monk follows the regular scoring rules of Carcassonne.

3b. Final scoring of an abbot

An abbot on a special monastery is not scored until the end of the game. For his abbot, the player receives 1 point per tile present in the vertical column and horizontal row outward from the monastery. The monastery tile itself also scores 1 point. Any empty spaces in the monastery’s row or column interrupt the series of tiles that score for the monastery.

Example: BLUE and RED have each deployed an abbot during the game, and these are now scored at game end. The BLUE abbot scores 2 + 0 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 6 points. (Since there is a gap in the row to the right of BLUE'S monastery, no points are earned in that direction.) The RED abbot scores 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 10 points.

Note: For the sake of clarity, the figures in the additions correspond to the number of tiles in the column above, the row to the right, the column below, the row to the left and the monastery itself respectively.

Interactions with other expansions

General comments

You can occupy a special monastery with the following figures placing them as a monk (standing) or as an abbot (on its side):
- Normal meeple, the standard option (Base game)
- Abbot meeple (Base game - The Abbot)
- Large meeple (Exp. 1 - Inns and Cathedrals)
- Wagon (Exp. 5 - Abbey & Mayor)
- Ringmaster (Exp. 10 - Under the Big Top)
- Phantom (The Phantom)

A special monastery accepts two possible meeple placements: as a monk or as an abbot. The normal rules assume that only one of these cases may happen at a time but, in combination with other expansions (see Exp. 6 - Count, King and Robber and The Flier (Flying Machines)), several meeples may be present on a monastery during scoring. This leads to the following scenarios:
- Special monastery occupied by at least one monk (and any number of meeples placed as abbots):
  - The feature will be completed when surrounded by tiles.
  - The player(s) with the majority of monks will receive points for the completed monastery, and the monks will be returned to their owners.
  - Any meeples placed as abbots on the feature are not considered for this scoring and will stay on the feature (see next scenario).
- Special monastery occupied by meeples placed as abbots only:
  - The feature will not be completed even if surrounded by tiles.
  - The special monastery will be scored at the end of the game, where the player(s) with the majority of meeples placed as abbots will receive the points.

Count, King And Robber

An abbot cannot be involved in a challenge with a heretic on a shrine/cult place, as the two scoring mechanisms are entirely different (the abbot's monastery is never completed, so the heretic would always win).

Players may deploy meeples from the cathedral district to a completed monastery about to be scored. The meeples can only be deployed as monks. Deploying meeples as abbots is not allowed since they would not participate in the scoring.

Bridges, Castles And Bazaars

Because an abbot scores only at the end of the game, and this special monastery is never considered completed, a monastery with an abbot will not score points for a meeple in a castle.

Hills and Sheep

When using special monasteries, the vineyard bonus is applied to the special monastery if the meeple is placed as a monk and the feature is scored as a finished original monastery. However, the vineyard bonus is not applied if a meeple is placed as an abbot on a special monastery, as the abbot scores only at the end of the game, when the vineyard has no effect.

The Flying Machines

If a second meeple is placed on the special monastery through use of the The Flying Machines, the player can choose to make the new meeple either a monk or an abbot, regardless of the identity of the first meeple there. However, if the special monastery is already surrounded by 8 tiles, thus representing a completed monastery, the second meeple must be an abbot.
