[[File:Symbol_Abbot_C2.png|75px|frame|right|The Abbot symbol]]

[[The Abbot|The Abbot]] was originally released by [[Hans im Glück|Hans im Glück]] in {{Year|2014}}.

{{IconBook}}

Gardens do not count as monasteries in relation to their interaction with other expansions, such as Message 3 (Smallest monastery) from [[The Messages|The Messages (Dispatches)]]. (10/2018)<br />

{{IconWorld}}

This clarification can be generalized to other expansions providing bonus affecting monasteries (monastic buildings) but not gardens:

* Mini #2 - Messages (Dispatches): Message 3 (Smallest Monastery)

* Markets of Leipzig: Bookbinders quarter bonus

</ref>

Finally, it must be noted that the (new) abbot in this expansion is not the same as the (old) abbot used on [[Monasteries (1st edition)|German, Dutch and Belgian Monasteries]], and [[Japanese Buildings|Japanese Buildings]]. The new abbot is a specialized meeple for monasteries and gardens whereas the old abbots were normal meeples placed on specialized monasteries. Just in case things weren’t confusing enough already.

<td>'''Changes to the 20th Anniversary Edition and Carcassonne C3'''

{{IconWorld}} As far as the [[Variants#Big Box 6|Big Box 6]] is concerned, the sixth set of (pink) meeples is a part of the basic game, not [[Inns and Cathedrals|Inns and Cathedrals]]. The same happens in [[Variants#Big Box 6|Big Box 6]] with the sixth abbot meeple. Prior to [[Variants#Big Box 6|Big Box 6]], the Base Game included five abbots, with the sixth included with the sixth set of meeples in [[Inns and Cathedrals|Inns and Cathedrals]].</ref>

== Rules ==

Each player adds the abbot of their color to their supply. With the exception of the new rules used with this mini-expansion, all basic Carcassonne rules remain unchanged.

=== Gameplay ===

}}

{{IconBook}}

An abbot could be placed onto an abbey or a shrine/cult place, as they are considered monasteries (albeit the latter heretic). The abbot can be involved in a challenge between a monastery/abbey and a shrine/cult place. The abbot's special ability would allow him to quit the challenge, even if his monastery/abbey or shrine/cult place was not complete, and would score the incomplete feature (monastery, abbey or shrine/cult place). See [[Abbey and the Mayor|Abbey and Mayor]] and [[Count, King and Robber|Count, King and Robber]] for more details.

{{IconWorld}}

In contrast with the previous clarification from 3/2015, the Order of Play included in [[Variants#Big Box 6|Big Box 6]] omits the abbot from the list of figures that can be a flier. This omission is due to a mistake by HiG, as confirmed by one of the German proofreaders (Kettlefish) in this post from 5/2018 on Carcassonne Central:

[http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=3384.msg58360#msg58360 http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=3384.msg58360#msg58360]

The same omission is still present in rules translated into other languages. (01/2019)
