You are reading the rules for this tile design. |
If your tiles have a different design, then choose a game from Spin-offs. |
Promotional image of The Bets on CundCo |
With this mini-expansion you place bets on how many tiles a road or a city will consist of upon completion. Influence these areas in your favor and get the extra points.
General info and comments
The Bets was originally released by Hans im Glück in 2022.
This expansion doesn't exist for the 1st edition (C1 for short) or the 2nd edition (C2 for short).
This expansion has cities with clipped buildings.
This expansion has been developed for the Carcassonne basic game. All the basic game rules still apply in addition to the expansion rules below. You can combine it with other expansions - but at your own risk – that is, there will be no official rules for these combinations.
Contents
- 10 new bookmaker land tiles featuring a betting office.
- 36 betting chips
Rules
Preparation
Each player receives 6 betting chips in their color and places them face down in front of them. Shuffle the 10 bookmaker tiles of this expansion together with the other land tiles.
Placing bets
If you draw a tile with a betting office depicted, carry out all three actions according to the usual rules 1. Place a tile, 2. Place a meeple and possibly also 3. Score points. Then, perform the new action 4. Place bets unless it is the last tile in the game.
4. Place bets
Everyone may choose one of their own betting chips from their supply and place it face down on the betting office on the tile. Stack the chips of all players onto the betting office. You may always look at the face down chips in front of you.
If all roads and cities are already finished after placing the bookmaker tile, no betting chips are placed.
Attention:
- All chips already lying on tiles stay face down until the scoring. You may not look at those chips!
- If the last tile to be placed depicts a betting office, no more chips are to be placed.
Settling bets
When a city or road with bookmaker tiles is completed, you will also score the bets on them.
3. Score points
Settling a bet
When scoring a road or city with segments on one or more bookmaker tiles with betting chips on it, those betting chips must be scored after the usual scoring. To do so, flip them over.
- If the number on your chip matches the number of tiles in the completed road or city, you score points.
- If your number does not match the number of tiles, you do not score bonus points.
Take your betting chips back into your supply after you have scored them. You may use them on new bookmaker tiles.
Exceptions:
- If several bookmaker tiles are part of one or more scorings, you score all of them — one after another.
- If several features with the same betting chips involved are being scored within the same turn, the player whose turn it is decides which feature the chips are being scored for. They must decide before the chips are flipped over.
Betting chips
Most betting chips depict 2 numbers. Hence, they offer 2 possibilities to bet on the right number. If you are right, you score the respective points depicted on the chip.
Final Scoring
Score all remaining betting chips on tiles at the beginning of the final scoring. For the scoring, the number of tiles placed until this point applies. Before flipping over the betting chips you decide which city or road you want to score. [2] Afterwards, you proceed with the final scoring as usual.
Clarifications for new landscape tiles
Betting offices end roads and separates fields. [3]
Other expansions
This section contains additional information about the interactions with other Carcassonne expansions.
The tile count considered when settling a bet is not modified by any expansions. You always consider the original number of tiles.
One or two triangular tiles in one square space are counted as one tile.
Each half of a double-sized tile is counted as a separate tile.
- Edge case: In C2 only, the long road segment on a Markets of Leipzig tile is counted as one single road segment even if it runs across the two halves of the double-sized tile.
A 2x2 tile is counted as 4 separate tiles.
Exp. 8 - Bridges, Castles & Bazaars
If on the same turn a bookmaker tile is placed, all its roads are completed and its city is converted into a castle, no betting chips are placed.
Building a castle on a bookmaker tile will not trigger the settlement of the bets placed on the tile. The betting chips will remain on the tile unless all its roads are already completed - these roads should have been completed when the tile was placed. Otherwise, the betting chips will be returned to their owners without scoring, since there is no valid road or city left on the tile to settle any bets.
A bet on a road only counts a German cathedral tile once even if several road segments on the cathedral tile are connected to the same road.
The Highway scoring tile does not affect the number of tiles to be considered when settling a bet on a road.
The Bad Neighborhood scoring tile does not affect the number of tiles to be considered when settling a bet on a city.

- ↑
This means that a number with the plus sign will consider a feature with the given number of tiles or any amount larger, that is:
- A betting chip with a 7+ will grant 7 points for a road or a city with 7 or more tiles.
- A betting chip with a 8+ will grant 8 points for a road or a city with 8 or more tiles.

During the final scoring, each player scores their remaining bets individually. If a bet is applicable to more than one road and/or city, the player will choose one of those features on their own (no collective decision is made per betting office in this case).
Question: In 3. Score points, the rules say: "If several features with the same betting chips involved are being scored within the same turn, the player whose turn it is decides which feature the chips are being scored for". If a similar situation happens at the end of the game (e.g. two incomplete cities share a betting office with bets), who makes this decision for the final scoring? Note that players may not reach an agreement by themselves due to opposed interests.
Answer: In this case, each player decides for themselves in the final scoring. (11/2022)
- ↑ The rule is that all the betting office places separate the fields. The graphics are not that clear, that’s right. But it is the same rule for all the tiles. (11/2022)
