Please note that WikiCarpedia is not responsible for the content of the links provided. The listed expansions are subject to the regulations of the corresponding websites.
In general, however: The use of the fan expansions for commercial purposes is not allowed. The Fan-Expansions may only be produced for personal use and may not be sold at any time. This also explicitly includes the passing on at cost price.
General info and comments
The Courier fan-expansion was released by Carcassonne CZ forum members Mati (CarcCZ) (CarcC), Bumsakalaka (CarcC, CarcCZ) and Snearone (CarcC).
There are many abandoned roads, towns or monasteries and gardens. The Courier brings good news to those who decide to improve these places.
The tiles and rules files are available here, expansion is also playable only with Courier figure:
- C2 version will be available on Carcassonne CZ forum (please register to access):
Contents
- 1× Courier
- 6× landscape tiles with a letter symbol (optional)
Tile with letter symbol
Rules
Preparation
Shuffle the new landscape tiles in with the rest of the tiles and stack them normally. Place the Courier to the side for now - it doesn't belong to any player.
Place the Courier to starting tile.
Gameplay
1. Placing a tile
2. Placing a meeple
You may place a meeple according to the usual rules.
3. Scoring a feature
The Currier figure and a letter symbol does not affect scoring of finished features.
4. End of turn - The Courier Move - Receiving a thank-you message
If the player's meeple, placed in this turn, meets all of the following conditions:
- stands at the end of the turn in an unfinished feature such as a city, road, monastery, or garden
- stands on a tile with the Courier OR stands horizontally or vertically to the tile on which the Courier stands,
then the Courier figure is moved to that meeple and the player receives a thank-you message from the Courier for the unfinished feature, which score you points as in the final scoring of the game.
A farmer placed in a field cannot receive a message from the Courier because he is on a feature that cannot be completed and scored during the game.
Rules history
- * 03/2023 Allowed to play expansion only with the Courier figure without expansion tiles, which are optional now.
- * 03/2023 Fixed conditions for receiving a thank-you message and a new rule to put the Courier figure back into play when it is eaten by a Dragon and a No tiles variant is played.
Other Expansions
When playing No tile variant place the Courier on very first tile placed on board.
If more than one Meeple (e.g. Normal Meeple, Large Meeple, Abbot, Mayor, Wagon, Ringmaster, Phantom, ...) has been placed or moved in a turn and meets the condition for receiving a thank-you message from the Courier, then the Courier moves to whichever Meeple was placed or moved first, and that player receives a thank-you message from the Courier, even if this player is not the active player.
The Courier is moved even if the Meeple meets the condition for receiving a thank-you message and would score 0 points, e.g. an incomplete city with a Cathedral 
Inns & Cathedrals.
A Meeple placed on a feature that can be completed and scored during the game can receive a message from the Courier.
Also, a Meeple moved on the game board from one feature to another can receive a message from the Courier.
A Meeple placed on a larger tile (double tile, etc) can meet the condition for receiving a thank-you message when at least one part of a feature on tile where a Meeple is placed is horizontally or vertically to the tile on which the Courier stands.
A Meeple placed on a feature that cannot be completed or scored during the game cannot receive a message from the Courier.
A meeple moved on the same feature during the game cannot receive a message from the Courier.
Support figures (e.g. Builder, Pig, Shepherd, etc.) and neutral figures (e.g. Fairy, Dragon, etc.) cannot receive a message from the Courier.
