As resourceful hobbyists, the players want to achieve the dream of flying, one of the oldest dreams of mankind, and try out their newly developed wings. Flight length and landing are somewhat unpredictable, however.

=== Placing a meeple === <!--T:14-->

Alternatively, the player may place a follower as a flier on a flying machine symbol to get the follower in the game. <ref>{{IconBook}} Any follower '''can''' be a flier, as the flying machine feature is not the final resting place for the follower. However, the final landing point must still be a valid feature for that follower (such as the mayor in a city, see below).</ref> <ref>{{IconBook}} A phantom '''can''' be a flier. However, if you first use a normal follower as a flier then the second figure (the Phantom) '''cannot''' also use the flying machine. The flying machine is a feature, so claiming the flying machine feature with the first figure prevents the Phantom from also claiming it. Thus, in this situation the phantom can only be placed on a road or on the field. (5/2013)</ref> The flying machine symbol has an arrow showing the direction (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) in which the follower will fly. Now, the player rolls the die. The die result is the distance that the follower will fly (1 to 3 tiles in a straight line).  

* The follower must only be deployed to an '''unfinished''' <ref>{{IconBook}} A player '''cannot''' place a flier on a structure that was finished by the tile that was just placed, as a feature is considered completed at the moment that a tile is placed, and the flier '''can''' only land on an unfinished feature. ({{Year|2012}})</ref> structure (road, city, or cloister). <ref>{{IconBook}} The flier '''can''' land on features outside the City of Carcassonne (but not in the City itself) and outside [[The Wheel of Fortune (1st edition)|The Wheel of Fortune]] (but not on the Wheel itself). The flier '''can''' also be deployed to the roads on the school tiles. (1/2013)</ref> <ref>{{IconBook}} A flier '''cannot''' land on a magic portal or any feature other than a road, city, or cloister. The exception is that an abbot '''can''' also land on a garden. (2/2013; updated 3/2015)</ref> <ref>{{IconBook}} The mayor '''can''' be a flier. However, the mayor can '''only''' land on an unfinished city. If an unfinished city is not available on the tile where the mayor lands, the mayor returns to the player’s supply. (2/2013)</ref> <ref>{{IconBook}} The abbot '''can''' be a flier. However, the abbot can '''only''' land on a cloister '''or''' a garden. (Yes, gardens are allowed despite the wording of the primary rule.) If an unfinished cloister or garden is not available on the tile where the abbot lands, the abbot returns to the player’s supply. (3/2015)</ref>

* The follower may be placed on a feature that is unoccupied <ref>{{IconBook}} The word “unoccupied” is an addition to the [[Rio Grande Games|'''RGG''']] version of the rules. (12/{{Year|2012}})</ref> or already '''occupied''' (either by one’s own follower or an opposing follower). For example, two followers can stand on a cloister or the same city segment.

If the tile with the flying machine completes a feature after placing the tile, the feature is scored as usual.

=== Final scoring === <!--T:24-->

At the end of the game, normal scoring for incomplete features applies.

In each mini, you will find a tile of the 7th mini expansion [[Crop Circles (1st edition)|Crop Circles]]. This expansion is playable with only a single tile, but it is best to play with all 6 tiles. <ref>{{IconWorld}} Note that the Crop Circle tiles included in the mini expansions are different from the tiles released in the initial Crop Circles expansion (referred to as "Crop Circles I").</ref>
