{{IconWorld}} The [[Rio_Grande_Games|'''RGG''']]  edition of the [[Variants#Big Box|Big Box]] states only that “whenever a player places no follower on his turn, he may, instead, place the fairy.” However, it still seems reasonable to conclude that fairy placement is an alternative to placing a pig, builder, tower piece, or other figure, even if they are not explicitly mentioned.

This is a notable change in the rules, especially in respect of a previously available FAQ which clearly stated that the fairy could only be moved when the player relinquished the deployment of afollower—and since no follower could be deployed when a volcano tile is placed, the fairy could not be moved either. That ruling has obviously been overturned, since the rules now state that the fairy may be moved when a volcano tile is placed. Indeed, the rules now say that a player may move the fairy whenever he or she does not place a follower. Thus, the player no longer has to “choose” not to deploy a follower—in any case when a follower is not or cannot be deployed, the fairy may be moved. This is in fact consistent with another FAQ, which stated that the fairy may still be moved if the player has run out of followers.

* If [[The Festival (1st edition)|The Festival]] is used to remove a follower, the fairy cannot be moved, as an action was still taken in the '''Move Wood''' or '''Deploy a Figure''' phase. (5/2014)

* Because [[Traders and Builders (1st edition)|builders and pigs]] are not followers, it is not possible to move the fairy next to either of them, as the fairy can only stand next to a follower.

* The fairy '''can''' be moved to a tile where the only follower on the tile is on [[The Tower (1st edition)|a tower]].

* [[The Phantom (1st edition)|A phantom]] may still be placed after movement of the fairy. (12/2014)

* When a tile with a volcano is placed, the player may '''not''' deploy a follower (including [[The Phantom (1st edition)|the Phantom]]), [[Traders and Builders (1st edition)|a builder, or a pig]] '''to the tile'''. Thus, the player '''may''' place [[Abbey and the Mayor (1st edition)|the barn]] (since that is not fully on the tile), play [[The Tower (1st edition)|a tower]] piece, deploy a follower to [[The Wheel of Fortune (1st edition)|The Wheel of Fortune]], or move the fairy. [[Little Buildings (1st edition)|Little Buildings]] are not figures and could be placed. [[Bridges, Castles and Bazaars (1st edition)|A bridge]] can also be placed as necessary.

* The dragon cannot move into the [[Count, King and Robber (1st edition)|City of Carcassonne]]. Note that the dragon '''can''' still move onto tiles that include the City of Carcassonne, treating the landscape areas as normal tiles, but it must stay outside the City itself. Thus only figures outside the City are eaten, and those inside (including the Count) are safe. (12/2013)

* Builders, pigs, barns, and shepherds '''cannot''' use the magic portal, as they are not followers. (updated 3/2015)

* Any follower (including mayor, wagon, and abbot) '''can''' use a magic portal, but the feature that the follower is ultimately deployed to must be legal for that follower. (updated 3/2015)

* A Phantom '''can''' use a magic portal. However, because the magic portal counts as a feature, a wooden follower and the Phantom '''cannot''' BOTH use the magic portal on a turn – the first follower placed on the magic portal claims the magic portal, and no follower (including the Phantom) can be placed on a claimed feature. (1/2013)

* A follower '''cannot''' be deployed to the City of Carcassonne or to [[The Wheel of Fortune (1st edition)|The Wheel of Fortune]] via a magic portal. The magic portal only allows followers to be deployed to tiles that can be legally occupied according to the usual rules, as if the player had just placed the tile in question. The City of Carcassonne and [[The Wheel of Fortune (1st edition)|The Wheel of Fortune]] are occupied according to different rules. (confirmed 5/2013)

* Followers '''can''' use the magic portal to be deployed on features '''outside''' the City of Carcassonne, on features '''outside''' of [[The Wheel of Fortune (1st edition)|The Wheel of Fortune]], and on the features on the school tiles (outside the school itself). (1/2013)
