The [[Rio_Grande_Games|'''RGG''']] edition of the 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. | 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. | ||

A player who draws and places a volcano tile must immediately move the dragon to this tile from its current location - this may be at the side of the table, or on an already placed tile. The player may '''not''' deploy a follower (or any other figure, except the dragon) <ref> | A player who draws and places a volcano tile must immediately move the dragon to this tile from its current location - this may be at the side of the table, or on an already placed tile.

The [[Rio_Grande_Games|'''RGG''']] edition contradicts the sequence described in the [[Hans_im_Glück|'''HiG''']] edition and the FAQ: “If placement of the tile completes a feature, it is scored as normal. Then, the game is briefly interrupted while the Dragon moves.” So, according to the [[Rio_Grande_Games|'''RGG''']] edition of the Big Box, dragon movement occurs after scoring; according to [[Hans_im_Glück|'''HiG''']] it occurs before scoring. The [[Z Man Games|'''ZMG''']] edition follows the [[Hans_im_Glück|'''HiG''']] rule and specifically adds that the interruption is “before scoring.” (5/2013) | The [[Rio_Grande_Games|'''RGG''']] edition contradicts the sequence described in the [[Hans_im_Glück|'''HiG''']] edition and the FAQ: “If placement of the tile completes a feature, it is scored as normal.

Followers in castles ([[Bridges, Castles and Bazaars (1st edition)|Bridges, Castles and Bazaars]]) are safe from the dragon because they are not on a single tile. This clarification was first added to the Big Box 3 version of the rules.

This is a change to the original rules, which stated that the princess '''must''' remove a knight, unless there was no knight in the city at all. The change, first seen in Big Box 2, brings the procedure in line with that of the tower: both '''may''' remove a follower if the player wishes. The [[Rio_Grande_Games|'''RGG''']] and [[Z Man Games|'''ZMG''']] editions of the rules maintain the rule that princesses '''must''' remove a follower.

A clarification indicating that either a big or normal follower could be removed is specifically included in the Big Box 1-3 rules. This constitutes a slight rule change from the original rules – according to an early FAQ, the big follower could only be removed from a city when there were no other knights. A big follower can now be removed from the city just like any other.
