This page is under construction

The Signposts was released by Hans im Glück in 2021.

With this mini-expansion you can score additional points when you finish a street. To do this, you have to steer the course of the road as the signposts show you.

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

Expansion symbol
  • 12 new land tiles, each depicting 2 of 3 different types of signposts:
Signpost tiles
Signpost symbols

Rules

Preparation

Shuffle the 12 tiles of this mini expansion together with the other land tiles.

Gameplay

1. Placing a tile

Draw a land tile and place it according to the rules of the base game.

2. Placing a meeple

You may place a meeple on the tile just placed. [1]

3. Scoring a feature

When completing a road, check if there are signposts next to it. If that is the case, in addition to the points of the road you also score points for each signpost pointing in the right direction.

There are three types of signposts: left, straight, right.
Example 1: Tile with 2 types of signposts: straight and right

For a signpost to be pointing in the right direction, the following requirements have to be fulfilled:

  • The course of the road on the next tile has to follow the direction indicated by the signpost (left turn, right turn or straight ahead).
  • The road must not end on the first tile after the signpost.

How to count the signposts:

  • Count the signposts showing the correct course of the road on the road you want to score.
  • Now count how many different types of signposts are pointing in the right direction on your road.

You may score:

  • Only one 1 type of signpost: 1 point for each correct signpost.
  • 2 different types of signposts: 2 points for each correct signpost.
  • All 3 different types of signposts: 3 points for each correct signpost.

Signposts, that do not show the correct course of the road, do not score points.

Example 2: In this example, 5 signposts point in the right direction Signposts C2 Symbol Yes.png. The rules for the roundabout are as follows: If a signpost points in one of the two directions of the roundabout, it is showing the correct course of the road (here: the blue 1 and the red 2 arrow).
Three arrows are not correct Signposts C2 Symbol No.png. Three are pointing in the wrong direction 3, 4 and/or the road already ends on the next tile 4, 5.
You complete your road by placing the tile and score 9 points.
For the 5 correct signposts Signposts C2 Symbol Yes.png, which include all 3 different types, you score (5×3) 15 extra points.
Final scoring

At the end of the game you receive 1 point for each signpost on your roads, pointing in the right direction. The different types of signposts do not matter at this point.

  1. ↑ Interpretation from the Community You cannot place a meeple on an arrow. The arrow symbols cannot be claimed or scored separately from the roads on the tile.
