![]() This is relevant when considering cloister scoring, city scoring, road scoring, Fairy protection, Dragon movement, the Plague token placement, the Flier movement, etc. When 2 Halfling tiles are side-by-side to create one square, they count as a single tile each. When a Halfling tile is beside a triangular gap, the Halfling tile counts as a single tile.įinal scoring example: BLUE scores 7 points for his cloister. If any player still has any unplayed triangular tiles in front of them, they may no longer play them. The game ends immediately at the end of the turn in which the last normal land tile is placed. In this case, a triangular tile scores as a normal landscape tile (1 point per tile surrounding the cloister.) If there are 2 triangular tiles in the same square “space”, each tile will count as 1 point when scoring a cloister. Scoring a feature Ĭloisters: When playing with Halflings, a cloister is considered to be completed even if one or more of its surrounding tiles are triangular tiles. Based on the existing rules and clarification snippets, players try to extrapolate some house rules to address any issues they may encounter, but no consensus can be reached. No more clarifications will be provided by HiG. Only partial rule clarifications, if any, have been provided in order to mitigate some of the issues detected. Undefined interaction with other expansions: The landscape discontinuities triangular gaps originate affect the mechanics and/or the scoring of several other expansions.Completed features: It is not clear in some cases whether a feature containing triangular gaps is considered completed and therefore can be scored: The original scoring rules (and later clarifications) only covered cloisters but no details have been provided for cities, roads or farms, where numerous questions have no official answer yet.Note 2 - Unclear basic rules: Due to the lack of clarity in the original rules and in later official clarifications up to date, triangular gaps pose a source of controversy affecting:.The scoring rules next reflect the new ones. If there are 2 triangular tiles in the same square “space”, they will count as 1 tile each when scoring a feature: road, city or cloister. New rules: a triangular tile scores as a normal landscape tile.If there are 2 triangular tiles in the same square “space”, they still only count as 1 tile (together) when scoring a feature: road, city or cloister. Original rules: a triangular tile scores as a normal landscape tile.Note 1 - Rule changes: After the original rules of 2014, the scoring rules for this expansion were changed in 10/2015.The triangular tiles are placed according to the usual rules they must be placed so that at least one of the shorter sides of the tile touches a previously placed tile (not corner-to-corner only) or the longer side touches the longer side of another triangular tile. On a player’s turn, he may play one of his 2 triangular tiles instead of drawing a normal tile. ![]() With the exception of the new rules used with this mini-expansion, all basic Carcassonne rules remain unchanged. Thus, each player has chosen 2 tiles to use during the game. All players then take a second tile in the same way. Starting with the player who will be last in turn order and moving counterclockwise, everyone takes one tile and places it face down in front of him. Once the players are more familiar with the new tiles, they may want to try the following variant: At the beginning of the game all triangular tiles are placed face up on the table. The players look at their tiles and return them face down to the table in front of them. For the first game with this mini-expansion, we suggest mixing all triangular tiles face down, and giving 2 to each player. With additional copies, more than 6 may play.
