Set-up game with Wheel of Fortune instead of normal starting tile. (Place pig on Fortune.)

When a player doesn’t place a follower on his turn, he may place a follower on an empty space surrounding the Wheel of Fortune. When the pig lands on that section, each follower earns 3 points. (If a section has two spaces and only one is occupied, the player earns all 6 points.)

When a tile with the Wheel Symbol is drawn, the pig moves clockwise the number of spaces indicated on the tile, the Wheel of Fortune is scored, then each player takes points and returns scored followers to their supply:

Fortune: 3 points, only to the player who moved the pig.
Tax: 1 point /knight + 1 point /pennant.
Famine: 1 point / farmer for each adjacent completed city.
Storm: 1 point / unused follower.
Inquisition: 2 points /monk.
Plague: Return a follower from game board to supply. (Followers on Wheel excluded.)

Released with new artwork by Anne Pätzke, a new cover by Chris Quilliams, and revised rules.

A road with an Inn score 2 points per segment when completed. A city with a Cathedral scores 1 additional point for each tile and each shield when completed.
Big Followers are played like regular followers. They count as two followers when multiple players are competing for a feature.

At the end of the game, an incomplete road with an Inn is worth no points and an incomplete city with a Cathedral is worth no points

A city with a Trade Good symbol has cloth, grain or wine. The person that completes a city with trade good symbols takes those tokens. At the end of the game, the player with the most tokens of each type receives 10 points.

Builders can be deployed on a uncompleted road or city where you already have a follower. The next time you add a tile to this feature, you draw another tile and. (Max 1 extra turn per round.)

Pigs can be deployed on a field where you already have at least one Farmer. At the end of the game, you will score one additional point per city for this field. (You only get additional points if you won the field.)

Each turn, you may move the Fairy instead of deploying a follower. The Dragon cannot move to a tile protected by the Fairy. At the beginning of your turn, you earn 1 point if the Fairy is on a tile with one of your followers. When scoring features, you earn 3 points if the Fairy is on a tile where a follower is scored.

Playing a tile with a Volcano causes the Dragon to move to that tile.
Playing a tile with a Dragon symbol causes the Dragon to move 6 spaces without revisiting a tile. The player who played the tile moves the Dragon first. The game figures on each tile visited by the Dragon are returned to their owner. (If drawn before the Volcano, it is set aside.)
Playing a tile with the Magic Gate symbol allows you to deploy a follower to an unclaimed feature on any tile in play.
Playing a tile with the Princess symbol allows you to remove a follower of your choice from the city attached to the Princess.

With 2 players, each player starts with 10 tower pieces. (3=9, 4=7, 5=6, 6=5.)
Tiles with a Tower Foundation on them are played like any other tile.
Each turn, you may place a tower piece on a tower instead of deploying a follower. You may take a follower hostage which is within (n) tiles of the tower where n is the tower’s height. (horizontal or vertical only.)
To prevent a player from adding to a tower, you can put a follower on a tower.
When two players have each other’s hostages, they are swapped back.

Each player gets one Abbey Tile. Instead of drawing a tile, you may play your Abbey in a hole in the game with a tile on all four sides. If you place a follower on the Abbey, it is scored like a Cloister. The Abbey completes adjacent features when placed.
Mayors can only be placed in cities. Their strength is determined by the number of pennants in the city.
Barns are played on the intersection of 4 fields. The field is scored immediately. No more followers can be placed on this field.
Wagons are placed on roads, cities or cloisters. (not fields) When scored, The wagon can move immediately to an unclaimed feature adjacent to its current location, and connected by road.

This expansion is a compilation of Carcassonne: King & Scout, Carcassonne: The Count of Carcassonne, Carcassonne: The River II and Carcassonne: The Cult. It was originally published only by Hans im Glück (Rio Grande Games never picked it up). However, in later years Z-Man Games published it in English but translated the German Konsorten as "Robber" when a better choice would have been Cult, Crowd, Culprits, etc. (Apparently they thought Konsorten referred to the robber-baron token rather than the shrines?)

After playing a Fair tile, a catapult round begins. The player who played the Fair tile selects which type of catapult round is played.
Knock out returns followers touched by the token to their owner.
Seduction allows the current player to swap the nearest opponents follower with a follower from their supply.
Target Hurling awards 5 points to the one player who lands their token closest to the Fair tile which was just played.
Catch awards 5 points to the launcher if the player to their left fails to catch the token. If it is caught, the catcher receives 5 points.

Each player also receives 2 castles (3 with four or fewer players) which can be placed atop a just finished "little city" (4-point, circular city). The follower is transferred to the castle (or a player may place a follower on an unclaimed castle) and the castle scores for the first adjacent feature that is completed (it does not score for the city). Adjacent features include the two tiles on which the castle rests, as well as the two tiles next to the castle (touching corners with it). Followers still on castles at game end score no points.

Bazaars begin when a player places a Bazaar tile. The game immediately pauses and an auction for tiles starts. The active player lays face up an amount of tiles equal to the number of players. The player to the active player's right chooses a tile and offers a bid for it in points. The other players, going clockwise, then get one chance to bid higher for that tile. The highest bidder takes the tile and pays the auctioneer the amount of points, noting the difference on the score board. If the auctioneer still wants the tile, they may purchase it for the highest bidder's price and pay that player that amount of points. If there are no higher bidders than the auctioneer, the auctioneer simply subtracts the points and places the tile. The next player then becomes the auctioneer and another auction takes place. Each player can only purchase one tile. When there is only one tile left, the remaining player receives that tile for free. Players then place their new tiles, beginning with the player who was the first auctioneer.

Whenever a tile featuring a hill icon is added to the playing area, it is placed on top of another randomly drawn tile, elevating it above the playing surface and creating a hill. Hill tiles act as tie-breakers: if two or more players occupy the same feature equally (a "shared majority"), but one of the tied players has a follower standing on a hill tile, that player will have an advantage over the others, and will score all the points for that feature.

Vineyards are designed to increase the importance of monasteries. Each vineyard tile placed around a monastery adds three points to that monastery's score. However, these bonus points only count if the monastery is completed, so players are more likely to sabotage their opponents' monasteries in order to prevent them from being finished.

1. Put the Spring tile in the center of the table. Put the Lake aside. Shuffle the 10 remaining River tiles.
2. Starting with the first player, draw a River tile and add it to the river. No U-turns are allowed. (When you play a river tile, you may play a follower on the features as usual.)
3. When all river tiles have been played, the next player places the Lake tile at the end of the river and can place a follower as usual. The game continues with the next player.

The King is awarded to the player who completes the largest city. At the end of the game, the player with control of the King gets 1 point for every completed city.
The Robber Baron is awarded to the player who completes the largest road. At the end of the game, the player with control of the Robber Baron gets 1 point for every completed road.
(To take the King or Robber Baron from another player, you must complete a city/road which is at least one tile larger than the previous largest city/road.)

At the beginning of the game, the 12 tile City of Carcassonne is built, replacing the normal starting tile. The Count begins on the Castle.
When you play a tile causing another player to score points while you do not, you may place a follower on a specific quarter of the City of Carcassonne and you may move the Count. The quarter dictates where the followers can be redeployed. (Cathedral to Cloister, Castle to City, Market to Farm & Blacksmith to Road.)
When scoring features, players may redeploy one or more followers from the appropriate quarter to the feature being scored unless the Count is in that quarter. This occurs before calculating the majority.

1. Put the Spring tile in the center of the table. Put the Lake & Fork tiles aside & shuffle the River tiles.
2. The first player plays the Fork tile and may place a follower as usual.
3. The next player draws a river tile, adds it to the river & may place a follower as usual. No U-turns allowed.
4. When all river tiles have been played, the next player plays the Lake with a City tile at one end of the river. The next player places the Lake with a Volcano tile. (This player plays the Dragon and draws the first normal tile when using that expansion.)

After playing a tile containing a Crop Circle, you must either add a follower to a feature where you already have a follower, or remove a follower from a feature. Each other player must take the same action as you.
Club symbol affects thieves on roads.
Rake symbol affects farmers on fields.
Shield symbol affects knights on cities.

Each player receives one Phantom follower in their color which can be placed like a usual follower but at the same time as a normal follower placement. In this way, two features, rather than the usual one, can be claimed by the same player on the same turn on the same tile. When the feature is scored, the phantom follower is returned to the player to be reused.

If a player reveals a tile with the Celebration symbol, they place the tile as usual. Now they must decide to either:
• Place one follower on the tile per the usual rules; or
• Remove one of their own followers from the board and return it to their supply.

The player can also choose to do neither.
Imprisoned followers (4th Expansion - The Tower) may not be returned to the supply using the Celebration feature.

Place the tiles as per normal, then the player places their robber figure on the score track next to the score marker of any other player. The next player who has not yet placed their robber also placer a robber on the scoring track beside another player's score marker. Whenever a player moves their score marker and there is a robber beside it, the player with the robber earns half the points of the score marker and then removes their robber. The player who earned the original points retains all their points. Robbers do not earn points from another player's robbery. If a robber earns points, any robbers attached to that player's score marker move with it and do not score for the robbery. If there are two score markers on the same space as a robber and both score, the robber's owner can choose whom to rob.

The rules are identical to the first Corn Circles expansion, but the tile artwork is completely different. This expansion cannot be obtained separately, but only as part of the six Carcassonne Minis (one tile in each box).

A new starting tile divides the playing area into two areas: the north and the south.

A city is besieged when a city segment with a siege is added to it.
A knight may escape a besieged city at the end of a player’s turn if the siege tile borders a Cloister or Abbey on any side. (even diagonally)
When a besieged city is completed, each tile scores only 1 point. (2 points with a cathedral.)
An incomplete besieged city scores no points. Completed besieged cities are worth double points for farmers.

The cloister tiles in the base game are replaced with German Monasteries. Players may deploy a follower as a monk, under the original rules, or deploy a follower as an abbot. An abbot remains on the tile until the end of the game, at which point the monastery is scored 1 point per tile in all four directions (including the monastery itself) until the edge of the playing area or a gap in the tiles is reached.

The Spring Tile replaces the spring included in the River. The road clearly separates the field on either side of the spring.

This expansion does not add any additional rules to the basic game.

Common House Rule for Pig Herd Tile: At the end of the game, the player that has control of the field containing the Pig Herd scores one additional point per adjacent city.

A city is besieged when a city segment with the Cathar symbol is added to it.
A knight may escape a besieged city at the end of a player’s turn if the Cathar tile borders a Cloister on any side. (even diagonally)
When a besieged city is completed, each tile scores only 1 point. (2 points with a cathedral.)
An incomplete besieged city scores no points. Completed besieged cities are worth double points for farmers.

When you play a tile with a Cult, you may deploy a follower on it. The follower is called a Heretic.
If a Cloister and a Cult are placed next to each another, (even diagonally) the Monk and the Heretic compete to finish their features first. Whichever is completed first scores the usual 9 points and the other earns no points.
If neither is completed at the end of the game, both are scored as usual.

Each player takes a pair of Tunnel Chips. (With 2 players each take three pairs, 3 players each take two pairs).
Once per turn, each player may place one of their tunnel chips on any unoccupied tunnel in play.
At the end of the game, each tunnel with a colored marker will connect with the other marker of the same color. Tunnels without a marker or matching marker are incomplete.

Whenever an outbreak tile is played, a number token is placed on the tile. Beginning the next turn, fleas begin to spread out from the outbreak (or previous outbreaks) causing followers to flee or be removed from the board. Each turn, one of a player's followers can, as a free action, move to another location on the same feature.

If all the unused flea chits are used up, the lowest number is turned over, neutralizing that outbreak tile. Any fleas connected to that tile (and only that tile) are turned over to their inactive side. Those fleas are then removed one-by-one and placed adjacent to active fleas and/or outbreaks. If an active flea comes into contact with an inactive flea, it becomes active again, as well as any fleas attached to it. Outbreaks are neutralized as the game moves on. If there are no inactive fleas left, then active fleas are moved to a new tile.

Each player gets an equal number of these tokens at the beginning of the game, and can place them instead of followers to give bonus points when landscape features are scored.
