We decided to go back to the basics and for more fun (and less strategic decisions):

No stealing of eggs from other players (you have to have enough eggs in the supply)

Easter Egg Nest: The bunny don't enter the nest. When a player completes the nine-tile grid surrounding a nest tile the player earns 2 eggs, he don't get any points. All players get 1 egg for every follower on the nine-tiles. (Only 1 egg for the big follower, 1 for wagon and mayor, 1 for the shepherd, no egg for builder, pig and barn.)

Easter Bunny Tiles: When a Bunny tile is placed the bunny figure must be immediately entered on the tile. The current player
shall take his normal turn including moving wood and scoring. Followers may be deployed on the tile on the regular features but may not be deployed on the bunny icon. After scoring for the turn is resolved, the bunny’s movement begins.
Every player - in turn order - moves the bunny one time. A move is a given number of hops. The number of hops is determined by the roll of the die (from the flyer). Every follower on a tile the bunny hops on gets one egg.

The player with most eggs gets 10 points, the player with second most gets 5 points. If there is a tie, all players with the same number of eggs get the points.

Yes, I was going to say...those are the more advance play rules that I helped with. I thought we went back to the more basic rules.

Is there an English translation for the basic rules?

If one eats during the game still gets the points? Just a wrap?

Fritz_Spinne · « **Reply #18 on:** April 16, 2014, 06:41:54 AM »

Only chocolate eggs present at final scoring are counted!

Yet there is no english translation, might come soon, if all can help.

Sorry, if you eat them you lose them. Wrappers don't count

The trick is to get your opponent's eggs while they're not looking

Here are some links to other websides - which are also making publicity for our Carcassonne community.

The publicity at HiG has become a great reaction at the German internet scene for games.

I tried to translate the rules in English. Help for good English language etc. is welcome.

The Easter Bunny in Carcassonne

At Eastern old practices have survived in Carcassonne: As a sign of fertility the Easter Bunny delivers coloured eggs you have to find in their nests.
Extra pieces
22 new tiles, 10 with Easter Egg Nest and 12 with an Easter Bunny icon
1 Easter-Bunny figure
A lot of Easter eggs, made from chocolate.
6 sided die with pips 1, 2 & 3 (from the mini expansion The Flier)

Expansion rules

Overview
The Easter Bunny hops across the land delivering his Easter eggs. Players attempt to collect Easter eggs by completing features or finding them on farms at game end. The Easter egg nest is completed like a cloister and also yields Easter eggs. The Easter eggs have point value at game end.

Preparation
This expansion is intended to be played with the base game and any expansions. The 22 new nest tiles are to be mixed in with the base tiles. Keep the supply of Easter eggs, the Easter Bunny and the die in a nearby general supply area.

Game rules
The new tiles shall be placed according to the normal rules of the game.

Tile with Easter Egg Nest Tile with Easter Bunny (The player immediately places the Easter Bunny on the tile.)

The Easter Egg Nest
When a player completes the nine-tile grid surrounding a nest there is a scoring for the Easter Egg Nest after the regular scoring-phase for the turn. It may be that a nest tile fills a hole and scores instantly.
In this scoring the player completing the Easter Egg Nest shall earn 2 eggs. All players get 1 egg for every follower on the nine-tile grid.

When an Easter Bunny tile is placed the Bunny figure must be immediately entered on the tile. If it is not currently on the board then it is moved there from the storage area. If it is currently on the board then it is picked up and relocated to the just placed Easter-Bunny tile. While on the board the bunny is not on any particular feature. The bunny is a neutral figure and his placement is in addition to any wood move.
The placement of an Easter Bunny tile triggers the movement of the Easter Bunny. The current player shall take his normal turn including moving wood and scoring. Followers may be deployed on the tile on the regular features but may not be deployed on the bunny icon. After scoring for the turn is resolved, the bunny’s movement is resolved. Thereafter the next player in turn order takes his turn.

The movement of the Easter Bunny
Starting with the current player all players in turn order throw the die and move the Bunny as many tiles (hops) as indicated by the result of the die roll. The bunny hops from tile to tile orthogonally and may not hop diagonally.
The Bunny may sidestep, he may hop in more than one direction on a single move. He may not hop on the tile he has started. He may not hop on places where no tile had been placed before. It is possible for the bunny to get caught in a dead end situation as he may not be able to back track on certain tiles during the move. In such a case the bunny movement round ends there. If the Bunny hops on a tile with at least one follower the players get one Easter egg for every follower on that tile, the followers remain on the tile.

Final scoring
In the final scoring there are no eggs for followers of the nine-tile grid surrounding of an Easter Egg Nest. The Easter Bunny is no issue for final scoring.
The player with most eggs gets 10 points, the player with second most gets 5 points. If there is a tie, all players with the same number of eggs get the points.

Warning!!!: Only Easter eggs not eaten do count for the final scoring.J After the final scoring all eggs shall be eaten at one’s own risk.

Adaption: If you don’t own the die from the Mini-Expansion “The Flier” we recommend ordering it soon.J Also you could use a regular six-sided die and give the Bunny 1 hop at the result of 1 and 2, 2 hops at the result of 3 and 4 and 3 hops at the result of 5 and 6.

Interaction with other expansions

1. Expansions “Inns & Cathedrals”
The Big Follower simply gets one egg.

2. Expansion “Traders & Builders”
The Builder and the Pig don’t get an egg.

3. Expansion “The Princess & the Dragon”
The Dragon eats the Bunny (the dragon would not miss out on Bunny). Bunny and Fairy may be placed on the same tile. If the nine-tile grid surrounding an Easter Egg Nest is completed with a Dragon tile, the scoring of the Easter Egg Nest is after the Dragon movement.

4. Expansion “The Tower”
The Tower don’t take prisoner of the Bunny. A follower on a tower also gets an egg.

5. Expansion “Abbey & Mayor”
The Wagon and the Mayor get an egg, the Barn doesn’t get one.

6. Expansion “Count, King & Robber”
A follower must not be taken from the City of Carcassonne for the scoring of an Easter Egg Nest. A Heretic on a shrine gets an egg, too.

7. Expansion “The Catapult”
If the nine-tile grid surrounding an Easter Egg Nest is completed with an Catapult tile, the scoring of the Easter Egg Nest is after the Catapult round.

8. Expansion “Bridges, Castles & Bazaars”
A follower on a bridge gets one egg, too. Completing an Easter Egg Nest doesn’t trigger the scoring for a castle. The Bazaar round follows the scoring of an Easter Egg Nest, if it was completed by a bazaar tile.

9. Expansion “Hills & Sheep”
Although he is no follower, the shepherd gets an egg! Hills and vineyards doesn’t affect the distribution of eggs.

Mini 4 “The Gold Mines”
The completion of an Easter Egg Nest doesn’t trigger the distribution of Gold.

Mini 5 “Mage & Witch”
Mage and Witch don’t affect the distribution of eggs, the Bunny may stand with one of them on the same tile.

it's my impression or the official rules of Ostern in Carcassonne are a little different from the original "Easter Festival"?

Fritz_Spinne · « **Reply #24 on:** April 19, 2014, 09:13:48 AM »

The rules of the "Easter Festival" and "the "Easter Bunny" are very different.

When I had the first idea for an expansion with "Anti-Dragon" and took the Easter-Bunny for this task it was a fun-expansion just to distribute the eggs. Then some authors here made it to an serious expansion with more strategic tasks etc.
For the cooperation we took the basic ideas but made it a bit simpler, so it's easy enough for all players who had never played fan-expansions. Also in the german forum we made new graphics.

If you want some more strategic fun, play with the rules of Easter-Festival here from the downloads!

I just have seen your original rules... but in reality I prefer the new one

yes, is more simple...

ah... I forgot... anyway... really good work!

Here's my suggestion for the English translation:

Crud. Special character somewhere.

Edit: fixed it (above).

Also -- under the Easter Egg Nest, does each player get 1 egg for every one of his own followers on the 9-tile grid, or for total followers of everybody on the grid? That should be clarified in the translation.
