General / Rule Books

« on: March 01, 2023, 11:26:09 AM »

Hi Everyone -- glad to be back. We had a flood crisis in our home and though I saved all the expansion boxes and rules books, they were destroyed in the waters. I still have most of the tiles, but I was hoping that I could download the rule books for each of the expansions. Does anyone know of any place I could download a pdf of the rules books for the expansions--in particular, the first six? Thanks for your help! -- J Greystone

Okay -- thanks everyone -- that's all very clear.
I messed those rules up bad. 
So much for listening to "friends" playing in the same game.  LOL

Official Rules / Scoring Cities with Mayors and Cathedrals (involves two expansions)

« on: March 21, 2016, 12:45:11 PM »

Hi All -- sorry if these questions have been asked before. We are new to the expansions--"Mayor and Abbey" and "Inns and Cathedrals". Okay here the questions...and thanks so much in advance.

1. I believe that the rules for the mayor being present in a city state that the number of shields in the city determines the number of points awarded per tile in the city. So, if there are 5 shields, then each tile counts 5 points, for example. Is that correct?

2. For a city that contains a mayor, how many points are awarded for each shield? Does it remain at 2 points per shield for the completed city, or do the shields get an increased value as well?

3. What is the scoring convention if a city contains both a mayor and a cathedral?

General / Carcassonne without the Basic Game?

« on: May 20, 2015, 07:20:34 PM »

I apologize if this question has been asked before, and it's an odd one, but here goes:
We really enjoy playing with many expansions -- Inns, Traders, Princess, Mayor, Castles, Bazaars, Hills and Sheep etc. and some of the mini expansions. We like the idea that different tiles offer different activities in the game. Makes it more interesting.

The problem is, of course, that when all these expansions are included, along with the basic game, there are simply too many tiles to be able to finish a game within a reasonable time frame. So, I'm sure that the tiles included with the basic game are engineered to make a "complete game," but, I'm wondering if anyone has figured out if leaving out the original 72 tiles and just playing all the expansion tiles is still a balanced, well-engineered game...if it's still the "same Carcassonne?" 

Any thoughts on this are appreciated.  Thanks

Official Rules / Two Scoring Rules on Castles

« on: May 10, 2015, 10:37:51 PM »

By "castle" I'm referring to the "fiefdom" created on 2 semi-circular city titles--and I apologize if this is an obvious question...

1) If I control a castle AND I am also the person completing the first structure in the "fiefdom" of that castle -- do I score the points twice?
That is, once for the structure and once for the castle?

2) If another player controls two (or more) castles and a structure is completed in the "fiefdom" of each of those castles, does that player score the structure twice, that is, for each castle in whose fiefdom the structure is completed?

Thanks for any help.
