Abbey and Mayor Question from beginner
« on: November 19, 2016, 02:20:12 PM »
Hi, I'm new to Carcassonne, but today, bought the Abbey and Mayor expansion.  What I would like to know, should I mix the extra cards into the original pack or are they played separately?  I know that the river is played first, so, not sure about this one...

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum!

The Abbey and Mayor tiles are mixed in with the remaining tiles with the exception of the abbey tiles. Each player has one abbey tile in front of them at their disposal to play once during the game instead of drawing a tile from the supply as long as conditions for placing the abbey are met (namely, that the spot you want to put it in is surrounded by four tiles orthogonally). As you said, if you're using the river, all 12 river tiles are placed first.

I hope you enjoy the expansion! It's generally considered to be one of the best large expansions.

Thanks so much!!  I have only played it twice, but my kids love it and I think we will get a lot of use from it.... A shame the rules are in Norwegian, but... I will find them online for sure!!
