IMO, the 2x2 starting tile is in fact 4 square, normal tile. Right?

The key is the missing lines between the square spaces. This is a long-standing discussion with HiG as I understood from @kettlefish. The German castle tiles had a line splitting the tile into two halves in the beginning, but it was later removed on purpose.

No lines means one tile, unlike Count of Carcassonne or Wheel of fortune.

If you check the inner part of the city of Carcassonne or the Wheel of Fortune, they have no lines. Just the outer part of the tiles. ;)

Is this correct?
  • 1 City of Carcassonne tile - 6 normal tiles
  • 1 City of Leipzig tile - 1 double tile
  • 20th Anniversary River starting tile - 1 double tile
  • 1 German castle tile - 1 double tile
  • Ghosts, castles and cemeteries starting tile(s) - 4 normal tiles

The City of Carcassonne can be either 12 normal tiles or 1 giant tile in C1, or two 2x3 tiles in C2.

Leipzig is 4 double tiles.

There are six German castle double tiles.

The starting tile from Mists is one 2x2 tile.

In other words...

If the dragon is placed on the 2x2 tile, it eats only from 1/4 of that 2x2 tile? Or from 4/4 from that 2x2 tile?

Do you must place a ghost if you place the above tile (not the one marked with red)? Before answering, please note the following wording of the rules:

If you draw a tile with mist on it, you now have the option of bringing ghosts into play. It all depends on how you place the tile:
  • Expand the mist: You place a tile with mist on it such that at least 1 side expands an existing mist bank. You must then add 1 ghost to another player's meeple on the game board. It doesn't matter if you finish the mist bank. You just have to expand it.
  • Limit the mist: You place a tile with mist on it such that at least 1 misty side is placed next to an existing, mist-free tile. In this case, you must then add 1 ghost to one of your own meeples on the game board.
  • It can happen that you simultaneously expand one mist bank while limiting another. In that case you must first add 1 ghost to another player's meeple on the game board, after which you must add 1 ghost to one of your own meeples on the game board.

This is not answer to last question but:
@Meepledrone you are in Esset.


By Exp 11 rules, there are two options with tile with mist.
1. You expand existing mist
2. You limit exisitng mist.


But we know, that you can place mist tile, which is not expandion existing mist, it is not limit existing mist, because it is creating ne mist.


What happend then? This need clarrification!

If the mist is neither expanded nor limited, you do not need to place ghosts.

I see, the beuty of that rule is here:


`you now have the option of bringing ghosts into play`


so it is not mandatory.


Cool :D

In the image posted by me, it is limited, but it is limited by a non-misty tile... This is the question, in fact:

If you limit the mist by placing a non-misty tile, do you have to place a ghost?

This is the only option.

The rules clearly state that only misty tiles cause the placement of ghosts.

The dragon will eat all the meeples on the 2x2 tile. The sames as when landing on a double-sized tile it will eat all the meeples on the tile except those in a special area such as the inner part of the city of Leipzig.

But the dragon still considers each occupied space for movement, correct?
