And check allowed options.
None of them moved both Left and Middle ferries.

Anyway, by this rule: Is the option 3 allowed?

This was solved years ago, which is described on WiCa:
https://wikicarpedia.com/car/The_Ferries

Special case: If the tile just placed extends several roads leading to a ferry, you may reposition the first ferry on each of these roads.

I agree with Orion, I also don't understand why Wonder tiles are counted as 5 separate tiles for everything, except for the Wagon's movement.
That sounds the opposite of consistent.

WTF? This is reason to add lines on tiles like on City of Carcassonne tiles. Then it's clear, which square space is affected.

Just for consistency there were:
Q1 to Q23
Q8.5, Q16.5
and
Q24.1 to Q24.3
?

Question #24.2:
d) How many points does each player score this turn? (1 point)



As this question is going after Question #20, I don't know which correct answer to write :)
I'll write both :)

Question #20:

....

Note:
...
* All the fan expansions in this question can be found on Carcassonne Central and WICA... but one of them has not been made public on WICA yet, so it may require some digging. Good luck!


All fan expansions are there now.

I heard rumors from whispers that the missing expansion will be finished on WICA soon! :)

I was angry enough when I saw a question about fan expansions
So fan expansions - if you like them or not - are an integral part of this community.
So why should they not be part of the Advent Quizz?
  • Fan expansions are not true Carcassonne. They might be part of the community, which is not a bad thing, but they are not part of Carcassonne. The same way fan fiction works are not canon for their corresponding literary works.
  • Their rules are flaky. They can have multiple, unofficial versions. What happens with the quiz if overnight the author changes the rules? If HiG were to do it, we all would find out, and it is very easy to find out the latest version of the HiG rules (at least to me). But for fan expansions not necessarily if the author just changes a stray PDF. What happens if there are multiple authors that have their own version of the rules? Not providing a clear set of rules and having to dig for the rules (that unnamed expansion...) is weird and so un-WICA like. That would cease being a problem if their WICA pages would be complete, with the relevant inter-expansion interactions fully covered.



All expansions except one is fully covered by WICA. I'm the one which started with standardization of rules of fan expansions. Ask @oldbonz or @Leven or @MMike how many questions they got to cover interactions which were not told in original rules. At least author of them provided rules for most common large expansions, and not use HiG prime direction - expansions is for base game, all other rules will not be provided.

But understand that when checking original rules of fan expansions which have not the same style, can be confusing when not playing those expansions. But it's similar to official expansions, I also have a lot of them, which I played maybe 2-3 times (Peasant Revolt as very known example). So need to check rules :)

Anyway I don't agree with comparison between fan-fiction and fan-expansions. At least I have a lot of them, and they change rules always less then official expansions. They usually follow standards of scoring and rules, and if not, we are trying to standardized them on WiCa. Because we are playing with them. And HiG understand that, and that is reason why we have a lot of fan-expansions which are semi-official.

The official rules were too hard for him...
:)

I re-read the question; it's irrelevant as no meeple are moved or placed.

Yes it is, but we know, that in some options will be possible to place a meeple with significant change of scoring.

Sure, but the question specifies that that doesn't happen.

Aaa, there are Notes :) Good to know...

I was asking @Meepledrone for question with fan expansions. But I didn't expect this Fan Expansion Massacre :)
