Hi,
So, last week I've managed to play a game of Carcassonne with some friends and we played with both the barns and the gifts for the first time. We ran into the following issue:
If there is a barn in a field, it may not be occupied by a farmer. ("A field occupied by a barn may NOT be occupied by farmers.") So that means you can't put a farmer into a field where there's already a barn, right?
In The Gifts, there's the card for 'Changing Position' (or 'Change on the Lie') where you can change the position of the meeple to lying down in the field.
However, if it's not allowed to place a farmer in a field with a barn already present, doesn't that also mean you can't use this Gift-card to change the position of the meeple into a farmer in that field?
Am I correct in this reasoning or are you allowed to place a meeple into a field where there's already a barn, and it just means you score for the farmer right away and get your meeple back after scoring for the field?
Hope this makes sense!
