Do you use house rules?

Robber is for longest road, right?

Yup. The rule is quite OP, but you don't get that many bandits, and you can only apply this rule if you hold the Robber tile.

I think that everyone is playing with some house rules but maybe they don't thing that's house rule.


Imagine very often is player drawing tile to speed up the game before current player finish his turn.
This is house rule Because written rule is, that when it is your turn, then you draw tile as first (ok. except Fairy, because there you can get 1 point for Fairy bonus before you draw a tile

The only house rule we play is regarding unclear clarifications:

If players are willing to argue about the interpretation of rules, they must also be willing to fight to the death over it.

We solve a lot of problems that way, the games are much shorter, although you do run out of people to play with.

It's hard to believe that the "fight to the death" rule used to be in the official rules, albeit as a mistranslation. Still, it's what we used to play when I first got into Carcassonne so we've just gotten used to it. Call me a purist, but it just doesn't feel right trying to settle anything in any other way.

I prefer to fight to the pain.

To the pain means this: if we duel and you win, death for me. If we duel and I win, life for you. But life on my terms. The first thing you lose will be your feet. Below the ankle. You will have stumps available to use within six months. Then your hands, at the wrists. They heal somewhat quicker. Five months is a fair average. Next your nose. No smell of dawn for you. Followed by your tongue. Deeply cut away. Not even a stump left. And then your left eye—"

And then my right eye, and then my ears, and shall we get on with it?" the Prince said.

Wrong!" Westley’s voice rang across the room. "Your ears you keep, so that every shriek of every child shall be yours to cherish—every babe that weeps in fear at your approach, every woman that cries 'Dear God, what is that thing?' will reverberate forever with your perfect ears.

Of course they are. Less players (caused by death) quicker game
