Apologies for the late response. I was the lone vote for, 'use them in some other creatively strategic manner'.
I’m sure, for the purists, our version of Carcassonne would drive them over the parapet! We have a some custom and modified rules for a few tile sets, (but not all). The Bazaar is one of them.
Just to preface and as mentioned before my primary Carc partner is my wife. Before I picked up the 10th anniversary tiles from Cundco we would use the Bazaar tiles with that rule set, (return a Meeple from play if desired).
I thought something you might see happen at a Bazaar is a table of old gents playing their light games of chance, usually with playing cards. I certainly know my uncle, who lives in small town old Italy, spends most of his afternoons with this innocuous activity as they watch Calcio, (Italian football).
OK, finally here it is, when the Bazaar feature is drawn the player has the option to play a game of chance (in place of taking a feature). If you choose this option you can bid up to as many points as you wish (this number is very arbitrary and can have a limit of whatever is agreed upon in advance).
The game is played with the Flyer die, bid up to the point level you wish (say 5 points) and choose a die number between 1 & 3 as shown on the die face. If you number comes up you get double those points you bid, (so in this example 10 points). If your number doesn’t come up you lose the bid points off the score track.
We always include these tiles and I am usually the only one to take the odd chance.
That is our wacky way
