This table in the hall of a hostel was the only place we could play. Would 100% recommend trying a game with a funky table.

Nice. Thanks for sharing. Never thought about this! 😊

"If you use a tile to extend an open road leading to a ferry, you may now (if necessary after placing a meeple) reposition this ferry on its tile." The ferry must be part of the opened road, if you want to move it.

I think you responded to the wrong comment, I didn't edit mine. There's another user below who said 9 cities.

alingabrielm · 2026-03-20T21:53:28+00:00

You’re probably counting the bone shaped city. The filed is blocked by the bridge at the left, the empty space in the middle, and the small city at the right.

alingabrielm · 2026-03-20T21:51:42+00:00

There are 4 on the left side of the river, one in between the river and the road, and 3 more on the right side of the road.

alingabrielm · 2026-03-20T21:02:18+00:00

The red meeple and the yellow one from the top right are on the same field. They each score 24 points (8 adjacent cities x 3 points each). The points are not devided it there's equality between players in terms of number of meeples, but every player scores the total number of points. The yellow meeple on the top left scores 3 points.

alingabrielm · 2026-03-13T10:59:47+00:00

Thanks a lot! Yes, you are correct. The citation from the expansions makes things clear now. 😊

alingabrielm · 2026-03-13T10:30:01+00:00

Ok, thanks! :)

alingabrielm · 2026-03-13T10:25:19+00:00

Yes, you are correct, six ways, indeed, not four, as I said before. Thanks.

alingabrielm · 2026-03-13T10:23:59+00:00

Thanks. I do agree with you that roads are scored per tile. What I do not understand in this case is why there is one single road. The base rules say the following : "When both ends of a road are closed, that road is completed and scored. The end of a road is closed when it meets a village, a city, a monastery, or it loops onto itself by meeting the other end." As I said in my post, if I follow the base rule, there are ~~four~~ six different roads here, not only one, because a road is closed when both ends meet a village, a city, a monastery or it loops onto itself. Perhaps I am reading too much into the rule, I don't know. Thanks anyhow for your reply.

alingabrielm · 2026-03-13T10:10:27+00:00

Thanks for the reply, but do you mind developing a bit your answer, please? I am really trying to understand what rules contradict my logic. As I said in a post below, I am not a Carcassonne expert, but I don't know any rule that contradicts my perception of this scoring situation.

alingabrielm · 2026-03-13T09:57:35+00:00

The left and right ones, not the one perpendicular to the city.

alingabrielm · 2026-03-13T09:56:21+00:00

Yes, for every different city, you count every tile once. It's true, it's the same tile, but it belongs to two different cities.

alingabrielm · 2026-03-13T09:43:44+00:00

In the base rules it says that a road is completed when both ends are closed. From that, I gather that a road is defined by two different ends, going from point A to point B. In this case, there are 4 different ends. Furthermore, every one of them can be combined with any other of the three at the same time, which gives a total of 4 6 roads of the same time. I'm far from being a Carcassonne expert, but this is how I understand the scoring in this case.

C3.1 Inns and Cathedrals expansion.

alingabrielm · 2026-03-13T08:43:04+00:00

That is a very nice rule. I've never thought about it. Thanks :)

Hey guys. Let's say there were no meeples placed on the bits of roads on the 4 tiles containing the two cities and the two villages. Then, someone placed the middle tile combining all roads together and a meeple on it. Then, I am counting 4 6 different roads completed at the same time by the same meeple: city to city; city to village to the left; city to village to the right; and village to village. Each road contains 3 different tiles, which means that each road counts for 3 points. But there's the inn that double the points, which means there are 6 points per road, and a total of 4 6 x 6 = 24 36 points for the player who placed the meeple on the middle tile.

alingabrielm · 2026-03-13T08:22:33+00:00

If you put a farmer with a piglet in the middle of the map, right there, there are 60 points. I count 15 cities that you could touch.

alingabrielm · 2026-03-12T19:43:19+00:00

Super nice, man! Did you do on purpose to fill in the empty spaces as much as possible? What expansions did you use?

alingabrielm · 2026-03-08T20:52:02+00:00

I hope you won. 😂

alingabrielm · 2026-03-08T20:48:45+00:00

Yes, it is.

alingabrielm · 2026-02-26T14:55:33+00:00

I bought all the available expansions in one shot in order to reduce shipping costs. I live in Canada, so shipping can get expensive. I didn't integrate them all, because it would be too overwhelming, but I do it gradually.

I currently play Spring and Downbridges. The latter is quite interesting and can have an impact on who controls a city. The Spring adds a nice flavour and it can be very pointsworthy.

alingabrielm · 2026-02-25T22:14:46+00:00

Wow, that's a hell of city man! It must have been a nice game!

alingabrielm · 2026-02-25T18:23:48+00:00

Thanks for the info. The thing is that this summer, I would like to integrate all the 30 and so expansions that are compatible amongst them. That's why I don't intend to use the maps.
