Manual — Carcassonne: Watchtowers

Klaus-Jürgen Wrede
The Watchtowers
This mini-expansion features watchtowers
that you can build in and around Carcassonne.
Each tower watches over different things and
is more valuable the more it watches over.
Setup
Shuffle the six new land tiles showing the watchtowers with those from the base game.
This expansion has been developed for the Carcassonne base game. All of the rules remain the same. You can combine The Watchtowers with other
expansions - but at your own risk – i.e. there will be no official rules for these combinations.
When you draw a land tile showing a watchtower, place it according to the known rules.
After placing a land tile showing a watchtower, you may place
one of your meeples on it according to the known rules.
You may place it in a city or on a road or in a field as farmer.
You may not place the meeple on the watchtower itself.
12 new land tiles
showing watchtowers
1. Place a land tile
2. Place a meeple
Components
When a road or city is completed and its meeple is on the watchtower tile, you score the watchtower. The completed road or city is
scored afterwards. This does not apply to farmers. Farmers do not trigger scoring for watchtowers. For scoring the watchtowers, the
8 directly adjacent tiles and the tile with the watchtower itself are considered.
You can see on each watchtower what is worth points:
You
place a tile showing a
watchtower and place a meeple
in the city. You may not place it
on the watchtower though.
3. Score points
Same situation with a
different watchtower:
You
score 4 points
with the tower (4 tiles
showing a part of a
city x 1 point) and
then 6 points for the
city itself.
Your city has been
completed. First,
you score 8 points
(4 meeples x 2 points)
with the watchtower.
Then you get 6 points
for the city.
