Carcassonne: The Ferries (2012)

Carcassonne: The Ferries, a small expansion for Carcassonne, includes eight new land tiles that show three or four road segments leading to a lake in the center of the tile; these tiles are mixed with the other tiles in the game.

Whenever a player draws one of these tiles, she places it following the normal rules, decides whether to place a follower (and if on a road as a robber, on which segment), then places a ferry on the tile to connect two of the road segments. Any segments not connected by a ferry end in the lake. Whenever a player extends a road that contains one or more ferries – whether by placing a Ferries tile or a regular road tile – she may move the first ferry closest to that tile in each direction of the road to connect different road segments. If this movement leads to a road being closed at both ends, that road now scores.

Components:

• 8 wooden ferries
• 8 landscape tiles showing lakes
• 1 Corn Circle tile (for use with Carcassonne: Corn Circles, Plague & Tunnels, with Carcassonne: Die Kornkreise or with the other five Corn Circle tiles scattered among the Mini Carcassonne expansions)
