RULES:
On your turn you draw 1 land tile and place it next to any adjacent tile already in play. You may not place it kitty-corner. There are 4 types of segments that appear on tiles: Roads, Fields, cloisters, and city segments. Within Road segments there are crossings that break up road segments. The placed tiles must fit all existing segments of all adjacent tiles. Roads continue with roads, cities with cities, fields with fields. The cloister is complete all by itself.
In the rare case that a drawn tile cannot legally be played anywhere, and all players agree, discard it to the box and draw a new tile and continue your turn. After a player places a land tile, they may deploy a follower. You may only play 1 follower per turn. That follower must come from your supply. You may only deploy it to the tile you just placed.
Followers can be deployed in one of 4 ways: As a knight: place the follower standing upright in a city segment. As a thief: place the follower standing on a road. As a farmer: place the follower on its side on a field segment. Or as a Monk: Place the follower standing in a cloister.
You may not deploy a follower on a segment that connects to another segment on another tile, no matter how far away, that already has a follower on it. You don’t have to place a follower if you don’t want to. If you don’t have any more followers, you just place the tile and move to the final action of your turn.
If after placing a tile and a follower, if you choose, you may score points for completed segments. A road is complete when the road segments on both ends connect to a crossing, a city segment, a cloister, or when the road forms a complete loop. The player with the most thieves on a completed road segment scores 1 point for each tile in the completed road. Separate segments on a tile count just once. [see visual in rules] If two or more players all have the same number of thieves, then all tied players score maximum points. Remove all thieves from the completed road and return them to their owner’s supply. At the end of the game, incomplete road tiles count for 1 point each.
A city is complete when the city is completely surrounded by a city wall and there are no gaps in the wall. The player with the most knights in that city score 2 points for each tile in the completed city and 2 bonus points for each pennant, which is the small blue and white shield symbol. If two or more players all have the same number of knights, then all tied players score maximum points. Remove all knights from the completed city and return them to their owner’s supply. At the end of the game, incomplete city tiles and pennants count for 1 point each.
A cloister is complete when the 8 spaces surrounding the cloister have a tile in them. The player with a monk in a completed cloister scores 9 points, 1 point for each tile...
Only after a segment is scored do you remove the followers from play and return them to player’s supplies. The returned followers may be used again in any segment their owner wishes. It is possible for a player to deploy a follower and score a road, city, or cloister and then have that follower returned all on the same turn.
When scoring, move that player’s score marker forward on the scoring track that many spaces. If your score marker exceeds 50, lay your marker on its side to indicate you’ve surpassed 50 and continue around the track again.
Connected field segments are called farms. Farms only score at the end of the game. Farmers remain in the field segments where they are deployed the entire game and are never returned to their owner’s supply. To emphasize this, farmers are placed on their side. Farms are bordered by roads, cities, and the edge of the area where the land tiles have been played.
The game ends at the end of the player’s turn who places the last land tile. Only completed cities are used for scoring farmers, the size of the city is irrelevant. The farmer must be in a farm that borders a city to supply it. The distance of the farmer is unimportant. It is possible for multiple players to have a farmer or many farmers in the same farm. If this is the case, only the player with the most farmers in the...

That is awesome!
Wow, phenomenal explanation of the rules! I'll be using this for my game design class!
You have explained it very good. Good job and thank you
Brilliant video! It's by far the clearest and most complete explanation of Carcassonne I've seen on KZread, well done! I just bought the game, I'll try it this aftermoon.
Great tutorial!!!!!!
i was following until the scoring at the end. that was really confusing...
Very WELL done clip. A.
Great video!
Ah, my favorite game: Breakdancers, Corpses, and people who are Alive.
This game treats ties so nicely
Why there is a fellow meeple sharing in the completed city and road mentioned in 2:46 ?
I always struggle with the farmer scoring
This is like Catan but insane.
So if you don't have the most nor tied for the most meeples on a scoring area, you don't get any points either at the end of the game or before?
How about the gold and ruver variant?
What is kitty corner?
Me, who doesn't want to come up with the DnD map by myself: where can I buy this?
Thanks for the excellent video. I wonder if you could answer a couple of questions I have regarding the game. I haven;t purchased it yet, but after waiting a few review, it raised a couple of rule questions. 1. Regarding the cloisters and the surrounding with tiles; are these completely a different thing from the small churches (that look like slightly smaller cloisters) that have the roads coming from them? Do I treat a church with a road just as a normal closed road, or can I surround them with 8 tiles (so long as they match properly) for the 9 points as well? 2. If a there is a tile on the board that has not been claimed, can I put my follower on it on my move, or can I only place flowers on tiles immediately after I have placed them?

+Mike JB 1. I'm not sure what exactly you're referring to, you should look online for the rules to figure out the answer specifically. 2. You are only allowed to place a follower on the tile you just placed.

Triple S Games Thanks for the reply. To clarify (regarding the cloisters); on the tiles, there are in fact different types of little churches (cloisters): one is a cloister all by itself, with no road or other features leading from it. The other is a similar looking little church, but it does have roads leading out from it. See the top line of four churches in the following image: tinyurl.com/jqygzc7 Are all these churches treated the same, i.e. surround them on all sides with tiles and then claim 9 points (assuming you have a follower on it of course)?

Great review. I have played it a few times and it is a lot of fun. I couldnt find any rulings on the internet so I was hoping you could help. If I placed a tile that completes a farm and road at the same time, can i score both on the same turn and two meeples would return to my hand?
If there is a tie, then *joust to the death to decide the winner.*
You show a farmer being placed in the center of a tile, but I was taught that the mepole must be placed on one of the four long edges (with the monastery being an exception) If you have the corners of city/city/road/road you may not play a farmer on that tile. We also play that at the end of the game completed cities can count multiple times, once for the winner of each farm they are attached to. Are we playing wrong?
What's kitty corner? Damn I have to go to Google now
You made a mistake when you talked about scoring for farms
2:04 contradicts with 3:14…. If you can’t place in a city that another player is in how does the scenario at 3:14 happen?

He explains this later. At the time the two different colour tokens were placed, the cities were separated by empty void. A later tile was placed in the middle and connected them.

You didn’t explain how two knights can end up in the same city

If two partial cities connect, same as roads or farms.

It's actually really simple to learn, but strategy can be difficult. I just bought the game and have watched a Tabletop play of it from Will Wheaton, read the rules, and watched this and it's actually pretty simple. The rules actually recommend not playing with farmers to start so you can get a good idea of it before introducing the more complex farms. I'll be playing tonight and look forward to it!

Garrett Smith you can. One player starts a road, another player starts a different road, then during gameplay the two roads connect.
Great video. The different effects really helped me understand your instructions. That said, you really need to do something about your hair.
Watched this 4 times and still couldn't get it. It's way too jumpy. Should have shown how two meeples can connect when you mentioned they cant the first time?? not wait to the end.. It was like "Two meeples can not be placed in the same area, but if they are on the road together then this is how it scores" leaves your brain feeling behind.
