Carcassonne – Troubadours

A Carcassonne Central expansion by JPutt927

Music plays across the landscape as troubadours have begun sharing their

songs and intellect with the citizens of Carcassonne. In hopes of entertaining

those who travel through the cities and across the roads, these performers

have set out to be heard by as many as possible...

E XTRA P IECES

• 9 troubadour tiles

A DDITIONAL R ULES

Preparation

At the start of the game, shufﬂe the troubadour tiles with the rest of the tiles.

1. Place a tile

The troubadour tiles are placed in accordance with the usual Carcassonne rules.

2. Deploy a follower

When a tile with a troubadour is played, followers may be deployed to the tile as a Troubadour. Players may instead choose

to deploy themselves to any other feature that may be on the tile, assuming it has yet to be claimed.

3. Scoring a troubadour

Depending on the tile, a troubadour is vying to entertain followers within either a city, or a road. Troubadours score points for

every follower belonging to the feature in which the troubadour has been deployed. A troubadour is scored at the same time

in which it’s corresponding feature is completed and scored. A troubadour scores 4 points for every follower (knight or thief)

deployed within it’s corresponding city or road. When scoring points, the large follower (from Inns & Cathedrals ) is considered

as 2 followers, and therefore is worth 8 points. However, when scoring a troubadour, the mayor (from Abbey & Mayor ) is

considered as 1 follower, regardless of it’s value when determining the majority value for the city. As usual, the builder (from

Traders & Builders ) is not considered a follower.

Carcassonne – Troubadours

In this example, the city is completed and contains 3 total followers. Therefore, the blue follower’s

troubadour scores a total of 12 points. The troubadour is then removed from it’s tile and returned to

the blue player’s supply.

In this example, there are 2 troubadours vying to entertain followers on the same road. Because a

builder is not considered a follower, the road contains a total value of 3 followers (1 normal follower

and 1 large follower worth 2). Once completed, both the red player and the green player will earn

12 points. As usual, the blue player earns 8 points for the completed road.

Final Scoring

A troubadour that remains on it’s tile at the end of the game earns only 2 points per follower in it’s corresponding city or

road, instead of the usual 4 points.
