How Abbey & Mayor changes play
Abbey & Mayor
- Setup: shuffle the 12 new tiles in; each player takes an abbey tile, a mayor, a wagon and a barn. Unused abbeys go in the box.
- Abbey: instead of drawing a tile, place it in an empty space with tiles on all 4 sides. It needn't match them, closes every edge it touches (scoring any feature it completes), and a monk on it scores like a monastery.
- Mayor: instead of a meeple, place it in a city with no knights or mayors. It counts as one meeple per coat of arms in that city (none if none) and goes home when the city scores.
- Wagon: instead of a meeple, place it on a road, city, monastery or abbey. After that feature scores, you may move it to an unoccupied, unfinished feature on the same or an adjacent tile (diagonals count), or take it back.
- Barn: instead of a meeple, place it where four tiles meet with field at all four corners, in a field with no barn. That field scores at once, 3 per completed city to the farmer majority; its farmers go home. At game end the barn scores 4 per completed city.
- Barn field: a barn field can't hold farmers. When a later tile joins a farmer field to it, that field scores at once at 1 per completed city and its farmers go home.
