When there are no meeples or only buried meeples in the game, the hound is lost, since you cannot place it.

Yes

Joint scoring multiplies the entire value of a finished city, including the shield value. So if 2 players are involved in joint scoring, each shield would be worth 4 points instead of 2.

No

When you choose to remove ghosts from a land tile (instead of scoring), you may choose any regular-sized tile the starting tile represents and remove the ghosts from it. But you cannot remove ghosts from the entire starting tile with a single action this way.

Yes

If you choose to remove ghosts instead of scoring, you must skip the entire scoring. So if 2 players are involved in joint scoring, you cannot skip one player's scoring to remove ghosts, and then score the other player's points.

No

There are no majorities in mists over Carcassonne. You count how many different colors are present in the scored region. For example, you complete a road which goes through 5 tiles and has 2 blue meeple and 1 red meeple on that road. In this case, you score 10 points in total, 5 for blue and 5 for red.⁠

-1 per ghost

Each ghost added to your meeples is worth -1 point during final scoring.

1 per tile with mist

Each castle with a meeple on it is worth 1 point for the castle plus 1 point for each surrounding tile with mist on it during final scoring.

Yes, to non-guardian

You can place ghosts to a farmer just like any other meeple. Also, just like any other meeple, you cannot place ghosts to it, if it is a guardian meeple.

Yes

Mist acts as a border to fields the same way that cities do.

No

In the expansion, you gain an additional guard meeple, but score no points when scoring a cemetery.

No

Even though you can score negative points when scoring a meeple with ghosts, you cannot go lower than 0 points on the scoring track.

Yes

You may end up scoring negative points when you score a meeple with ghosts added to it.

-2 per ghost

Each ghost added to the meeple being scored costs you -2 points.

3

As soon as you add the third ghost to a meeple on the game board, you must return the meeple and the ghosts to their respective supplies.

Yes

It can happen that you simultaneously expand one mist bank while limiting another. In that case you must first add 1 ghost to another player’s meeple on the game board, after which you must add 1 ghost to one of your own meeples on the game board.

No

New face-up tiles can only be placed adjacent to face-down tiles if they also share at least one edge with a different, face-up tile already added to the board.

1

Even if more than one cemetery is open, you still only draw and place 1 face-down tile. In this case, you can choose which cemetery to place it adjacent to.

No

As long as you have an open cemetery, you must once per turn draw 1 tile WITHOUT LOOKING AT IT and place it on the board adjacent to any open cemetery.

No

If a face-down tile is placed around a castle, then it can’t be finished any more.

No

Face-down tiles may be placed adjacent to any type of terrain (roads, cities, etc.), but do not finish anything except cemeteries. All other regions with a face-down tile adjacent to them are ‘haunted’ and cannot be finished any more.

Yes

When you place a haunted cemetery, you must add 1 ghost to each tile with mist on it around the cemetery. It doesn’t matter if the mist bank is finished or not, or if any ghosts are already on the tile or not.

All 8

In order to close a haunted cemetery, you must completely surround it with 8 tiles (just like when scoring a castle).

No

You can never choose to forego points when scoring a hound to remove ghosts instead.

Yes

When you place a hound, you remove up to 3 ghosts from any adjacent tile twice, no matter where exactly the ghosts are on this tile.

Yes

After you place a hound on the board, you may remove up to 3 ghosts each from any 2 different land tiles adjacent to the hound, including the tile you placed the hound on itself.

1

If you must add a ghost and there are multiple open cemeteries, you still add only 1 ghost, deciding as a team where to add the extra ghost.

Take it from supply

If you must bury a meeple but you don’t have any meeples on the board, you must use one from your supply instead.

Place 4 tiles around

As soon as tiles are added to all 4 sides of the cemetery tile (left, right, top, bottom), you remove all ghosts from this cemetery tile (in addition to burying a meeple).

No, only 4

You must bury a meeple in a cemetery as soon as tiles are added to all 4 sides of the cemetery tile (left, right, top, bottom).

When surrounded

You score the castle as soon as it is completely surrounded by land tiles.

Yes

When you score a castle, you score 2 points for each surrounding tile with mist on it, including the castle tile itself.

2 per mist tile

When you completely surround a castle with tiles, score 2 points for each surrounding tile with mist on it (including the castle tile itself).

Yes

You win the game immediately when you reach or pass the goal tile on the scoring track - you don't need to score the exact points, marked by the goal tile.

No

There is no final scoring in the game. When the game end is triggered, no more points can be scored, so unfinished roads and cities are worth zero points.

No

It does not matter if there are several meeples of the same color on a finished road or city - you only get additional points for having meeples of different colors on such a road or city. Also, there must be an equal number of different-color meeples (for example, 1 red and 1 blue meeples, or 2 red and 2 blue meeples) to trigger joint scoring.

The score multiplies

If you finish a road or a city and there are meeples of several colors on this road or city, you score the road or city once for each different-colored meeple on it. For example, if you complete a 5-point road with 2 meeples of different colors on it, you score 10 points.

Yes

When a single tile triggers scoring more than once, the active player decides what happens for each scoring separately.

No

When placing a tile triggers scoring, you may remove up to 3 ghosts from exactly 1 tile of your choice.

Up to 3

When placing a tile triggers scoring, you may remove up to 3 ghosts from exactly 1 tile of your choice.

No

While you can finish mist banks, they never trigger scoring (you remove ghosts instead). However, placing a tile with mist can also trigger scoring of roads and cities in the usual manner.

Not directly

You can never place a meeple directly onto mist. You may, however, place one onto a clear road or city on the tile, as per usual (or, in later levels, into a castle).

No

If you expand at least one mist bank when placing a tile (i.e. matched at least one side of the tile you just placed with mist already on the board), then you place one fewer ghost on the tile. If the tile only shows a single ghost, then you don’t need to place any ghosts.

Finishing mist banks

When you finish a mist bank, immediately remove all ghosts from the associated mist, returning them to the general supply.

No

A mist can never be finished as soon as one side is next to a field or road without mist. In order to finish a mist you must completely surround with edges of the mist, just like a city.

Yes

When placing a tile you must place the tile such that road matches road and field matches field, meanwhile mist is ignored when considering tile placement restrictions.

No

Shields provide points only when you complete a city the shields are in.

2

Each shield in a completed city is worth 2 points.

No

Your meeples return to your supply only when you complete a city or a road the meeples are on.

2 points per tile

Each tile the finished city is on is worth 2 points.

1 point per tile

Each tile a completed road is on is worth 1 point.

Yes

Whenever a road is completed, its scoring is triggered immediately, regardless which player's turn it is now.

No

You may only place your meeple on an unoccupied road.

Yes

When you place a new land tile, you must place it so it touches at least 1 other tile with one of its sides (orthogonally). It is not enough for the tile to touch another tile with a corner (diagonally).

No

You may place up to 1 meeple on your turn.

No

You may only place your meeple on the new land tile, which you have placed this turn.

No

After placing a land tile, you may OPTIONALLY place 1 meeple from your supply on this tile.

No

On each of your turns, you must draw and place exactly 1 land tile.

You are

Whoever is reading this FAQ entry is the start player.

Yes

You should show each other your tiles and decide as a team where to place them.

Ghost or tile supply

You lose the game when you run out of ghosts or tiles in the supply: when you must place a ghost or a tile but you cannot, you immediately lose the game.

Reaching goal tile

In order to win the game, you must advance your scoring meeple to reach the goal tile, which is placed on a specific space during game setup.
