Carcassonne: The Land Surveyors

Description

--- "Carcassonne: The Land Surveyors" is an expansion that dynamically alters scoring for roads, cities, and monasteries via surveyor tiles, demanding precise timing for bonuses or penalties. Key mechanics include: - *Surveyor tile stacks* Separate stacks for roads, cities, and monasteries, each with an active tile and next-in-line. - *Scoring resolution* When a feature scores, values are modified by active tiles, then tiles cycle to the stack bottom. - *Bonus/penalty effects* Tiles adjust feature values positively or negatively during scoring. - *Strategic timing* Players must complete features when favorable surveyor tiles are active. Carcassonne: The Land Surveyors is an expansion where surveyors influence countryside scoring by changing values of roads, cities, and monasteries. Players create dedicated stacks of surveyor tiles for each feature type, maintaining one active tile and one queued next. Upon any player's feature scoring at least one point, resolution applies the active tiles' effects—offering bonuses or penalties—before rotating used tiles to the stack bottoms, advancing the next tiles. This mechanic rewards careful timing to leverage advantageous surveyor positions. Originally released as a print-and-play by Hans im Glück. ---
