Description
--- <TLDR>Carcassonne mini-expansion with sky omens interpreted as divine signs: solar eclipse scatters followers to religious sites; moon eclipse disbands road thieves; comet grants extra turns for city expansion; meteor shower offers tile choices.</TLDR> Key mechanics include: - *Solar eclipse*: Fills followers in the area with terror, causing them to flee to the nearest religious places such as monasteries, cathedrals in cities, or German cathedrals. - *Moon eclipse*: Disbands any thieves on a road due to fear for their lives. - *Comet*: Acts as a heavenly sign for the next player founding a new city, granting up to three extra turns to extend that city, fueled by faith. - *Meteor shower*: Provides luck, allowing players to choose between two tiles for their next three turns. This Carcassonne mini-expansion evokes the superstitious devotion of Carcassonne's people, who interpret sky phenomena as omens, premonitions, divine messages, or heavenly punishments urging repentance. The tiles introduce disruptive and beneficial celestial events: a solar eclipse terrifies followers, driving them to nearby religious structures; a moon eclipse scatters road thieves in fear; a comet empowers the subsequent city-founding player with up to three additional turns for expansion; and a meteor shower bestows fortune by permitting tile selection over the next three turns. ---
