The Gallows (fan expansion for Carcassonne)

Description

Players may deploy a follower to the city segment of a gallows tile instead of hanging, per standard rules but outside the gallows area; the tile then retires permanently. Key mechanics include: - *Alternative deployment option* Player elects to treat gallows tile as regular tile for city follower placement. - *Precise placement* Follower must occupy city segment only, excluding gallows area. - *Tile inactivation* Gallows tile ceases participation; no future hangings allowed by any player. - *Hanged follower bypass* City deployment remains possible despite existing hanged follower, as it cannot control the city. This Carcassonne rule clarifies gallows tile usage: players can forgo hanging by deploying a follower to the city segment under standard rules, positioned outside the gallows area. Post-deployment, the tile retires entirely from the game, barring all subsequent hangings. Even with a prior hanged follower present—which cannot claim city control—new city deployments are permitted. Approved by carcassonnecentral and carcassonne-forum.
