Carcassonne Expansion 5: Abbey & Mayor

Abbey & Mayor adds 3 new wooden piece types, 6 Abbey tiles, and 12 landscape tiles to Carcassonne. The Abbey tiles act as Cloisters but do not have to match adjacent tiles. Abbeys complete adjacent features when placed. Mayors can be placed only in cities, with their strength determined by the number of pennants in the city. Barns allow players to score fields during the game rather than just at the end. Wagons are placed on roads, cities, or cloisters, and can move to an adjacent open feature when their current feature is completed.

With this expansion, the players have new possibilities of strengthening their influence in the area around Carcassonne. Now traveling merchants transport their goods to surrounding cities and monasteries. The cities in the surrounding countryside can increase to a size large enough to elect their own mayors. Simple farmers build large and wealthy farms and the church tries to strengthen their influence by establishing abbeys.
