Carcassonne Board Game

Just like in the base game, you must place tiles so that its edges match the edges of the tiles already in play. After placing a tile, you may1 Note the use of the word "may" in the statement. A player is NOT required to use a bridge to place a tile, even if that tile would otherwise have to be discarded. The player has the choice to use the bridge to place the tile or just discard the tile. place a bridge, which counts as a road and connects roads over features or meeples on that tile.2As with normal roads, each end of the bridge must continue a road segment (or bridge) already in play or must be adjacent to an empty place for a tile.

You can place one bridge on the tile you just placed, or on a tile touching the tile you just placed. When placing a bridge, you must place both ends in a field, and it must be placed facing either left-to-right or up-to-down (it cannot be placed diagonally across the tile). Once placed, a bridge remains on that tile until the end of the game.

In this example: The field on the left side of the new tile connects the field below the bridge to the field above the bridge.

You can place a tile so that a road ends against a field, but you must place a bridge that continues the road on that same turn. You can use multiple bridges in a row along the same road, but each tile can have a maximum of only one bridge on it.3One tile cannot have 2 bridges running perpendicular to each other. The rules state that the bridge must lie on a field, and if bridges are stacked, one end of the top bridge will not touch the field. Bridges can be placed on tiles with meeples on them.
