Mage and
Witch
If you draw a
tile with the Magic Logo on it, 1.
Place the Tile, however, before continuing to 2.
Place a Meeple, you must first place one of the magic figures.
The magic figures can be placed only on incomplete cities or
roads,
and they can never occupy the same feature as each other (the
Mage can never be on the same feature as the
Witch, and vice-versa). If both magic figures
are already placed, then one of them must be moved, following the same
rules as for placing them. The magic figures Do Not have to be
placed on or moved to the tile you just placed.
If you cannot place or move either magic figure (because there are no eligible locations), you must remove one of them from a tile and set it aside. The next time another tile with a magic symbol is placed, this figure can be placed again
If you cause both magic figures to be occupying the same feature, you must immediately move one of the magic figures. If this same tile placement would also cause a feature to be scored, you must move the magic figure before scoring the feature.
After placing a tile with a magic symbol, you may still place a meeple according to the normal rules.
Whenever you complete a feature occupied by a magic figure, they modify the score:
- The Mage is worth 1 point per tile in the scored feature.
- The Witch halves the points of the scored feature (rounded up).
When scoring roads with inns and cities with cathedrals where the witch is present, first add the bonus points from the inn or cathedral, then halve the sum.
After modifying a scored feature, the magic figure is removed from the tile and set aside. The next time another tile with a magic symbol is placed, this figure can be placed again.
If there is an incomplete city with a Mage on
it AND another incomplete city next to it with a
Witch on it, placing a non-logo tile that
connects the two cities would trigger the requirement to move one of the
magic figures.
Well, this is Carcassonne, soooo, if the joined city will score point for someone else, you can move the Mage to an incomplete city that you control 😇, OR, if the joined city will score points for yourself, you can move the Witch to an incomplete city of the player who has the most points in the game so far 😈! Then, the city can be scored as normal!
