Many sailors are still looking for a commission or a cause. When a player completes an island, he may recruit one
vagabond sailor for each icon on the island. Immediately he may place one boat follower for each icon in any legal
waters adjacent to the entire island, for free. This is a one time opportunity. If the receiving player has no boat
followers left in his supply, he must select a different player (with a boat in their supply) to receive the vagabond
sailor(s). If they accept, they may place a boat in the waters instead.

The player that completes a feature with a mutiny icon receives a mutiny token. Instead of placing a
follower or any related action, a player may play one of their mutiny tokens. When played, the player
selects any boat currently on the map and not part of a fleet, and swaps it with another player’s boat
from their supply. If any of these criteria are not met, the token may not be played. Mutiny tokens
may be discarded for free at any time.

This expansion introduces the infamous island prison: Chateau D’if! The rules for it loosely
follow the famous story of “The Count of Monte Cristo.” There is a betrayal, and possible
revenge. A player gains betrayal tokens the same way he gains mutiny tokens; by completing
islands. With a betrayal token in hand, instead of placing a follower or any related action, he
may execute a betrayal. Or, if a player draws and places Chateau D’If island, he may
immediately execute a betrayal, also at the cost of placing a follower. A player may not
execute a betrayal until Chateau D’If island is in play. He also may not execute a betrayal in
the last 3 rounds of play.

3

To execute a betrayal, the player declares betrayal and turns in his token. He then chooses a follower on land
(mainland or island) that will be betrayed. The chosen follower is swapped with a betrayer’s follower of equal or
lesser value, from their supply. Put a betrayal token with the silver side up underneath this follower. The value of
this follower is increased by 1, and it can’t be betrayed. Betrayals are not allowed inside Carcassonne city, nor in
cloisters. Barns, pigs, and builders may not be betrayed. If two or more followers of the same colour are claiming
a feature, none of them may be betrayed. They support each other.

The betrayed follower is now sent to Chateau D’If. Place it laying down. The player with the betrayed
follower must wait one turn with the follower lying down. On the next turn, the prisoner follower
may escape! If the player with a prisoner follower wishes, as a sailing move he may set the follower
on it’s side and put it into adjacent Ocean water. It is swimming back for revenge! Swimming followers move the
same way as sailboats, except the wind has no effect, and they may share tiles with any other boats without threat
of challenge.

In order to take revenge, a player must ‘swim’ his follower to the landmass he was betrayed on. Once he arrives on
the landmass, he may take revenge in the following way: The betrayed player is allowed to place a tile that joins
the feature he was betrayed on and place his betrayed follower there. Normally such a play is not allowed.
Remove the token from the betrayer follower and place it under the follower seeking revenge, this time with the
gold side up. This follower is now worth an extra three more than normal, when calculating majority during the
feature’s completion. The betrayer follower’s value goes back to normal. If calculating for island governorship,
multiply the feature claimed by the revenge seeker by two.

If on the other hand the feature is completed before the betrayed follower can take revenge, the opportunity for
revenge is lost, and the betrayed follower is returned to its players supply. Any betrayal tokens left are turned in.
Thus, each time a betrayal plot is carried out, there is a race between the two involved parties: one to complete the
feature, the other to get back in time before the feature is completed to take revenge. Chateau D’If island is
supplied normally by fishermen.

3

Variant: Set aside chateau D’If island at the beginning of play. The first player to execute a betrayal places Chateau D’If island according to normal tile

placement rules.
