Many have wondered where the legendary ‘Middle-Earth’ lies. Few indeed now
remember that it is, in fact, in France…

Preparation

If not using the forests fan-made expansion, set aside the Barrow Downs and Lothlorien tiles. If not using the fan-made
mountains expansion, set aside the Moria tile. If using the River and/ or River II expansions, mix the Anduin tile into the
other river tiles, but if using the fan-made fishermen expansion, shuffle the Anduin tile into all the other tiles. Shuffle the
remaining tiles in with the rest.

1. Place a tile

8 of the tiles are quest tiles. They contain the arrow shown to the left. The first quest tile drawn may be placed
anywhere in accordance with the normal rules of Carcassonne. From then on, each quest tile must be placed in the
direction the arrow on the previous quest tile is pointing to, i.e. if the last quest tile to be placed was pointing to the
left, the next quest tile must be placed somewhere directly to the left of that tile

. If a quest tile may not be placed

there, it must be placed orthogonally to the previous quest tile. If it still cannot be placed, then the tile is set aside and a new
one drawn.

This tile is the last quest tile to be
played. The next quest tile drawn
must be somewhere in line with where
the arrow is pointing.

It does not matter which direction the arrow on the current tile is pointing when it is placed.

2. Place a Follower/ Score

Each tile has an effect on scoring/ follower placement:

The Shire

The magic gates contained on this tile may be used normally,
but only 1 follower may be placed on another tile. If not using
the Princess and Dragon expansion, the magic gates can be ignored.

The Barrow Downs
The graveyard on this tile is used in accordance with the Grim Reaple
fan-made expansion. If not using this, it may be ignored. If not using the

forest fan-made expansion, this tile is set aside.




Bree

The inn on this tile is used in accordance with the inns and cathedrals
expansion. if not using this, it may be ignored. The well is used in
accordance with the wells fan-made expansion, and this may also be
ignored.



Amon Sul upon Weathertop

The two tower foundations here make preventing/ capping them more
difficult. If not using the tower expansion, they may be ignored.





Rivendell

This cloister is treated as a normal cloister, but already containing a
brewery. If not using the breweries fan-made expansion, the brewery
may be ignored.




The Mines of Moria

When this tile is placed, the person who placed it scores an additional 5
points in accordance with the rules to the mountains fan-made expansion.

If this fan-made expansion is not being used, this tile is set aside.




Lothlorien

Lothlorien is the equivalent of a logging camp inside the forest. If the green
dragon fan-made expansion is not used, Lothlorien may be ignored. If the
forests fan-made expansion is not used, this tile is set aside.

The Anduin River

The river and the cliffs split the tile into 6 separate farms. If using the
fishermen and swan lake fan-made expansions, the statues are the equivalent
of a swan along the river. If neither of these expansions are used, this
tile is treated as an ordinary river tile.



Black riders (3 tiles)

When a road containing black riders is scored, any tile containing black riders
is not counted towards the score or the length of the road (robber baron).





The Mirror of Galadriel

This tile is used in accordance with the fortune teller fan-made expansion. If
this is not used the mirror may be ignored.
