Tile Realm Rules

A tile-laying game where you grow the board one tile at a time, forming cities, roads and cloisters. Place your 7 meeples to claim regions and score at game end. You can't enter a region that already holds another meeple — the fight to merge regions is the heart of the game.

1. Draw 1 tile from the deck.
2. Place it adjacent to existing tiles so edges match. Rotation is free.
3. Optionally place 1 meeple on the tile you just placed, only if the region contains no other meeple.
4. Play passes to the next player.

• City: completed 2 pts/tile + 2 pts/shield; incomplete 1 pt/tile + 1 pt/shield.
• Road: 1 pt/tile (same for complete and incomplete).
• Cloister: 1 pt + 1 per filled adjacent tile (out of 8).
• Field (farmer) scoring applies when the Farmers expansion is on (3 pts per completed city at game end).
• If a region contains meeples from multiple players, the player with the most takes the points.

• River: Start from the spring, lay 12 river tiles first, then close with the lake. The river can't make an immediate U-turn. You can't place a meeple on the river itself, but you can on the city/road/cloister/field of the same tile.
• Farmers: Lay a meeple down in a field as a farmer. Farmers are never returned until game end. At game end, each completed city the field touches is worth 3 points. Only the player with the most farmers in a field scores it (ties split full).
• Abbot: One per player. Placed on a monastery or a garden (dedicated tile), scoring like a monastery (1 + filled neighbors). On your meeple step you may, instead of placing a meeple, take your abbot back and immediately score its current value.

Completed regions score and return meeples immediately; incomplete regions resolve at game end. The River, Farmers, and Abbot expansions can be toggled by the host when creating the room.
