Carcassonne-Forum

On 18 October 2012 I (kettlefish) was at Game 2012 in Essen, where I had a meeting with HiG - Georg Wild and Christof Tisch. Most of the topics I have already recounted in HiG chat and posted here in the forum. But the story of the dragon has not yet been told.

Since the Wheel of Fortune is a special starting area, it is often assumed that the landscape areas around the actual Wheel of Fortune are off limits. No one is allowed to enter these landscape areas.

Now I come to the meeting with HiG:
The fact is that the dragon cannot actually operate within the Wheel of Fortune. So there all followers are safe from the dragon.
However, the landscape areas around Wheel of Fortune are sort of landscape tiles. Thus, when the dragon travels his six tiles, he can be moved there.
If these landscape areas don't have a follower, pig, or builder, he is not able to eat anything and must go hungry. Nevertheless, he may be moved around the Wheel of Fortune - in the landscape areas.
