Carcassonne Board Game

After placing a tile with a flying machine on it, you may choose to place a meeple either normally (and then follow all normal rules of placement) or on the flying machine.

When you place a meeple on the flying machine,1 Any meeple (regular meeple, large meeple, mayor, wagon, abbot) can be a flier, as the flying machine feature is not the final resting place for the meeple. However, the final landing point must still be a valid feature for that meeple:
* The mayor can only land on an unfinished city. If an unfinished city is not available on the tile where the mayor lands, the mayor returns to the player's supply.
* The abbot can only land on a monastery or a garden. If an unfinished monastery or garden is not available on the tile where the abbot lands, the abbot returns to the player's supply. your meeple will move in a straight line in the direction that flying machine faces. Roll the flight die and move your meeple a number of tiles equal to the number of pips on the die (one to three tiles). Your meeple may be placed on any incomplete feature2A player cannot place a flier on a structure that was finished by the tile that was just placed, as a feature is considered completed at the moment that a tile is placed, and the flier can only land on an unfinished feature. on that tile, even if that feature is already occupied by other meeples. However, meeples placed by a flying machine can never be placed in a field, even if that field is unoccupied.

Meeples placed by a flying machine immediately become the appropriate type (highwayman, knight, or monk).

If you cannot place your meeple on the designated tile (either because there are only complete features and fields, or because there simply isn't a tile in the designated location), the meeple is returned to your supply. You do not get to place another meeple this turn.3This means that a meeple using a flying machine must be placed on the target tile, or return to its owner's supply if the placement is not possible.
