Monastery Tiles

All 26 yellow monastery tiles of The Castles of Burgundy (plus the expansion tiles 27–29): the lasting powers 1–14 and the end-of-game scoring tiles 15–26, with the rulebook's examples.

How monastery tiles work

Each yellow tile is different and numbered. Its power starts the moment you place it in your duchy and lasts all game; tiles in storage do nothing. End-game tiles score only if they are in your duchy at the end. A monastery placed late still counts in full at final scoring.

• Tiles 1–14 change rules for you while in your duchy.
• Tiles 15–26 score points at the end of the game.
• Tiles 27–29 come with the expansions (New Hex Tiles, White Castles).

[Solo] In the solo game a scoring monastery scores when placed, not at the end (A solo round).

Ongoing effects

Tile	While it is in your duchy
	1 — You may build more than one building of the same type in a town.
	2 — At each phase end, each mine also gives you a worker. FAQ
	3 — Selling goods (die or warehouse) gives 2 silver instead of 1. FAQ
	4 — Selling goods also gives a worker.
	5 — Placing a ship also takes all goods from a depot next to the one you chose.
	6 — You may pay 2 workers instead of 2 silver for your purchase, from any depot, not only the black one. Still one purchase per turn. FAQ FAQ
	7 — Placing livestock: +1 VP for each livestock tile that scores. FAQ
	8 — Each worker changes a die by up to 2 instead of 1. FAQ

The rulebook names 17 (watchtower) and 22 (bank); the building on tiles 16, 18–21 and 23 is read from the picture on the tile, which matches that building’s own tile art.
