Reply: Carcassonne:: Rules:: Re: What if you can't legally place a tile?

by Michael Ward

My experience has been after playing over 130 games of Carcassonne, assuming you're playing with only the base set, just about the only tile that ever causes this problem is the single all city tile. And more often than not, only if its drawn early in the game, when there are not several unfinished cities to attach it to. I think I've seen it occur about 3 times. So something like on average a 1% chance.
