The results of the Wheel vary depending on which of the sixths of the wheel the pig lands on. Otherwise, a player may choose to place a follower on the wheel if they decline placing a follower that turn. Nineteen tiles from the game have numbers printed on them allowing players to randomly spin the Wheel of Fate (between 1 and 3 spaces around the wheel). The new start tile is the size of 16 tiles, arranged in a 4×4 square and is built using some of the tiles removed from the base game. It also includes a special replacement start tile which depicts the Wheel of Fortune, a new mechanic unique to this edition of the game. It includes 72 tiles, consisting of 63 tiles released in the original base game, 6 from Inns & Cathedrals, 1 from Traders & Builders and 2 from King & Scout.
Carcassonne: Das Schicksalsrad (English: Wheel of Fortune) is both a full replacement for the base game of Carcassonne and an expansion to the original base game.
