Carcassonne: The Castle

← All Carcassonne: The Castle questions

Can a tower, house or court be placed so that it blocks a path already in play?

The rulebook's laying rules require paths to be continued, and posters confirm the same constraint.

No. A path must always be continued, so you cannot lay a tile that leaves an open path end without a matching path. Towers, houses and courts may be laid next to one another in any arrangement, but they cannot be used to stop a path that is still open.
